From Slums in Beverly Hills At the heart of Silicon Valley: actress, writer and director Natasha Lyonne has not shy away from AI, even if other creatives in Hollywood mean to what technology means to their industry.
like Hollywood ReporterLyonne and OA Co-creator Marin and virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier in a sci-fi movie called Incredible valley. The film will include AI-generated visuals from Asteria, a self-proclaimed "artist-led AI film and animation studio" co-founded by Lyonne and her partner, film producer and entrepreneur Bryn Mooser. Asteria and its partner Moonvalley AI recently debuted the video model Marey, which they called “clean and ethical” because it was trained only on licensed content, while similar models scratched out of publicly available or copyrighted materials without permission.
Incredible valleyco-starred by an actress co-written by Lyonne and Marling, Lyonne made her debut on her album Director. It follows Mila, a teenage girl who is immersed in open-world augmented reality video games, with the lines between physical and digital reality increasingly blurring. In a statement, Lyonne described the work done on the project with Marling matrix For sports, just find yourself holding the architectural blueprint. "It is not clear whether the film (Lyonne) also compared it to the film of the Wachowski sisters, matrixdesigned for drama release or streaming platforms.
It is presumed that the generated AI will involve the sequence of Mira playing the game. Asteria representative told Hollywood Reporter The film “will blend traditional storytelling with cutting-edge AI to create a radical new cinematic experience.”
AI is a tough issue throughout the entertainment industry, a big point in the 2023 Hollywood strike, long after finding writers and actors worried that studios could use it to play scripts or insert similarities of movie stars into visual content. Hundreds of actors, directors and other film insiders led by Lyonne recently signed a letter urging the federal government not to relax copyright protections to prevent AI companies from training their models in broader writing, visual effects and more.
But while the union delayed the tools, companies like Openai held a shorts in West Hollywood in March, making shorts with text-to-video model Sora in an attempt to convince Hollywood's potential. Meanwhile, some studio executives are eager to implement such models in their production streams, which especially achieves impressive visual effects under the human labor force.
All of this makes Incredible valley Stable propositions for Lyonne and his creative team.
