DEVELOPING: Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle recently confirmed that his upcoming release this December titled Ink uses AI, estimating roughly 30 seconds of AI use which includes reproducing mice. I find this so disappointing, especially considering all the Oscar buzz this film is receiving. We just witnessed Christopher Nolan direct... show more

treating 30 seconds of digital mice like the fall of cinema is crazy

mjb7 days ago

Did you bother to actually read why or is just another one of your stupid uneducated takes for clicks?

Jess Lucero7 days ago

He definitely used more AI then that. He is only sharing what he is willing to share. Essentially, you can't trust what you see in the film.

Doug Borton7 days ago

Who cares? AI is now just another tool. It will be used when convenient, like CG and other effects.

Chriszy7 days ago

People complaining are always non CG/VFX people. It saves them time from modeling mice and animating it for a mid-low budget drama. Accountants arent being vilified for using calculators when it was invented. Also citing Nolan’s work is silly. Thats a 250million drama

Geoff Langenderfer7 days ago

huh? Who cares if he used AI I just want great stories

Lando7 days ago

Isn’t CGI the same thing?

Bitsy7 days ago

Yeah. I hate that movies are in color these days. So disappointing.

Paul7 days ago

I’m affraid that A.I is not going away. We better embrace it as a tool. Human creativity will always be my preference but if A.I as a tool can make the process of filmmaking smoother and more room in a tight budget, i can see why people choose this route.

Despicable - using AI just so they didn’t have to pay real mice

Ryan Loves Movies7 days ago

30 seconds of AI use, lol. Who cares? Silly.

Fox7 days ago

Shock horror, 30 seconds of AI! How is it any different to ADR? On every film or trailer we bring actors back in (or hire a soundalike) to re-record dialog. How is it different?

movies are fun7 days ago

Cinema is all about using tricks to create illusions and this honestly no different Its unavoidable that studios and independent creators alike will use ai in their projects, its faster, cheaper and easier, i am not saying it should be embraced, but its unavoidable imo

Alex Mackenzie7 days ago

I don’t know, his reasoning and rationale seems pretty understandable and I don’t like the idea of AI creating art. How is this much different to other previous examples of CG? If he was using it to completely craft scenes or performances, then sure, different discussion.

Episodez7 days ago

Right. Let's tell an Oscar-winning director what tools he should use to make movies.

Zayy7 days ago

Pretty sure everything Netflix puts out at this point has some sort of gen AI attached to it

Nathan Raymond Rae7 days ago

Why did he bother using digital cameras to film "28 Days Later" and "Slumdog Millionaire" when doing so was unpopular?

MovieMagic | 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine7 days ago

if it's a Tool so what?!, if it's taking jobs then we have a problem. if it's for a mice scene, what makes it different from computer generated VFX !! before VFX, filmmakers used practical effects, now they are using Ai effects. again, if it's a tool and not taking jobs, so what?

Gideon Hansen7 days ago

This is taking away real jobs from the mice actors guild!

Wow, an AI mouse rather than a CGI mouse. The walls of Troy are falling!!

PopsnFlops7 days ago

It’s the future. It’s cheap and the tech is good. When used in the right way it’ll save on huge production costs

Greek_Gatsby7 days ago

Its not the use of AI that should bother you but more how it is used. Using 30 seconds of AI mice instead of CGI ones shouldn't feel like the end of cinema

Blex7 days ago

You are just a dork ass in apartment who types tweets you don’t create shit who cares

Athol Brose7 days ago

It isn’t to save them time. It is to save them from spending money on other artists, photographers, visual effects teams. If they have no respect for other artists work then nobody should have respect for theirs.

Steven Soderbergh said recently that his next film will feature a significant amount of AI. My initial, knee-jerk reaction is I hate this news. It feels beneath Soderbergh, a director I love. But…if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt with AI, isn’t it at least Soderbergh?

The Banshees of Inisherin is a masterpiece. Like all great works of art, the more you revisit this film - the more you roll the sleeves up & spend time in Martin McDonagh’s world with these unbelievable actors in this incredible landscape - the more you realize that this is one of the decade’s best films. I find McDonagh so interesting. His next film Wild Horse Nine hits theaters November 6th & while all eyes are on Denis & Nolan, McDonagh could rock the Oscar boat.

Ahmad Zia an award winning director from Lahore got early access to “Director” by Open AI. To put it to the test, he created a Pixar-style short about a baker desperately trying to protect his croissant from a relentless pigeon. The entire film was vibe directed, not prompted. He didn't make a single edit to the original output so you can see exactly what Director is capable of straight out of the box. This is the future of video production! In 2 years kids across Pakistan will be making Oscar nominated films. All they need is bandwidth, subsidised tools & electricity.

Look at the hysterical anti-AI comments in this thread from people who have never animated a day in their life. They claim AI "undercuts artists" and "steals from real animators." As a real animator who has been animating for 20 years, AI is simply the equivalent of getting a budget and a studio. Especially as one who has been blacklisted from the industry, AI is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. "Independent animators are the only artists who are expected to do the jobs of hundreds of people." Did Disney, Bakshi, or Judge stop being artists/animators because they got a studio, and didn't animate every single frame of their films by themselves? The answer from these commenters would be "ofcourse not." So why is it any different when a head animator uses AI to do all the laborious bitchwork instead of poorly paid Koreans? If a director ceases to be an artist because they use AI, then that means a director ceases to be an artist because they use a studio, and only the studio of poorly paid Koreans doing tedious repetitive bitchwork would be considered the Real Artists. Obviously, this is absurd logic. I still have seen no one refute this, and I would like to see some of the people in this thread try.

Al Pacino’s prime was obviously in the ‘70s but part of what makes his career so legendary is the “second prime” he went through in the ‘90s, which includes winning an Oscar & making films like Carlito’s Way, Heat, The Insider & here in The Devil’s Advocate, where Pacino is as explosive as ever. This is one of my favorite Pacino performances of all time & film everyone should see.

Willem Dafoe has never won an Oscar. Writing that sentence feels wrong for countless reasons. I mention that because Dafoe might get his Oscar moment this year with his new film - Late Fame - but the reality is that Dafoe doesn’t need an Oscar to validate his career. Take a film like Mississippi Burning, a film that earned Gene Hackman and Frances McDormand Oscar nominations, but not Dafoe. All of which is to say that Dafoe has spent his entire career without ever receiving the true recognition he deserves.

Elon Musk: AI can already do half of all white-collar work. “Even with AI at its current state, I'd say you're pretty close to being able to replace half of all jobs. White-collar jobs. That includes anything like education too. So anything that involves information. Anything short of shaping atoms, AI can do probably half or more of those jobs right now. But there's a lot of inertia. People just keep doing the same thing for quite some time. And there actually has to be a company that makes more use of AI that competes with a company that makes less use of AI, creating a forcing function for increased use of AI. Otherwise, the company that still has humans do things that AI can do will still continue to exist.” Source: Moonshots #220, January 6, 2026.

AI video is getting wild… but THIS is on another level. 🤯🎬 My colleague Nick Lentz just dropped his submission for the Higgsfield Action Contest, and it’s honestly one of the most realistic and cinematic uses of AI video I’ve seen yet. The nuance of the characters. The action. The subtlety of the shots. It feels like something straight out of a film. If you’re into AI filmmaking or just want to see where this tech is heading, you’ve gotta check it out. If you like it, drop a comment or give it a thumbs up and show him some love. 🔥 Here's the link where you can vote:

Christopher Nolan Explains Why He Doesn’t Use CGI and Shoots on IMAX Robert Downey Jr.: Why Christopher Nolan doesn’t use CGI. Christopher Nolan: I find CGI, however versatile it is, but it always tends to feel a little safe to me. Christopher Nolan: I think if you want something to have a bit of bite, you’ve got the imagery to a better threat, even if it’s a miniature, even if it’s something very fake, but something real on camera. Christopher Nolan: I think it gives you a better result. Robert Downey Jr.: Why does Christopher Nolan shoot on film? Christopher Nolan: I shoot on film because it’s the highest quality imaging format ever devised, particularly IMAX film, large-format film. Christopher Nolan: Film shows you the world kind of the way your eye sees it. Robert Downey Jr.: Where does Christopher Nolan get his ideas? Christopher Nolan: All over the place. Different on every film. Christopher Nolan: Oppenheimer, I’d been interested in a long time, didn’t know that much about the specifics of his story, then came to the book American Prometheus, and that absolutely got me hooked. Christopher Nolan: So, in the case of Oppenheimer, the idea… I trace it right back to, like, as a kid in the eighties, and we all thought we were gonna die in nuclear Armageddon. Robert Downey Jr.: Absolutely. Me too.

You can release 1,000 games on Roblox, but if they're all this low quality, none of them are going to succeed. Use AI for the programming all you want, but it won't save a game that's fundamentally bad. There are plenty of successful games that use AI as part of the development process, but they still have someone with a solid understanding of programming and game design guiding the AI toward a quality product. AI is a tool, not a replacement for good judgment or experience. If the game itself isn't fun, polished, or well designed, it simply isn't going to do well.

Mo Gawdat believes up to 30% of jobs in certain sectors could disappear by 2028. That stopped me in my tracks. Mo was one of the first people to come on this podcast and warn me about AI, long before most of the world was talking about it. At the time, it felt early. Now, it feels like the world is catching up to what he was seeing. I’m still trying to understand what AI actually means for our lives. Not just whether it can write emails, create images or make us more productive. I mean what it does to jobs. What it does to power. What it does to education. What it does to human connection… That’s why I wanted to have this discussion with Mo again. What makes Mo worth listening to is that he saw these systems inside Google years before most of us had even heard the term AI. His book *Scary Smart* now feels like it was written for this exact moment. Let me explain why this discussion matters. Mo believes we’re not just entering an AI revolution. We’re entering a period where AI, robotics, economics, surveillance, digital currencies and global instability are all colliding at the same time. That’s a lot for any of us to process. We spoke about: - The jobs Mo believes are most at risk from AI. - Why he believes that AI is actually underhyped! - The mistake almost everyone is making with ChatGPT. - The prediction that changed even his own view of the future. The part that stayed with me was this idea that human connection may become the real currency. Because if AI can produce the information, write the report, analyse the data, then what is left? I don’t think this conversation gives neat answers. That’s probably why it’s worth watching. It helped me think more honestly about what’s coming.

After analyzing more than 12,000 real-world AI use cases, researcher Marc Zao-Sanders found that people are increasingly turning to AI for practical help and entertainment, while some self-improvement uses—like organizing life, finding purpose, and healthier living—have fallen out of the top 10. One finding stood out: More than a quarter of the top use cases involve asking AI to do some of our thinking for us. Marc and his team call this "thinkslop": the lazy, sloppy thinking that can emerge when we rely on AI to form opinions, make decisions, or figure out what we think instead of doing that work ourselves.
