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... one of Cinema’s most successful films of all time without the use of AI. Why does Boyle, or any director, need AI? Feels sort of like a gut punch.show more

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Isn’t CGI the same thing?

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

I don't think it is going anywhere, people are just going to have to decide if they will want to watch it or not

Overrated director anyways

Smooth brain can’t even grasp the plot of the movie

When am Oscar winning director uses AI for 30 total seconds of reproducing mice . God get over yourselves.

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

He's only made one good movie. SM. Everything else is overhyped bullshit

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

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

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

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.

@FilmExpressYT Danny Boyle’s washed again

Just accept dude, Ai is going to be part of Cinema, either you wanted or not

Get over it

30 seconds. C’mon.
