Overview
- Roger Avary, set on Wednesday to write and direct the film, is partnering with AI-oriented Ex Machina Studios.
- Avary says he will take a more faithful approach using generative AI to lower costs compared with past effects-heavy attempts.
- The producers say their proprietary tools will create large-scale visuals while keeping real actors, human-written scripts, and guild-standard shoots.
- Marco Weber produces with Kirk Petruccelli as executive producer, and K5 International will shop the project at the Cannes market.
- The film has no cast or start date yet, and it follows past stalled versions, including Alex Proyas’s scrapped effort that once had Bradley Cooper attached.
