AI-Powered Movies: The Future of Filmmaking Arrives in 2 Years
24 Oct
Summary
- Legendary director Paul Schrader predicts first AI-made feature film in 2 years
- Schrader says AI can create facial expressions and emotions like an author
- Schrader believes AI can provide unbiased, superior film reviews
In October 2025, legendary director Paul Schrader made bold predictions about the future of filmmaking. Schrader, the 79-year-old writer behind classics like Taxi Driver, revealed he is working on a script that would be ideal for the first all-AI movie project, stating, "I think we're only two years away from the first AI feature."
Schrader explained that AI can be used as a "pixelator" to create facial expressions and emotions on screen, much like an author describes reactions in a novel. He believes this technology will revolutionize the industry, making it possible to produce films entirely with AI.
Furthermore, Schrader argued that AI-generated film reviews could be superior to human critics, as the technology lacks inherent biases. He noted that AI "doesn't have to favor anybody" and can provide more balanced coverage than the "average" human reviewer.
While the idea of AI-powered movies and critiques raises ethical questions, Schrader's predictions suggest a significant shift in the filmmaking landscape is on the horizon.
