Actress Protects Performance from AI
1 Sep
Summary
- Gal Gadot stars in AI-enhanced film 'Bitcoin' alongside Casey Affleck.
- She prioritized protecting her performance from AI's influence.
- AI was used for sets and lighting to reduce film's budget.
Gal Gadot stars in Doug Liman's upcoming film 'Bitcoin,' a production that incorporates AI technology. Gadot expressed a strong desire to protect her own performance from any AI interference, a concern that led her legal team to spend six months negotiating contract details. This meticulous approach reportedly even provided guidance to SAG-AFTRA for updating actor contracts regarding AI.
The use of AI in 'Bitcoin' was primarily for enhancing sets and lighting. This innovative approach was instrumental in bringing the film's production budget down to $70 million, a significant reduction from an estimated $300 million without AI. The film was shot over 20 days on a custom soundstage.
Gadot's involvement reflects a broader industry trend where actors are grappling with the rise of AI. She stated her intention to engage with and learn about AI rather than ignore it, likening it to a train that has already departed. This stance underscores her proactive approach to navigating the evolving landscape of filmmaking and performance.
