The news: Anthony and Joe Russo are launching a high-tech production studio focused on AI-assisted filmmaking, per The Wall Street Journal; their goal is to ensure AI serves as a tool for artists rather than a replacement.
- The initiative is backed by a $400 million investment from South Korean gaming firm Nexon and will emphasize “transmedia” storytelling, allowing digital assets to be shared across films, games, and other media.
- Despite their push into AI, their latest Netflix film, “The Electric State,” was largely made using traditional methods apart from AI voice modulation.
