Cannes boss Thierry Frémaux says the movie industry is currently facing its deepest crisis:

"COVID caused what two world wars did not: the closure of movie theaters. Meanwhile, audiences were consuming cinema on the small screen: the triumph of streaming platforms, a crisis in theater attendance. Today, the industry is in a massive maelstrom. Before, there were two blockbusters a month. Now, there are fewer. What we’ve known has become fragile."

"Can cinema die? No. Cinema as an art form and as a language is not in danger. Cinema is everywhere. What needs to be saved are the theaters, a certain idea of the relationship between creations and the audience. Just as literature and readers cannot survive without bookstores, cinema cannot survive without theaters."

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave."

Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.”

“He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.”

#MatthewMcConaughey predicts to #TimothéeChalamet that AI actors will crash the #Oscars: “It’s damn sure going to infiltrate our category.”

“Will we, in five years, have Best AI Film? Best AI Actor? Maybe. I think it could become another category. I’m not sure. It’s going to be in front of us in ways we don’t even see.”

In Birdman (2014), Michael Keaton walked through Times Square in his underwear. The crew couldn’t afford to shut it down. They used real people’s reactions in this. Still they had a tiny team and distractions to capture genuine reactions in a chaotic take.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

They shut down 20 blocks of Times Square, spent $1 million, and filmed for 3 hours… all so Tom Cruise could run through an empty NYC in Vanilla Sky. No CGI. No cheats. Just pure cinema.
