Hollywood Minute: James Cameron discusses A.I. in filmmaking

In a recent interview on the Boz to the Future podcast, the iconic director shared his vision of using A.I. to enhance the process of creating effects-heavy films.

(CNN)- James Cameron has always been known for pushing the boundaries of filmmaking, and now he’s turning to artificial intelligence (A.I.) to reshape the industry. In a recent interview on the Boz to the Future podcast, the iconic director shared his vision of using A.I. to enhance the process of creating effects-heavy films without replacing the creative minds behind them.

“I like that kind of intellectual challenge,” Cameron said, emphasizing that the goal is not to lay off staff at visual effects companies. Instead, he believes A.I. can help “double the speed to completion on a given shot” while still preserving the human touch in filmmaking.

Cameron’s thoughts come at a time when Hollywood is under pressure to reduce the high costs of making blockbuster films. He sees A.I. as a tool to streamline processes and make movies more affordable, while ensuring the industry continues to thrive.

Meanwhile, fans of the popular video game adaptation The Last of Us have reason to celebrate. HBO has officially renewed the show for a third season ahead of its highly anticipated season two premiere, set for Sunday, April 13th. The series, which has captivated audiences with its gripping storytelling and post-apocalyptic world, continues to build excitement as it enters its next chapter.

In other gaming-to-screen news, Netflix has already given the green light for a second season of Devil May Cry, an animated series based on the beloved demon-hunting video game. The first season debuted just a week ago on April 3rd, and the early renewal signals confidence in the show’s success.
