Sylvester Stallone defends AI in filmmaking after backlash to a ‘half human, half AI’ pitch

Variety reports that Stallone told The Overlap he faced backlash for pitching a “half human, half AI” movie but would take the risk, arguing that AI is here to stay. He did not identify the project; Variety notes he previously pitched using AI and de-aging to play a young Rambo. Stallone also said AI will make it harder for new actors to break into the industry.
