Earlier this month, OpenAI announced it had teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/openai-full-hollywood-movie-using-ai\">feature-length animated movie made largely with AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Iervolino\u2019s announcement comes at a time when <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/artificial-intelligence\/openai-ai-video-sam-altman\">skepticism and outright hatred of AI-generated content<\/a> have reached a fever pitch, with tech companies encountering major backlash after <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/artificial-intelligence\/openai-launching-tiktok-competitor-ai-slop-videos\">announcing a slew of new social media apps<\/a> designed to share AI slop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Users on social media immediately disparaged Iervolino\u2019s project, calling it \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/wulfblvck\/status\/1973430784397811953\" rel=\"nofollow\">garbage<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PangenderTina\/status\/1973426680682389632\" rel=\"nofollow\">f**king stupid<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c99glvn5870o\" rel=\"nofollow\">announcement<\/a> of the \u201cAI actor\u201d Tilly Norwood created a particularly massive stir, with major Hollywood stars denouncing the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">A-lister actress Emily Blunt called the project \u201cterrifying,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/emily-blunt-ai-actress-tilly-norwood-reaction-1236534547\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">telling <em>Variety<\/em><\/a> that agencies should \u201cstop taking away our human connection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\u201cYou are suddenly up against something that\u2019s been generated with 5,000 other actors\u2026 so it\u2019s a little bit of an unfair advantage,\u201d Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/whoopi-goldberg-condemns-ai-actress-164444158.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">said on \u201cThe View\u201d earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Norwood \u201cis not an actor, it\u2019s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers,\u201d the Screen Actors Guild said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/GMA\/Culture\/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-sparks-hollywood-backlash\/story?id=126081156\" rel=\"nofollow\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">In short, Iervolino will likely have plenty of criticism to contend with if he goes through with the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">In a statement, he argued that \u201cThe Sweet Idleness\u201d will represent a \u201cnew chapter in the history of cinema,\u201d according to <em>Deadline<\/em> \u2014 but added that it wasn\u2019t designed to \u201creplace traditional cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">How that line of reasoning will sit with human directors remains to be seen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\"><strong>More on AI in Hollywood:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/openai-full-hollywood-movie-using-ai\"><em>OpenAI Says It\u2019s Making a Full Hollywood Movie Using AI<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/artificial-intelligence\/producer-new-movie-directed-ai-entity\">Producer Announces New Movie Will Be Directed by an AI Entity<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/\">Futurism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px;
