“I’m very lucky to have a job,” Close said. The Hollywood Reporter. “There were already so many people affected in Los Angeles, and then now with the fires. I was surprised how few jobs there are in our profession. I’m a big reader of history, and unfortunately, I think there aren’t enough people in this. The country understands the story and what we just got into.
“In addition to that it is (artificial intelligence). What is going to be true? What is true will be a big question.”

Close mused: “Is it progress that fewer people will work because of that? I don’t know. I think we’re losing one thing that a place like Sundance and what Michelle has done is so important: stories about what it means to be a human being.” .
“We have to keep coming back and being inspired by things that teach us, that help us with our emotions to know what it means to be human and (forever) look into the eyes of another person, not a screen, but another human eyes.

Last year, Nicolas Cage He warned actors about the need to monitor their images amid the rise in popularity of AI.
“There’s a new technology in town. It’s a technology I didn’t have to deal with for 42 years until recently. But these 10 young actors, this generation, certainly will be, and they call it ‘EBDR.’ This technology wants to take your instrument.
EBDR stands for “employment-based digital replication,” one of two digital replications allowed after the agreement struck by the Actors’ Union Sag-Aftra and the studios after last year’s dual strikes.

According to the contract rules, an “EBDR is one created in connection with your employment in a motion picture” and may require something like an actor’s body scanned. Compensation is based on how much an artist would have worked in person for the scenes using the digital replica, and artists are entitled to the residuals from the appearance of their replica in the finished product.
“The studios want this so they can change your face after you’ve already shot it: they can change your face, they can change your voice, they can change your line deliveries, they can change your body language, they can change your performance,” Cage warned .

“I ask you, if a studio approaches you to sign a contract, allowing them to use EBDR in your performance, I want you to consider what I’m calling ‘mvmfmbmi’ – my voice, my face, my body, my imagination: my performance, in response.

“AI can write you a great imitative verse that sounds Elizabethan, it can’t write you Shakespeare,” Affleck said at CNBC’s Investor Alpha 2024 Summit. “The function of having two actors, or three or four actors in a room and the flavor to discern and build, that is something that currently completely eludes the capability of AI and I think will do so for a significant period of time.”
He added: “What AI is going to do is disintermediate the laborious, less creative and more expensive aspects of cinema that will lower costs, that will reduce the barrier to entry, that will allow more voices to be heard, that will make it easier for people who want to do ‘GOOD WOLL CANTINGS’ go out and do it.”
