The film was announced in 2025 as being directed by Doug Liman (<em>The Bourne Identity<\/em>, <em>The Edge of Tomorrow<\/em>) and starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson in undisclosed roles, but its connection to overhyped technology was previously understood to begin and end with cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">According to a UK casting notice viewed by <em>Variety<\/em>, the producers of <em>Killing Satoshi<\/em> reserve the right to &ldquo;change, add to, take from, translate, reformat or reprocess&rdquo; actors&rsquo; performances, using &ldquo;generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and\/or machine learning technologies.&rdquo; No digital replicas will be created of performers, but it sounds like plenty of other AI-driven tweaks are on the table. The production&rsquo;s use of AI will also extend to the setting of its shoots, per Variety&rsquo;s source. <em>Killing Satoshi<\/em> will be shot on a &ldquo;markerless performative capture stage&rdquo; and things like backgrounds and locations will be entirely generated by AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">You guess is as good as mine as to why a film about blockchain technology needs to be filmed this way, but Doug Liman has been connected with plenty of unusual projects in the past, including a rumored Tom Cruise film that was supposed to film on the International Space Station. <em>Killing Satoshi<\/em> will be far less practical in comparison, and walking a much finer line of what&rsquo;s acceptable in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_1i1ctccilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body mb-4 hidden pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_2i1ctccilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">A major sticking point in SAG-AFTRA&rsquo;s 2023 contract negotiations was guaranteeing protections for actors who could be replaced by AI. Equity, the union representing actors in the UK, is currently negotiating protections for members that are concerned that AI could be used to reproduce their likenesses and voices and let studios use them without their consent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Bitcoin biopic starring Casey Affleck to use AI to generate locations and tweak performances<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Killing Satoshi, an upcoming biopic about the elusive creator of Bitcoin, will reportedly rely heavily on artificial intelligence to generate locations and adjust actors&rsquo; performances, Variety reports.
