It worked and generated publicity. I suspect their next movie will get nominated for an award at some academy, bonus points if Oscar Micheaux[1] or anyone else with that given name gets mentioned. As long as BS sells, BS will get produced I guess. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Micheaux

I'm tired of LIE fast and break things.

> I'm tired of move fast and break things Simple fix, stop hovering the HN frontpage every hour, don't read every news item you come across, it isn't needed, and probably isn't good for our psyche either :) Some things of course impact your day to day life, but most of these "Hate / Love" articles and news are mostly made to drive clicks, not to actually make your life better.

Like when the AI either costs them their job, or crashes as a bubble and takes the economy and their livelihood with it.
The trailer is also awful. A slopfest impossible to follow. The editing is nauseating, the sound design is uninspired and the visual quality is hallucinatory.
But there will never be a successful, fully AI generated film. I don't believe it, anyway.
Of course not, the entire industry is in mass LLM psychosis and in full on liar mode.

Way too many companies have figured out that exaggerating, misleading, or outright lying gets them headlines, investors, and free marketing long before anyone verifies the claims.
While $500k 90m movie done in two weeks is an accomplishment, looking at the trailer it's very dubious to me on the quality of it. Plot, characters, audio - everything screams "I've already seen this somewhere", there's no substance here, at least for me. And while computer visuals are nice, it's nowhere "Love Sex Robots" quality where they're driven by computer graphics as well.
Is it, though? If all you want is a movie, you can make it for both less money and less time. And if you actually have some modicum of talent, you can make it higher-quality to boot; see Joel Haver, who challenged himself to author, film, edit, and release 12 feature-length films during the course of 2024 on effectively no budget whatsoever (playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-ZRRTsa5SY&list=PLKtIcOP0Wv... ).

Apathy is for cowards.
