- Emily Blunt chose not to utilise artificial intelligence for a pivotal scene in her forthcoming Steven Spielberg sci-fi film, Disclosure Day, expressing her apprehension about the technology.
- For a four-minute continuous shot where her character disintegrates and speaks an alien language, Blunt personally recorded a variety of organic sounds, including clicks, hums, and unusual breathing, which were subsequently refined by a sound designer.
- Disclosure Day, also starring Colin Firth and directed by Spielberg, is scheduled for release on 12 June and sees Blunt portray a Kansas City TV meteorologist overcome by an extraterrestrial force.
- Blunt's decision reflects a broader concern among actors regarding the increasing use of AI in filmmaking, with Matthew McConaughey previously warning about its potential to replace performers.
- This comes as the first fully AI-generated feature-length film, Dreams of Violets, made for $2,000 over three months, is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on 10 June.
