- Steven Soderbergh's forthcoming John Lennon documentary will feature AI-generated scenes, a creative choice he believes the late Beatles star would have approved of.
- The film centres on Lennon's final in-depth radio interview with Yoko Ono, which took place just 12 hours before his murder in December 1980.
- Soderbergh utilised artificial intelligence to create metaphorical images and videos for sections where Lennon and Ono discuss abstract philosophical concepts, partly due to budget constraints.
- The Oscar-winning director collaborated with Meta to develop these AI-generated visuals, defending their use as a creative tool akin to VFX rather than an attempt to deceive.
- Lennon's son, Sean Ono Lennon, indicated that his father, known for embracing new technology, would have been eager to experiment with AI.
