An AI-generated version of The Odyssey is set to release later this summer, but even the studio admits it won't be better than Christopher Nolan's version
It looks like no one is safe from AI, as soon after Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hits theaters, an AI-generated version of the ancient Greek epic is on the way.
The AI movie, titled Odysseus: The Fall, is from AI film studio Fountain 0, directed by Ash Koosha, who is best known for his AI-generated docu-drama Dreams of Violets. The film is 135-minutes long and is due to be released on Fountain 0’s website later this summer. The news comes just one month after the release of the AI-generated audiobook of The Odyssey using Michael Caine's voice.
However, even Fountain 0’s chairman and the executive producer behind the AI movie admit it won't be up to par with Nolan's take. "I don’t think anybody is going to think this film is better than Nolan’s film," said Tom Rogers to Variety. However, Rogers wants the movie to start a discussion around AI movies. "There will be a lot of people who either are not interested in the Odyssey or don’t like going to the movie theaters but have a real interest in AI and what’s going on."
In fact, Rogers thinks his AI movie will drive more viewers to Nolan's epic. "When our film is released, that it will be a catalyst for a lot of people who might not otherwise have seen The Odyssey to hopefully go see it, so they can compare the state of the highest state of human filmmaking achievement, which I truly expect the reviews to suggest Nolan's film is, with what the top state of the art is in AI filmmaking today."
The AI Odyssey movie was made using the AI video generator Kling, with Koosha feeding the AI bot a script in the form of notes. The cast is made up of 12 different people who opted in for their likeness to be used in AI projects, including Koosha himself as inspiration for Odysseus. The movie is still in post-production and can be changed at any point. We wonder if Koosha is waiting for Nolan's movie to drop before he makes any final changes?
The Odyssey hits theaters this Friday, July 17. For more, check out our The Odyssey beginner's guide and our ranking of the best Christopher Nolan movies.
Ein bestätigter Tod und mehrere weitere Vermisste folgten einem gekenterten Boot in der Bucht von San Francisco
Nachdem am Dienstag ein dreistöckiges Pontonboot gekentert war, ist mindestens eine Person gestorben und zwei weitere wurden von den Behörden als vermisst gemeldet. Lokale Nachrichten zeigten, dass das Boot unter der Wasseroberfläche in der Bucht von San Francisco in der Nähe der Insel Alcatraz sank.
Laut Reuters sagte San Franciscos Feuerwehrchef Dean Crispen, dass elf Rettungsschiffe nach den vermissten Personen gesucht haben, sie aber nicht finden konnten, als er auf einer Pressekonferenz sprach. Die Ursache des Untergehens ist unbekannt, und Gerüchte über ein Feuer an Bord des Bootes wurden inzwischen widerlegt.
Von allen 19 Passagieren schafften es 13 sicher an Land, während drei ins Krankenhaus gebracht wurden. Eine Person ist leider gestorben, und zwei weitere werden als vermisst gemeldet. "Wir führen weiterhin eine aktive Suche im Gebiet durch. Wir haben 11 Schiffe auf dem Wasser, die diese Suche durchführen. Wir werden stundenlang weitermachen, um sicherzustellen, dass wir diese beiden vermissten Personen finden, wenn möglich", sagte Crispen.
Battlefield 6 viser frem sjøkrigføring i forkant av premieren på sesong 4
Battlefield 6 har avslørt sin fjerde sesong, som handler om å nyte havsprut og sjøluft, rett før du dukker deg for å unngå en regn av skudd, ettersom sesong 4 fokuserer på sjøkrigføring. Et nytt kart, nye våpen, kjøretøy og mer pryder kysten i denne nye strandbaserte Battlefield-sesongen, som lanseres 21. juli.
Først og fremst har vi Tsuru Reef, det nye kartet som kommer i sesong 4 og som ifølge utviklerne er det største slagfeltet hittil. Det har vidstrakte øyer hvor du kan kjempe til fots, samt rikelig med dypblått hav å forsvinne i. Naviger gjennom det urolige havet med patruljebåten RCB-90 eller den 7,7 meter lange NSW RHIB. Fire nye våpen blir også introdusert, blant annet Interdictor-snikskytterriflen.
Senere i sesongen vil også Wake Island gjøre sin etterlengtede tilbakekomst. Selvfølgelig er det også en ny Ranked Battle Royale-sesong å klatre i, i tillegg til det ekstra innholdet som kommer som en del av den nye sjøsesongen. Sjekk ut gameplay-traileren nedenfor:
Dead Space creator Glen Schofield announces he's retiring from "the day-to-day work" of making games from the vicinity of some chirpy nature
Dead Space creator Glen Schofield has decided it's time to walk away from game development, or at least "the day-to-day work of making them. Thus concludes a career which kicked off all the way back in the early 90s, and saw Schofield work on games ranging from Disney World racing to Call of Duty and The Callisto Protocol. The latter will now go down as the developer's last game, provided he hasn't got any surprise un-retirements up his sleeves.
