David Cronenberg Thinks ‘The Brutalist’s AI Controversy Was A Smear Campaign: “Just A Part Of Moviemaking”
Following controversy around 'The Brutalist's usage of AI, David Cronenberg is coming to the Best Picture Oscar nominee's defense.
During a conversation with longtime collaborator Howard Shore at the London Soundtrack Festival, the director theorized there was a “campaign against” the Brady Corbet-helmed film, noting that AI is used “all the time” in filmmaking. Cronenberg explained that directors “mess with actors’ voices all the time,” citing John Lone’s performance in his 1993 film M. Butterfly.
