Lisa Kudrow Criticizes Robert Zemeckis Film ‘Here’ As “Endorsement For AI”


Despite the nostalgia factor of Robert Zemeckis' 'Here', its use of AI bodes for a frightening future to some, including Lisa Kudrow.

Lisa Kudrow recently criticized the film’s use of digital de-aging to depict the cast as their characters over several time periods as “an endorsement for AI” after the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes called for efforts to regulate the technology. “Anybody can now recreate themselves at any age they are by way of AI or deep fake technology … I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that’s it, but my performances can go on and on and on,” added Hanks. Also starring Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly and Michelle Dockery, the Miramax and ImageMovers film is produced by Zemeckis, Derek Hogue, Jack Rapke and Bill Block.
