Lupita Nyong’o On How Alexa And Siri Influenced Her Vocal Performance In ‘The Wild Robot’ — Contenders London


'The Wild Robot' topped $100M globally last weekend.

“I was inspired by AI voices like Alexa and Siri,” Lupita Nyong’o joked during her session for The Wild Robot this morning at Deadline Contenders in London. In the pic, which is an adaptation of Peter Brown’s award-winning bestseller of the same name, Nyong’o plays a robot called ROZZUM unit 7134 — “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. The Wild Robot also features the voices of Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Stephanie Hsu, and Bill Nighy.
