Soderbergh Embraces AI as Creative Tool, Courting Debate Over His Remarks

Steven Soderbergh defends AI as a practical, non-threatening tool—using it to visualize surreal imagery in his Lennon documentary and planning for a future Spanish‑American War project—while facing backlash over his AI comments. He and writer Ed Solomon disagree on AI’s role in writing, with Solomon dismissive of AI as a writing tool. The interview also delves into The Christophers as a dialogue-driven chamber piece, McKellen’s recent experiences, Michaela Coel’s casting, and the canceled Ben Solo project, framing AI as an evolving aid rather than a death knell for cinema.

It remains unclear whether other theater chains will follow suit.

Cinematographer Roger Deakins reflects on five decades behind the camera, his craft as lighting and visual storytelling, and the collaborative nature of filmmaking. In conversation with his wife James, he discusses his new memoir Reflections: On Cinematography, his preference for careful, minimalist shooting over flashy tech, and his concerns about how AI, streaming, and CGI are reshaping Hollywood toward more event-driven cinema. He laments the loss of character-driven films, outlines the discipline of lighting and planning, and notes how Team Deakins and outreach work aim to demystify the industry for newcomers while acknowledging a changing future for film.

Unveiling Tom Cruise's Controversial Movie Contract Clause Amid SAG-AFTRA Strike

Tom Cruise reportedly has a secret clause in all of his film contracts that prohibits the use of his likeness for merchandise, which is why his face is not seen on video game covers or merch. This clause has been in place for years, predating the current SAG-AFTRA strike. The strike has been fighting against the use of AI in film, and while Cruise has lobbied for SAG-AFTRA's concerns to be heard, his unique contract clause has sparked a debate on social media. Some applaud Cruise for protecting his likeness, while others criticize his connections to Scientology.
