Hollywood’s AI Upscaling Crisis: Greed Over Craft

The issue with degraded classic media on streaming is not AI technology itself, but the industry's prioritization of speed and cost over quality. While meticulous upscaling can enhance older content, many studios use automated tools to rapidly process vast libraries for monetization, resulting in distorted visuals and artifacts. This apathy contrasts with careful, craft-focused restorations, highlighting a broader cultural shift toward efficiency over artistic integrity in Hollywood.

Danny Boyle’s biographical drama 'Ink' had its Canadian premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 15, 2026.

Ink: Boyle’s Murdoch drama lights up Venice with kinetic energy

Danny Boyle’s Ink, adapted by James Graham from his play, traces Rupert Murdoch’s 1969 takeover of Fleet Street via the Sun’s transformation into a populist tabloid, driven by Jack O’Connell’s determined editor and Guy Pearce’s ruthless media magnate. Employing rapid editing, a raucous soundtrack, and an energy that recalls Trainspotting, the Venice opener offers a morally ambivalent rise-and-fall chronicle of media sensationalism anchored by a strong ensemble led by Claire Foy. The film hits U.S. theaters December 11 and streams on Netflix January 8, delivering a vivid portrait of the era’s press culture and its ethical compromises.
