As a cinema aficionado who’s seen more movies than I can count stars, this news about Joseph Gordon-Levitt directing Anne Hathaway in an AI thriller is nothing short of electrifying! The creative powerhouse that these names represent is truly mind-boggling.
Here’s one way to rephrase it:
As per an exclusive report from Deadline, the currently unnamed movie was jointly written by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kieran Fitzgerald, who were also behind the 2016 film Snowden where Gordon-Levitt portrayed the main character, Edward Snowden. In another Oliver Stone movie, Fitzgerald has previously worked on the miniseries Wormwood, featuring Peter Sarsgaard. Although it’s not clear from the report how everything came together, both Gordon-Levitt and Fitzgerald share credit for the story along with Natasha Lyonne, known for her role in Poker Face.
Isn’t it intriguing to think about what the dialogue was like between these individuals when they first conceived of this idea, as if we were invisible listeners?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt Loves Working With Longtime Collaborators
Since he established HitRecord, a collective production company, it’s not unexpected that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is collaborating with such a creative team. The intersection between Gordon-Levitt and this group, as a writer, actor, producer, and director, is vast and far-reaching. For instance, Gordon-Levitt has been working closely with Rian Johnson since 2005, when he appeared in Johnson’s debut film, the cult favorite “Brick.” Later, he portrayed a young Bruce Willis in Johnson’s sci-fi action movie “Looper.” Moreover, T-Street co-founder Ram Bergman was involved in producing Gordon-Levitt’s 2013 directorial debut, “Don Jon,” with Johnson offering feedback on the project from script to post-production.
In one of the episodes from the series that Johnson co-stars in with Lyonne, called Poker Face, Joseph Gordon-Levitt made an appearance. It’s interesting to note that this collaboration took place during season one, and it just so happened while they were both on set. Additionally, Gordon-Levitt and Anne Hathaway have a past working relationship. They acted together in the 2012 movie, The Dark Knight Rises. This film was directed by Christopher Nolan, a relatively unknown director at that time, although he has since become quite famous. Interestingly, Hathaway will be collaborating with Nolan again next year.
Regarding Gordon-Levitt’s views on Artificial Intelligence, it seems he has given this topic considerable thought. Notably, his wife is a member of the board at OpenAI Nonprofit, and in 2023, he published an opinion piece in The Washington Post expressing his thoughts on AI, a subject that sparks debate.
When I make a film and sign a deal with a movie production company, I consent to their ownership of the copyright for the movie. This seems reasonable since they funded its creation, so they should be able to profit from it as they see fit. However, had I realized that by granting them exclusive rights to the movie’s intellectual property, I was essentially providing them with material to train an AI that could potentially replace me permanently, I would have hesitated before signing the contract.
This rule doesn’t only pertain to the film and television sector; it’s widespread in numerous industries. Let me give you an example from the medical field. A doctor’s work generates significant intellectual property, such as patient records. Often, doctors agree to hospital terms that grant exclusive ownership of these records. However, if they had been aware that these records would be utilized as training data for an AI potentially replacing them permanently, they likely wouldn’t have consented to those contracts.
One of numerous strong arguments exists against using Artificial Intelligence, and it’s highly likely that his upcoming movie will introduce a few additional ones.
There is no release date yet set for Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s AI thriller.
