Though moviegoers certainly have an appetite for franchise slop these days, it’s a stretch to say that they’d be willing to bite down on wholly AI-generated movies just yet. Even more of a stretch: that the technology is anywhere near good enough to produce entire feature films. This is the reckoning that the mammoth Hollywood studio Lionsgate is undergoing right now, as one of the first big studios to go in on the tech.

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-22 13:30:18

Filmmaker Charlie Kaufman’s got a lot to say about the state of the world—and why he thinks Hollywood is at least partially to blame for it.

Palantir Goons Reportedly Want to Remake Hollywood Into a Libertarian Dream Factory

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-01-29 12:05:46

Rightwing forces in the U.S. have long coveted a key fixture of American liberalism’s soft power: Hollywood. The “dream factory” that deeply influences the ways Americans see themselves and the world around them has often been accused of (perhaps rightfully so) having a liberal bent. Now, it appears that a group with ties to America’s military-industrial complex has a plan to take over Tinseltown and mold it in their own image.
