Gal Gadot has joined the cast of director Doug Liman's 'Bitcoin,' a biographical thriller also starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson, which has faced criticism over reports that producers may use AI to alter performances and capture actors on a 'markerless' digital stage instead of real locations. Gadot publicly defended her involvement on a podcast, saying she spent six months with lawyers ensuring AI wasn't used on her own performance, while arguing that resisting the technology entirely isn't realistic.
Director Adam Wingard has confirmed that his long-discussed live-action or hybrid 'ThunderCats' movie has not been shelved, despite the lack of recent updates. He explained the delay is due to his commitments to other projects rather than any cancellation of the film.
