Grimes 将出演院线 AI 电影 Gods Don't Give Gifts，12 月 4 日上映
Grimes is going to star in an AI movie that’s coming to theaters
- 1歌手 Grimes 将出演 AI 科幻电影 Gods Don't Give Gifts，授权肖像并提供配音表演
- 2影片由 AI 工作室 Fable 制作，被宣传为首部登陆院线的 AI 电影，定档 12 月 4 日
- 3Fable 在新闻稿中预测，动画电影中演员以肖像加配音形式出演的 AI 选角方式将更常见
- 4作者认为好莱坞 AI 项目尚未展示出该技术是关键的叙事工具，此前的奥德赛改编效果欠佳
知名歌手把肖像和声音一起授权给院线 AI 电影，实质是一次市场检验，票房口碑将影响后续名人参与 AI 影视的合作意愿与定价。
- 影响：影视与营销内容团队可把名人肖像加配音的授权模式视为潜在新选项；官方宣传的商业前景与此前 AI 电影口碑不佳并存，观众接受度在上映前还没有被验证。
- 参考：可考虑在 12 月 4 日上映后跟踪票房与口碑数据，再决定是否投入 AI 影视制作；持有名人合作项目的内容方值得先梳理肖像与声音授权的合同条款。
- 依据：官方新闻稿给出商业前景预测，属官方口径，暂无独立验证；此前两版奥德赛改编效果欠佳为作者评价，该片映前尚无观众口碑数据。

The AI-generated sci-fi film Gods Don’t Give Gifts has added a bit of star power: Pop star Grimes is going to appear in the movie. Billed as “the first AI film to come to theatres,” Gods Don’t Give Gifts is a notable test case for the commercial potential of AI films, and it releases on December 4th. Grimes — who will be lending both her likeness and vocal performance to the movie, which you can see in the clip above — potentially gives the project some legitimacy.
AI studio Fable, which is producing the film, claimed in a press release that “casting the likeness of an actor with their spoken vocal performance will become more common with animated films using AI: audiences will see actors, athletes, musicians giving vocal performances with their likeness in films.” Gods Don’t Give Gifts is being directed by Jack London, better known under the online handle Gossip Goblin.
Gods Don’t Give Gifts is an anthology that’s set in a future “where bodies are disposable and consciousness has been commoditized” and depicts what happens when “four interconnected stories collide with the horrifying consequences of humanity’s attempt to transcend the flesh.” Those themes seem to fit pretty snugly with Grimes’ interests, as she has explored themes of transhumanism and artificial intelligence in the past. It’s also not the only AI project she’s working on, with an AI-themed album called Psy Opera in the works.
Here’s the trailer for Gods Don’t Give Gifts:
While there has been plenty of hype around the potential for AI in Hollywood, there’s yet to be a project that shows that the technology is actually a vital storytelling tool. Previous examples, like two different takes on The Odyssey — including one made with Elon Musk’s Grok — have left plenty to be desired.
