proposed to use artificial intelligence to scan the faces of extras and use their likeness in perpetuity.On Thursday, the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) officially declared its intention to go on strike, with one of the many areas of concern for the union being the use of AI within the industry.During a press conference, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) had made a so-called “groundbreaking” proposal that, with the use of AI, would allow the likenesses of film and television background performers to be used indefinitely.Sharing his anger at the proposal on Twitter, Cusack said: “Studios wanna have extras work one day, scan them — own their likeness forever — and eliminate them from the business.“Do you think they will stop with extras? That’s what AI is — a giant Copywrite identity theft [and] criminal enterprise.”Studios wanna have extras work one day Scan them – own their likeness forever – and eliminate them from the business – & do you think they will stop with extras – ?

Queen guitarist Brian May has said that it’s “not impossible” that the band could discuss playing Glastonbury Festival.Back in 2019, May explained why the band would “never” play the festival, before doubling down on the comments this year.Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis previously called May a “danger to farming” and criticised the guitarist’s opposition to the controversial badger cull –  arguing that the process is a fight against the impact that bovine TB can cause when cattle become infected.May then said the band will never play Worthy Farm because “Michael Eavis has frequently insulted me, and I don’t particularly enjoy that. What bothers me more is that he’s in favour of the badger cull, which I regard as a tragedy and an unnecessary crime against wildlife.”In a new interview with The Guardian, May was asked once again about Glastonbury and whether he and Eavis could settle their differences.He said: “You can never say never, but it’s a very big matter of principle to me.

Rebecca Romijn is addressing her time working with two controversial directors from her time with the X-Men.

accused of sexual misconduct by at least four men, who were allegedly underage at the time. Brett Ratner, 54, who directed Romijn in “X-Men: The Last Stand,” has also been accused of sexual misconduct by several women, including Olivia Munn and actress Natasha Henstridge. “Juno” actor Elliot Page also spoke out about being harassed and outed by Ratner as a vulnerable young person in Hollywood, struggling with their sexuality.So, why didn’t Romijn say anything when she worked with these two directors, and the #MeToo movement was shining a light on actions by other celebs such as Louis CK and James Franco? She told The Independent that it was hard to reconcile Singer’s filmmaking — which she claims to have had a positive experience with — with his actions. “He’s a fantastic filmmaker, you know? It was amazing watching him work.

While Rebecca Romijn initially did not address X-Men directors Brett Ratner and Bryan Singer’s respective misconduct scandals, she is no longer staying silent.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Rebecca Romijn’s tenure as Raven Darkhölme/Mystique in the “X-Men” franchise included four feature films (and an uncredited cameo in a fifth) and two male directors who went on to be accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate set behavior. Bryan Singer directed Romijn in “X-Men,” “X2” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” while Brett Ratner took over filmmaking duties on “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Several men have accused Singer of sexual assault, while various “X-Men” actors have called Singer unprofessional on set. High profile actors such as Olivia Munn, Elliot Page and Natasha Henstridge have alleged Ratner sexually harassed them and/or acted rudely toward them on set. Despite many actors coming out publicly against Singer and Ratner over the years, Romijn has never joined the chorus of voices. Why? She told The Independent in a new interview that she’s remained silent because she has nothing else to add on the topics.
