Summary
Particle 6 said Monday it will make “Misaligned,” a feature-length film built entirely with AI tools and starring virtual actress Tilly Norwood in what could become her first major screen role.
The studio framed the project as a test of AI-human collaboration, saying human writers, technicians and actors will still shape the film and that substantial human judgment is central to the process.
Distribution and timing remain unsettled, with a spokesperson saying it is too early to say whether the film will go to theaters or streaming or when it might be released.
The announcement lands amid industry resistance to generative AI, with Hollywood unions and actors including Scarlett Johansson and Cate Blanchett demanding limits on AI use and protection for copyrighted work.
As AI like Tilly Norwood takes the lead, who truly owns the future of cinematic storytelling: humans or algorithms?
