Grimes will appear in Gods Don’t Give Gifts, lending both her likeness and vocal performance to the AI-generated sci-fi anthology ahead of its Dec. 4 theatrical release.
Fable is billing the project as the first AI film to reach theaters, making the release a commercial test of whether AI-made movies can draw audiences beyond industry hype.
The studio said AI casting of performers' likenesses and voices could become more common in animated films, with actors, athletes and musicians appearing through synthetic production tools.
Directed by Jack London, known online as Gossip Goblin, the film follows four connected stories in a future where bodies are disposable and consciousness has been commoditized.
The release lands as Hollywood still lacks a widely praised AI storytelling breakthrough; earlier AI takes on The Odyssey, including one using Grok, drew weak reviews.
