As the advancement of technology continues to replace the need for human labor, American History X director Tony Kaye is undertaking a new — and maybe controversial — step in filmmaking by employing an Artificial Intelligent (A.I.) actor as the lead in his next film, 2nd Born.
Unlike Robin Williams’ 1999 film Bicentennial Man or the Steven Spielberg-directed A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Kaye is aiming to cast a real robot, who will be trained in different acting methods and techniques. The idea, which originated from Kaye and producer Sam Khoze, is to forgo the use of computer-generated effects in favor of a physical A.I. robot as an actor, who they are hoping will get SAG recognition.
2nd Born is the sequel to 1st Born, an indie comedy directed by Ali Atshani and starring Val Kilmer, Tom Berenger, Greg Grunberg, Jay Abdo, Taylor Cole, Reza Sixo Safai, William Baldwin, Denise Richards and Robert Knepper.
The pic, which will be released by Lotus Entertainment this year, centers on a young married couple, Iranian born Ben (Safai) and American Kate, whose complicated first pregnancy forces their extended family, from differing backgrounds, to find common ground for the sake of the baby
Several of the original cast members are expected to return for the next installment. 2nd Born is being produced by LIFE Entertainment with Khoze and Patrick McErlean.
Kaye’s other directorial credits include Black Water Transit and Detachment.
Just wait until they unionize.
I suspect they will digitally reproduce dead stars and have them act in movies as if they were alive. Humphry Bogart and John Wayne star in, “I married another man.”
And it ends. He will end up spending millions on a toy that will be no better than the Hall of Presidents at Disney, and it will never be tried again.
CGI is far superior and cheaper for film.
Now, if you want to talk about the Broadway version...
Well, considering what I hear about millennial actors....May be an improvement.
But is it LGBTQIA?
I dont know. He was actually good in Jumper. Maybe because I think SW sucks nowadays..
According to the left’s new rules, he should only be allowed to play a robot
Will it have to join SAG?
So, instead of an actor/actress getting paid to work, someone building and controlling a robot will get paid. I’m sure that will sit well with the various actors’ unions and agents.

TWILIGHT ZONE “In His Image”. 1963.
When they want robotic acting, they typically cast Jennifer Lawrence.
LOL
I thought ALL actors were ‘bots; GIGO! ;)
LOL! You so funny! :)
I predict it will win any Oscar it may be eligible for.
The prototype of the robot is still a better actor
than Ben Affleck.
Which bathroom does it use?
