Gadot Defends Role in Bitcoin Movie Amid AI Backlash
Gal Gadot has come under fire for starring in Doug Liman's upcoming movie Bitcoin, which uses AI to create production design elements. The film follows a man's quest to prove he created Bitcoin, putting his life in peril and sparking a high-stakes race between tech billionaires and world leaders.
The movie was filmed on a 'markerless performative capture stage,' with Liman using AI technology to create sets and lighting at a significantly lower budget of $70 million compared to the estimated range of $200-300 million.
Gadot defended her decision to star in the film, stating that she was aware of the AI component and took precautions to protect her performance. She emphasized that while she has concerns about AI, she chose to work with it and learn from the experience.
