Gadot's AI-Generated Film Set Paves Way for Industry-Wide Shift
The Hollywood production of 'Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi' is making headlines for its innovative use of artificial intelligence in film-making. The thriller, starring Gal Gadot, has a $70 million budget and employed generative AI to create lighting and over 200 settings.
Actress Gal Gadot spent six months negotiating specific contractual clauses to shield her physical likeness against the use of generative tools. Her legal team worked closely with the SAG-AFTRA union to update labor protection standards across the industry.
The movie's production process was highly efficient, with continuous filming sessions of up to 10 hours without manual rigging of lights and physical set dressing. The cast filmed exclusively inside a former car dealership fitted with gray backdrops, saving more than $200 million compared to traditional shoots.
