Lionsgate Explores AI for Content Adaptation and Production Efficiency
Summary Lionsgateis actively exploring artificial intelligence, specifically through a partnership withAIstartup Runway, to adapt existing content and streamline production, a move that could reshape how films are created and distributed. The studio inked a deal with AI startup Runway last September, marking Runway's first pact with a Hollywood studio. Michael Burns, Lionsgate's vice chairman, revealed toNew York Magazinethat the studio is experimenting with various AI applications. One significant potential use involves repackaging the studio's extensive library, allowing for adjustments in tone, format, and even rating. This could enable the creation of softer, kid-friendly cuts or even convert live-action films into animated versions. Burns stated that a live-action film could be transformed into a PG-13 anime version in just three hours. Burns notes that with the help of AI, the filmmaker can take their signature action franchises likeJohn Wickand theHunger Gamesand 'Now we can say, 'Do it in anime, make it PG-13.' Three hours later, I'll have the movie.' While the executive reiterates that actors will still be paid, this move means that ' I can do that, and now I can resell it.' Furthermore, AI could offer substantial cost savings in production. Burns cited an example where a complex shot involving '10,000 soldiers on a hillside with a bunch of horses in a snowstorm' could be generated by AI for approximately $10,000, avoiding a multi-million dollar shoot. This strategic integration of AI aims to enable the production of movies and television shows that would otherwise be financially unfeasible.

Disney Fails to Halt YouTube From Poaching Key Executive Ahead of Licensing Renewal Talks
Disney's bid to temporarily block YouTube's hiring of Justin Connolly in a newly created role as global head of media and sports has been denied. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant on Wednesday concluded that Disney is unlikely to prevail on claims that YouTube illegally poached Connolly in violation of his contract with the entertainment giant. More from The Hollywood Reporter Dhar Mann Studios Staffs Up With Media Veterans (Exclusive) 'Awards Chatter' Live Pod: Sean Evans on a Decade of 'Hot Ones,' Buying the Show From BuzzFeed and Interviewing Secrets YouTube Stays Atop TV Distributor Rankings in April Last month, Disney filed a lawsuit faulting YouTube for Connolly's defection to YouTube to spearhead its media and sports division. It sought a temporary restraining order to prevent him from starting at the Google-owned company, claiming that he could leak confidential information or trade secrets belonging to Disney ahead of a licensing renewal with YouTube. In a court filing, YouTube argued that the order Disney seeks for Connolly to return to the company against his will or quit his new position is prohibited under California law. It stressed that Disney knew for over six weeks that he intended to leave Disney to join YouTube, meaning there's no emergency for the court to issue a temporary restraining order. Connolly has been working for YouTube for roughly two weeks. In discussions, Disney maintained that Connolly couldn't work for YouTube because he had a three-year fixed term contract that hadn't expired, according to a court document. It offered to release him from his contract following the renegotiation of their licensing deal. 'We are disappointed in today's ruling, but will continue to pursue our legal remedies,' said a Disney spokesperson in a statement. YouTube declined to comment.
