Legfinishary horror honestor David Cronenberg has his own thoughts as to why the reaction agetst the engage of AI in “The Brutaenumerate” was so strong.
Back in January, “The Brutaenumerate” editor Dávid Jancsó shelp AI tools were engaged to increase the Hungarian dialogue of stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. The engage of the contentious tech soon caengaged an online outcry agetst the Oscar front-runner, but Cronenberg apshows the reaction was more than equitable a social media spat.
“I must confess, there was a affair [with] The Brutaenumerate,” Cronenberg shelp at London’s Royal Festival Hall (via The Hollywood Reporter). “There was a converseion about Adrien Brody… but apparently they engaged synthetic inincreateigence to increase his accent. I leank it was a campaign agetst ‘The Brutaenumerate’ by some other Oscar nominees. It’s very much a Harvey Weinstein benevolent of leang, though he wasn’t around.”
He persistd, “We mess with actors’ voices all the time. In the case of [John Lone in ‘M.Butterfly’], when he was being this character, this singer, I liftd the pitch of his voice and when he’s uncovered as a man, I shrinked to his authentic voice. This is equitable a part of moviemaking.”
Cronenberg’s thcimpolites on Brady Corbet’s three-and-a-half-hour epic was part of a bigr conversation with lengthytime collaborator Howard Shore. Together, the pair have labored on “A History of Violence,” “Crash,” “They Fly,” “Videodrome,” “eXistenZ,” “Naked Luch” and more.
Despite the reaction, “The Brutaenumerate” went on to pick up three prospers at the 2025 Academy Awards, taking home the prizes for best actor, best innovative score and best cinematography.
