Ridley Scott Wants to 'Embrace' AI (Specifically for Rhino Skin)

www.indiewire.com: The auteur behind the upomcing “Gladiator 2” told Empire that he believes Hollywood has to “embrace” AI, especially given how necessary the technology has become in post-production and special effects. For a particular scene in “Gladiator 2” where Paul Mescal’s character battles a rhino, Scott said his team built an “eight-wheeled, digitally driven” rhino that is plastic and practical. Mescal, per Empire, was even able to climb aboard, and the beast down to its skin and shape looks terrific.
