Danny Boyle said in a Vanity Fair interview that he used generative AI for about 30 seconds of his new film Ink to animate a few old photographs and some mice, a choice he framed as a practical tool for animal work. Ink, adapted from James Graham's play about the launch of The Sun and starring Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce, premiered to rave notices at Venice. Boyle emphasized respectful use and paying actors if AI replaces them, while social media noted alleged AI reanimation of images of the Kray Twins and Margaret Thatcher.
