“American History X” director Tony Kaye is hoping to cast an
artificial intelligent (AI) “actor” as the lead of his next film,
“2nd Born”,
Deadline reports.
The idea to cast a robot in a lead role is a joint effort between
the British filmmaker and producer Sam Khoze.
Kaye hopes to train the robot in various techniques and acting
methods and hopes the role will lead to recognition by the Screen
Actors Guild and awards consideration.
The reason behind casting AI instead of a human actor is that
Kaye didn’t want to relay on makeup or computer-generated effects
as films have in the past.
“2nd Born” is a sequel to the comedy “1st Born”, which stars Val
Kilmer and Denise Richards and centers around a married couple’s
first pregnancy.
Directed by Ali Atshani, “1st Born” is set to be released later
this year, and the majority of the cast is expected to return for
the sequel.
Kaye was not attached to the first film and it remains unclear
what role a robot will play in the sequel.
The filmmaker’s other directional credits include the drama
“Detachment” and the acclaimed abortion documentary “Lake of
Fire.”
His debut as a director was 1998’s “American History X”, but he
asked to be taken off the credits after disagreements over the
final cuts of the film, according to
The Guardian.
