Late Night With the Devil Directors Explain the Use of AI Art Amid Backlash
25.03.2024 - 15:27 / comingsoon.net
The found footage horror film Late Night With the Devil was experiencing positive hype. The South By Southwest Festival-premiered film has 96% on Rotten Tomatoes calling it “delightfully dark” and praising its star David Dastmalchian. However, a new twist about AI art use has led to social media backlash, with its directors responding.
The Late Night With the Devil trailer showed fictional footage of a 1970s late-night show featuring a supposedly possessed girl. This attempt to boost ratings follows a series of horrific mind-blowing events. Speculations occurred from social media users about finding alleged AI images in the movie. Directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes cleared the air with Variety about the allegations.
“In conjunction with our amazing graphics and production design team, all of whom worked tirelessly to give this film the 70s aesthetic we had always imagined, we experimented with AI for three still images, which we edited further and ultimately appear as very brief interstitials in the film,” said the directors. “We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a talented and passionate cast, crew, and producing team go above and beyond to help bring this film to life. We can’t wait for everyone to see it for themselves this weekend.”

showed one of the AI images was of a skeleton dancing in the middle of a pumpkin patch. The post even went as far as to discourage others from seeing the found footage film.
for anyone doubting late night with the devil uses AI.
very disappointing to hear about this. don't support it. don't pay to watch it. pic.twitter.com/A9G8HQGz8j
AI art in film has been a testy subject ever since last year’s SAG-AFTRA Strike. The deal said that replicating an actor’s resemblance requires consent. AI use also “can’t be used to undermine a writer’s credit or separated rights.”
On March 19th, a Letterboxd review by user based gizmo felt knowing about the speculations of AI art in Late Night With the Devil would stop them from enjoying it.
“There’s AI all over this in the cutaways and ‘we’ll be right back’ network messages. For this reason, I can’t enjoy the amazing performances and clever ending.”
The review then continued to say they found it “insulting” to find “blatant AI” use in the 1970s-set film and how cinema shouldn’t accept this form of art. After that, low ratings were pouring in for the movie on the site. As conversations continued on X, users felt disappointed an artist wasn’t hired instead and threatened to skip the film altogether.

The Helldivers 2 community is a unique place, with more players boasting the ability to commit to the bit than perhaps anywhere else on the internet. It's not at all unusual to see fans refusing to communicate in any other way than with an unwavering patriotism towards Super Earth and a deep desire to spread Managed Democracy, essentially role-playing real-life Helldivers even outside the game.

PlayStation Wants "Nothing To Do With" The KOTOR Remake
You'd struggle to find a game right now more up in the air than the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that was first announced back in 2021, a project that has swapped developers multiple times since then and very few official updates on whether it will actually release at all. With all that uncertainty, fans no longer have confidence that it will even be a good game if it sees the light of day, and PlayStation maker Sony is apparently of the same mind.
