The ongoing actors' strike has ground much of Hollywood to a halt – but some studios are carrying on with production regardless. This is possible for movies and shows filming outside of the US, especially if a project's cast isn't American and members of SAG-AFTRA, the union currently on strike.
Terminator creator James Cameron says AI isn't going to take over Hollywood but it might wipe out humanity: 'I warned you guys in 1984!'

Big-time film director James Cameron, the man who created what is arguably the most famous rise-of-the-machines scenario in Hollywood history, isn't worried about artificial intelligence taking over the film industry and putting thousands of people out of work. He is, however, a wee little bit concerned that it might wipe out human life as we know it.
AI is at the top of everyone's mind these days, particularly in relation to the film industry. The WGA—Writers Guild of America—and SAG-AFTRA—the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists—are both currently on strike in part because of the expectation that major film studios will increasingly look to use AI in creative endeavors in place of original writing and performances. It's an issue in the games industry, too: Myst studio Cyan Worlds, for instance, recently took heat for incorporating "AI assisted content" in its latest game, Firmament.
Cameron, however, doesn't think it's a problem, because in his mind the only question that matters is whether the story is good—and he doesn't believe AIs have that ability.
«I just don't personally believe that a disembodied mind that's just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said—about the life that they've had, about love, about lying, about fear, about mortality—and just put it all together into a word salad and then regurgitate it… I don't believe that's ever going to have something that's going to move an audience,» Cameron said in an interview with CTV News.
Despite that skepticism, he did allow for the possibility that it might happen someday, and if it ever does, he'd even be open to the possibility of using an AI-generated script.
«I certainly wouldn't be interested in having an AI

PlatinumGames co-founder, Bayonetta director and celebrated Twitter shoutyman Hideki Kamiya would like the "retro" game label to go out of fashion. His argument is that calling something "retro" is inherently condescending - each game has its own particular achievements and qualities that deserve to be understood in terms of more than just nostalgia cultivated by a novelty-driven industry.

Hogwarts Legacy sequel might be in the works
Hogwarts Legacy has only been out for about half a year, but Avalanche Software may already have a sequel for the RPG game planned. Set in the 1800s, Hogwarts Legacy takes the Wizarding World and its students back in time before the more contemporary setting of the Harry Potter series rolls around. It blends features fans looked forward to seeing in a Harry Potter game, but also lacks some bigger ones such as Quidditch. A job listing posted by Warner Bros. Games could point toward a sequel that has those missing elements, though.
