This week’s entertainment report on KFI’s Gary and Shannon takes listeners inside Hollywood’s shifting landscape, where fall’s biggest films are hitting theaters just as artificial intelligence is reshaping the industry behind the scenes.
On the movie side, audiences can look forward to a packed slate of highly anticipated releases. Tron: Ares brings Disney’s neon-lit cyberworld back to life, Predator: Badlands puts a new spin on the legendary sci-fi hunter, and Guillermo del Toro returns to gothic fantasy with his reimagined Frankenstein. Fans of musicals will also be treated to Wicked for Good, a sweeping screen adaptation that revisits the untold story of Oz.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to blockbusters coming to theaters this fall. Each week, KFI’s Heather Brooker will break down what movies are worth your bucks at the box office.
But it’s not just the box office grabbing attention from the entertainment desk. Hollywood is buzzing about the rise of AI in film production. A company called Showrunner has announced plans to reconstruct 43 minutes of Orson Welles’ long-lost classic The Magnificent Ambersons using AI technology. The project blends live actors with machine learning techniques, sparking both excitement and controversy over how generative tools could alter filmmaking.
Together, these stories highlight a season where audiences can indulge in imaginative blockbusters while the industry itself experiments with bold and at times unsettling innovations.
