- Killing Satoshi may use AI to adjust performances and create AI-assisted backgrounds on a markerless stage for the Pete Davidson project.
- Producers say AI is a tool to improve filmmaking efficiency while preserving actors' jobs, not to replace them.
- The casting notice indicates AI may be used to tweak performances without creating AI replicas of voices or likenesses without consent.
- The project is financed by Proxima in collaboration with Aperture Media Partners and is directed by Doug Liman with Nick Schenk writing the screenplay.
- Acting talent will be real performers; officials said no AI-generated actors will exist in the film.
- SAG-AFTRA and unions are negotiating on how synthetic performances may be used in future work amid the Kavanaugh-produced project.
- The film is expected to go into production in the United Kingdom, with casting notices seeking supporting actors for a late-February to March window.
- Killing Satoshi centers on the elusive Bitcoin creator Nakamoto and follows Davidson and Affleck in top billing.
- The film is part of a broader industry discourse on synthetic performances and actor protections amid ongoing labor talks.
- The director for Killing Satoshi is Doug Liman, with Dixie Chassay handling casting.
