Overview

• Dolan said two uncredited background faces were briefly replaced with his and David Zaslav’s via AI as an Easter egg.
• Producers and Google detailed the use of Imagen, Veo and Gemini to super‑resolve frames, outpaint beyond the original image, and generate missing visual elements from archival materials.
• The 160,000‑square‑foot, roughly 16K LED dome pairs imagery with wind effects, haptic seating and a 167,000‑speaker system for a location‑bound experience.
• Dolan acknowledged spending approaching $100 million after budget overruns and said the presentation is intended to run for years at Sphere venues worldwide.
• Early pushback from parts of the film community followed preview clips and reports about AI use, while producers stressed licensed training data, consultations with descendants and that the original film remains available.
