AMC to Premiere Swedish Sci-Fi Film Using AI-Powered Visual Dubbing

The groundbreaking technology by Flawless AI adjusts actors' lip movements to match English dialogue, debuting in 100 U.S. theaters on May 9, 2025.

  • Flawless AI's 'TrueSync' technology modifies actors' lip movements to align with English dialogue recorded by the original Swedish cast.
  • The film, 'Watch the Skies,' follows a teenager searching for her missing father, believed to have been abducted by aliens.
  • The use of AI-powered visual dubbing complies with SAG-AFTRA rules, as actors gave consent and recorded the English dialogue themselves.
  • AMC Theatres will screen the film in 100 U.S. locations, aiming to attract audiences resistant to subtitles or traditional dubbing.
  • While praised for its innovation and potential to expand global film accessibility, the technology has raised concerns about cultural authenticity and artistic integrity.
