Jeremy Renner to Narrate AI-Made Animated Feature ‘Stardust Future’ Set for November Release

Producers describe a fully AI production using a proprietary 2D–3D animation workflow.

Overview

  • The November theatrical release reunites Renner with filmmaker Yi Zhou and marks his return to voice work after his 2023 snowplow accident.
  • Makers say the film was created entirely with AI through a proprietary blend of 2D and 3D techniques they contend no previous feature has used.
  • Into the Sun Entertainment plans an Oscar campaign targeting animated feature, original score, original song, sound, film editing and visual effects.
  • A portion of revenue is designated for Renner’s Rennervation Foundation and the Motion Picture and Television Fund.
  • The project cites influences from Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass, features a 3D rendering of Diane von Fürstenberg, and pairs Zhou’s compositions with Ennio Morricone music rearranged by the Into the Sun Collective.
