Overview
- In a new Vanity Fair interview relayed by Variety, Schrader said films will increasingly use generative tools and forecast a first fully AI-made feature in about two years.
- He said he has a screenplay he regards as a strong candidate for an all-AI production.
- Schrader called the technology "just a tool," comparing an author's descriptive code to digitally crafting faces and emotions.
- He argued AI already performs studio script coverage better than average readers and suggested it could soon write film reviews.
- Variety framed his comments alongside reports of an "AI actress" and an AI-directed film, while noting there is no confirmed, widely accepted fully AI-made mainstream feature yet.
