Bitcoin biopic starring Casey Affleck to use AI to generate locations and tweak performances

Key Insights
What exactly does it mean for the film to use AI to 'generate locations' and 'tweak performances'?
AI will generate all backgrounds and scenery on a markerless performative capture stage, eliminating on-location shooting, while also adjusting actors' lip, facial, and body movements if needed to reduce reshoots, without replacing actors with AI-generated performers.[1]

Will 'Killing Satoshi' use AI to create entirely synthetic actors instead of real performers like Casey Affleck?
No, the film will not use AI-generated actors; producer Ryan Kavanaugh emphasized that AI is only a tool for efficiency in backgrounds and minor performance tweaks, protecting real actors' jobs.[1][2]
