AI actor Tilly Norwood set to star in first feature film - CBS News

Particle6, a production company, has announced that Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actor, will star in a feature film titled 'Misaligned.' The film is described as the first feature-length motion picture to feature an AI-generated actor in a leading role. Tilly Norwood was created using generative AI technology, and her performance is entirely synthetic.

The plot of 'Misaligned' revolves around Tilly developing 'shame that her very being has been built on the whole of humanity,' according to the film's promotional materials. Particle6 has not disclosed the full budget of the project, nor whether any human actors appear in supporting roles. The company stated that the decision to use an AI actor allows for 'unprecedented creative control and consistency.'

The release date for 'Misaligned' has not been announced. The project has drawn attention from industry observers as an early example of AI-generated performers being used in a major narrative film, rather than in short-form or background roles. Some film unions have previously expressed concerns about the displacement of human actors by AI-generated replacements.
