If you’ve been following AI’s inroads into the movie biz, you’ll already know that Tilly Norwood is the AI “actor” that the tech-focused studio Particle 6 keeps trying to make into a thing, but has so far only succeeded in universally infuriating actual performers, not to mention moviegoers.
Now, it’s taking its biggest gamble yet by having Tilly Norwood lead her own movie, Particle 6 announced Monday — which will surely be what finally catapults her to bona fide star status, after that sorry attempt at a music video.
Called “Misaligned,” the movie will be a feature length “coming-of-age story infused with existential AI chaos.” (No commentary necessary.) It will be set inside the “Tillyverse,” which Variety describes in its coverage as a “surreal digital world located somewhere up in the Cloud,” and follows “Tilly,” an AI entity that has no real body or experiences. The story kicks off when a rogue bot convinces her to drop her guardrails and start developing human feelings. All very meta, isn’t it?
Though it’s being touted as Particle 6’s AI feature film, the studio insists that it’s a “hybrid production” that will have human writers, directors and editors.
