Il Tempo: "Restare aperti alle trasformazioni". Scorsese rivela l'uso di AI
Martin Scorsese guarda ancora una volta avanti. Il regista premio Oscar ha scelto di sostenere Black Forest Labs, una start-up che sviluppa strumenti di generazione di immagini basati sull'intelligenza artificiale pensati per il cinema. In un comunicato diffuso dall'azienda, il cineasta spiega perché considera l'IA una tappa naturale nell'evoluzione del linguaggio filmico: "Il cinema è un mezzo giovane, ha appena 125 anni. Dobbiamo restare aperti a come può trasformarsi". Scorsese ricorda di aver già sperimentato tecnologie innovative in passato - dal 3D di "Hugo Cabret" al ringiovanimento digitale (de-aging) di "The Irishman" - e vede nell'IA un ulteriore strumento per rendere più immediata la comunicazione con il proprio team creativo: "Con questo mezzo posso mostrare in modo più chiaro ciò che immagino a scenografi, art director e direttori della fotografia, così che possano svilupparlo e arricchirlo". Il regista sottolinea però con fermezza che l'IA non sostituisce in alcun modo il lavoro creativo fondamentale di attori, sceneggiatori o della troupe. Scorsese ha anche realizzato un video di tre minuti insieme a Black Forest Labs, in cui racconta le difficoltà - e le possibilità - del suo processo creativo: "La domanda è sempre la stessa: come portare nella realtà le immagini che vedi nella tua testa? È come per un pittore davanti alla tela".
Scorsese non è l'unico grande autore a esplorare le possibilità dell'IA. Lo studio di Darren Aronofsky l'ha utilizzata per ricreare la Rivoluzione americana nella serie "On This Day… 1776", Steven Soderbergh l'ha impiegata per generare immagini nel documentario su John Lennon presentato all'ultima edizione del Festival di Cannes. L'attore Val Kilmer, morto nell'aprile 2025, apparirà nel film postumo "As Deep as the Grave" grazie a una ricostruzione digitale autorizzata prima della sua scomparsa. Anche Steven Spielberg ha riconosciuto che l'IA potrebbe "risparmiare molto lavoro preliminare", ad esempio nelle ricerche di location, pur ribadendo che deve restare "solo uno strumento nella cassetta degli attrezzi" e non avere "l'ultima parola su nulla di creativo".
Stay open to transformations. Scorsese reveals the use of AI
Martin Scorsese looks ahead once more. The Oscar-winning director has chosen to support Black Forest Labs, a start-up developing AI-powered image generation tools designed for cinema. In a statement released by the company, the filmmaker explains why he considers AI a natural step in the evolution of cinematic language: “Cinema is a young medium, it’s only 125 years old. We need to remain open to how it can transform.” Scorsese recalls having already experimented with innovative technologies in the past – from the 3D in “Hugo Cabret” to the digital de-aging in “The Irishman” – and sees in AI another tool for making communication with his creative team more immediate: “With this medium I can show more clearly what I imagine to set designers, art directors and cinematographers, so that they can develop and enrich it.” The director firmly emphasizes that AI does not, in any way, replace the fundamental creative work of actors, screenwriters or the crew. Scorsese has also created a three-minute video with Black Forest Labs, in which he recounts the difficulties – and the possibilities – of his creative process: “The question is always the same: how to bring the images you see in your head to life? It’s like for a painter in front of the canvas.”
Scorsese is not the only major author exploring the possibilities of AI. Darren Aronofsky’s studio has used it to recreate the American Revolution in the series “On This Day… 1776,” and Steven Soderbergh has employed it to generate images in the documentary on John Lennon presented at the last edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Actor Val Kilmer, who died in April 2025, will appear in the posthumous film “As Deep as the Grave” thanks to a digitally reconstructed version authorized before his disappearance. Steven Spielberg has also acknowledged that AI could “save a lot of preliminary work,” for example in location research, while reiterating that it must remain “only a tool in the toolbox” and not have “the final say on anything creative.”

Val Kilmer’s performance as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film “The Doors” is regarded as one of the most dedicated and transformative in rock biopic history. Kilmer immersed himself completely in the role, studying hours of footage, learning Morrison’s baritone singing style, and mimicking his mannerisms so accurately that the director, Oliver Stone, reportedly struggled to distinguish between Kilmer’s voice and Morrison’s in recordings. To embody Morrison’s physical changes over time, Kilmer adjusted his appearance by gaining weight, bleaching his hair, and portraying the evolution from the early charismatic “Lizard King” to Morrison’s later years in Paris. Remarkably, Kilmer performed all the singing himself, impressing even surviving members of The Doors with his vocal authenticity. While reviews for the film were mixed, Kilmer’s performance received near-universal acclaim, with many noting that his on-screen charisma rivaled or even surpassed that of Morrison himself. The depth of Kilmer’s transformation had a personal cost, requiring him to seek psychiatric assistance to detach from the intense identification with Morrison. Over time, he fully recovered from the psychological impact of inhabiting the legendary rock icon’s persona.

Given noise from nearby kickyball game going on, I've opted for some silly, 1980s nonsense viewing I can turn the volume up on, so it's 1984's Top Secret, an obvious attempt to cash in on the likes of Airplane!, but still a fun distraction (plus Val Kilmer, Michael Gough & Peter Cushing!)
