So here we are, folks—George Miller is stirring the pot again, this time with AI and cinema colliding in a way that might just raise a few hackles among die-hard Mad Max fans. Anya Taylor-Joy nailed it in Furiosa, no doubt, but Miller’s flirtation with AI—melding faces and bridging time like some digital wizard out of a sci-fi flick—makes you wonder if he’s secretly wishing for a Tilly Norwood-type star, born straight from code. And hey, with Mercury still in retrograde confusing communication everywhere, maybe it’s the perfect cosmic chaos to wrestle with the blend of human creativity and silicon smarts. Miller’s not just dipping a toe; he’s diving headfirst, even chairing a panel at the upcoming Omin International AI Film Festival, preaching egalitarian storytelling that anyone with a dream—and a keyboard—can join. But as AI barrels forward faster than a comet on caffeine, can it really keep that creative spark alive, or are filmmakers just one command away from lazy shortcuts? It’s the ultimate clash of old-school artistry vs. new tech magic—so, what do you think? Is George Miller onto something revolutionary, or is he taking a wrong turn down an AI rabbit hole? LEARN MORE.
Anya Taylor-Joy crushed it taking over for Charlize Theron in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, but one has to wonder if director George Miller may have liked someone more along the lines of a Tilly Norwood. We knew George Miller was a proponent of AI – having used the technology for Furiosa, blending the faces of Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne to bridge the character aging throughout – but now he is driving down that road in a way that will probably fill his fans with fury.
Speaking with The Guardian, George Miller said, “AI is arguably the most dynamically evolving tool in making moving image. As a film-maker, I’ve always been driven by the tools. AI is here to stay and change things…It’s the balance between human creativity and machine capability, that’s what the debate and the anxiety is about. It strikes me how this debate echoes earlier moments in art history,” particularly citing the Renaissance, hitting on the point that artistry evolves with the times.
To show his support for it, George Miller will be leading the judging panel at November’s Omin International AI Film Festival, an Australia-based fest devoted solely to the use of artificial intelligence in cinema. Such festivals, to Miller, will offer equal opportunities who want to tell stories but may not have the means. “It will make screen storytelling available to anyone who has a calling to it. I know kids not yet in their teens using AI. They don’t have to raise money. They’re making films – or at least putting footage together. It’s way more egalitarian.”
Admittedly, we know George Miller is correct when he says that AI is here to stay. And while that may be scary enough for a lot of those in the industry, that it is advancing at such a rapid rate is far more concerning. Look, Miller utilized it fairly effectively in Furiosa, so we know it can be incorporated in useful manners on the big screen (although some may object to him using it over, say, traditional makeup). But the matter for many will come down to filmmakers relying on it as a shortcut and tool to completely disregard creativity. Because let’s face it, there’s no creativity in typing, Make actor look younger.
What are your thoughts on George Miller’s perspective on AI? Does he raise valid points or is he on the wrong side of the road?
