    London Premiere of AI-Generated Movie “The Last Screenwriter” Cancelled After Backlash

    In an unprecedented move, the Prince Charles Cinema in London's West End has cancelled the world premiere of "The Last Screenwriter," a film with a script generated entirely by artificial intelligence (AI). The decision came after a wave of complaints from patrons and industry professionals who expressed strong concerns about the use of AI in the creative process.

    The Premise of “The Last Screenwriter”

    Directed by Swiss filmmaker Peter Luisi and starring Nicholas Pople, “The Last Screenwriter” explores the story of Jack, a celebrated screenwriter whose life is upended when he encounters an AI scriptwriting system. The AI, credited as ChatGPT 4.0, not only matches Jack’s skills but surpasses him in empathy and understanding of human emotions. This intriguing premise aims to examine the potential and limitations of AI in creative fields.

    Controversy and Cancellation

    The Prince Charles Cinema announced the cancellation on social media, citing the overwhelming negative feedback they received within 24 hours of advertising the film. The cinema’s statement read: “The feedback we received over the last 24hrs once we advertised the film has highlighted the strong concern held by many of our audience on the use of AI in place of a writer which speaks to a wider issue within the industry.”

    Peter Luisi revealed that the cancellation followed 200 complaints, reflecting a broader anxiety about the role of AI in the film industry. Despite this setback, Luisi emphasized that the film was intended as a contribution to the ongoing debate about AI, not as a replacement for human creativity.

    The use of AI in film is a contentious issue, underscored by last year’s Hollywood writers’ strike, which sought protections against the unchecked integration of AI tools in writing. While the strike resulted in agreements ensuring writers would always receive credit, the concern remains pervasive. High-profile incidents, such as Scarlett Johansson’s complaint over the unauthorized use of her voice by an AI, further highlight the unease surrounding AI’s impact on creative professions.


    The Director’s Perspective

    Luisi expressed disappointment over the cancellation, noting that the backlash might stem from a misunderstanding of the project. He stated, “I think people don’t know enough about the project. All they hear is ‘first film written entirely by AI’ and they immediately see the enemy, and their anger goes towards us.”

    Luisi defended the film as an experiment to test the capabilities of AI in scriptwriting, rather than an endorsement of replacing human writers. He mentioned that the film would still have a private screening for the cast and crew and would be released online for free on July 11.


    Future of AI in Screenwriting

    The backlash against “The Last Screenwriter” underscores the broader apprehension about AI’s role in creative industries. While AI has the potential to assist in generating content, the fear is that it might one day replace human creativity entirely. This concern is not unfounded, as AI tools become increasingly sophisticated, capable of producing complex narratives and imitating human emotions.

    However, Luisi remains hopeful that his film can contribute positively to the discourse. He plans to release the screenplay and documentation detailing the AI’s involvement in the writing process, aiming to foster a more informed discussion about the capabilities and limitations of AI in creative fields.

    “The Last Screenwriter” was promoted as the world’s first feature film written entirely by an AI.

    The cancellation of “The Last Screenwriter” premiere at the Prince Charles Cinema highlights the ongoing tension between technological advancement and human creativity. As AI continues to evolve, the film industry must navigate the delicate balance of embracing innovation while safeguarding the unique value of human artistry. Luisi’s film, despite its controversial reception, serves as a crucial part of this conversation, challenging us to consider the future of storytelling in an increasingly automated world.
