2025 年 12 月 15 日（GMT+8 晚上 7:30），导演提穆尔·贝克曼贝托夫（64 岁）在完成《Mercy》的同时，启动了一部几乎由生成式 AI 制作的新片。他把 AI 的瑕疵与幻觉转化为《破碎世界的人》的叙事逻辑。一个原本可能耗资约 1.5 亿美元、动员数百人的版本，现在只用 1 名演员与精简剧组、以远低于原预算的成本做成概念验证。

好莱坞在技术试验与劳动反弹之间分裂。亚马逊甚至禁止《Mercy》（预计 1 月上映）使用 AI，尽管剧情包含 AI 法官，且主角必须在 90 分钟内证明清白。2023 年因 AI 担忧而持续数月的罢工后，关键合约将于 2026 年再度到期；同时，高层用 ChatGPT 做剧本分析与行销协作，但从业者担心 AI 会带来裁员。

军备竞赛在迪士尼投资 10 亿美元并取得 OpenAI Sora 授权后加速；OpenAI 也在 10 月推出 Sora 2，并在业界抗议后改为名人与 IP 持有人必须选择加入（opt-in）。Netflix 提到用 AI 进行角色「回春」，亚马逊成立效率团队，迪士尼预告让粉丝生成公主与超级英雄影片，暗示制作成本与时间正在被大幅压缩，类似智慧手机让摄影普及的趋势。艺人与律师开始要求数位分身条款；也有人（如马修·麦康纳）与 ElevenLabs 合作复制声音，把它当成新的授权收入来源。

On Dec 15, 2025 (7:30 PM GMT+8), director Timur Bekmambetov (64) began an AI-generated film alongside finishing Mercy. He reframed AI glitches and hallucinations as story logic for The Man With a Shattered World. A version that might have cost about $150 million and employed hundreds was prototyped with 1 actor and a skeleton crew—at a fraction of the budget.

Studios are split between experimentation and labor backlash. Amazon barred AI use on Mercy (due in January) even though its plot includes an AI judge and a 90-minute race to prove innocence. After months-long 2023 strikes driven partly by AI fears, major contracts renew in 2026; meanwhile, executives use ChatGPT for scripts and marketing, while workers fear job cuts.

The arms race accelerated when Disney invested $1 billion and licensed OpenAI’s Sora; OpenAI also shipped Sora 2 in October, then shifted to celebrity/IP opt-in after an industry uproar. Netflix cites AI de-aging, Amazon formed an efficiency team, and Disney teases fan-made character videos—signaling cost/time compression similar to how smartphones democratized cameras. Talent now pushes clauses for digital replicas; some, like Matthew McConaughey, are even cloning voices with ElevenLabs as a new revenue stream.
