20 Upcoming Movies You Won't Believe Are Real

Hollywood is firmly in the midst of reckoning with how AI will be used in not only post-production but the on-set filmmaking process itself, and one of the most peculiar AI-centric experiments to date is Bitcoin - a new conspiracy thriller from Doug Liman.
Liman's film is centered around the secret identity of bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, with a cast led by Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, Gal Gadot, and Isla Fisher.
AI is being used to generate all of the film's sets and reportedly even adjust performances in post-production, such as having actors who are playing the likes of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Eric Trump better resemble their real-life selves.
Whether the final film turns out good or not - and, frankly, it's tough to have much faith - on paper it seems like such a bizarre, soulless, uninspired way to make a movie.
