Martin Scorsese implements artificial intelligence into film production. The famous director is collaborating with a startup in the field artificial intelligence Black Forest Labs is working on a new film.
What did Martin Scorsese say about collaborating with an artificial intelligence company?
Scorsese and Black Forest Labs announced the news in a video on the company's website. The director also discussed the potentially controversial move in an interview with The New York Times. Last year, Scorsese also signed a contract with the company as a partner and consultant.
Black Forest Labs is a research company focused on generative artificial intelligence, known for its FLUX image generation model. The announcement video shows the storyboarding process, with a director describing a scene generated using the FLUX.2 model. The video focuses on the use of AI tools in pre-production for tasks such as concept art and storyboarding.
«"I'm interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling and how it can expand the boundaries of creativity, creating deeper and richer experiences for audiences," Scorsese said in an interview with the NYT. "Remember, cinema is a young art form, only about 125 years old, so we have to be open to its continued evolution.".
«"I'm thrilled that someone like Martin Scorsese—one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time—is using our technology and showing interest in exploring it," said Robin Rombach, CEO of Black Forest Labs. "It's great proof that it works.".

«"Now, thanks to this tool, I can share my visualizations more clearly and effectively with my creative team—the production designer, the art director, and the cinematographer," Scorsese said of the image-creation tool.
Scorsese suggested that the introduction of AI-powered image generation would help reduce pre-production time. "In pre-production, time is money, and this allowed us to move faster without sacrificing quality or craftsmanship," he added.
It's unclear which of Scorsese's upcoming films will utilize AI technology. At the time of writing, the director has numerous projects in development, including "What Happens at Night," a crime film starring Dwayne Johnson, "The Life of Jesus," and others.
