Grimes to Star in Gods Don’t Give Gifts, in Theaters December 4

The AI-generated animated film Gods Don’t Give Gifts is set for a theatrical release on December 4 and announces the participation of Grimes, who will lend both her voice and appearance. The production studio Fable describes an evolution in casting where voice performance and image combine, while previous attempts at AI in cinema remain limited.

A Claimed "First in Theaters" Against Previous Attempts

Gods Don’t Give Gifts is presented as the first AI-generated film to be released in theaters. Previous attempts have been made, including two adaptations of The Odyssey, one of which was created using Grok, Elon Musk's tool. Despite the interest generated by the potential of AI in Hollywood, no project has yet demonstrated that this technology is an essential narrative tool.

Release Date Set for December 4 and Trailer Already Available

The release of Gods Don’t Give Gifts is scheduled for December 4. A trailer for the film is already available. Grimes is announced as part of the cast and will provide both her voice and appearance for the film. The film is directed by Jack London, also known by the pseudonym Gossip Goblin.

Fable Bets on AI and a Voice+Appearance Casting

The AI studio Fable is producing this feature-length film generated by artificial intelligence. According to Fable, the combination of an actor's appearance and their voice performance is expected to become more common in animated films using AI, allowing actors, athletes, or musicians to appear on screen with their own voices. Gods Don’t Give Gifts takes the form of an anthology set in a future where bodies are disposable and consciousness is commodified, featuring four interconnected stories about the consequences of humanity's attempt to transcend flesh. These themes resonate with topics already explored by Grimes, who is also working on a thematic album about AI titled Psy Opera.
