The upcoming film 'Watch the Skies' (also known as 'UFO Sweden') will introduce a unique approach to language in cinema, employing AI technology to dub Swedish dialogue into English without subtitles. This innovative technique allows for manipulation of the actors' mouths to match the English lines, while preserving the original cast's performances. The creators, including writer and director Victor Danell, emphasize their control over the creative process and the ethical implications, noting that all actors consented to this method, reflecting on previous criticism of AI in filmmaking.
Having seen a number of badly dubbed foreign films over the years, the idea of a more precise approach to that - and one that includes the original cast - certainly sounds preferable.
The invocation of AI in filmmaking terms has led many to bristle - which is entirely understandable. The Brutalist experienced a minor backlash earlier this year when it came to light that AI had been used to alter some dialogue spoken in Hungarian.
