Hideo Kojima and Nicolas Winding Refn are working with Prada on a short film to be shown as part of Prada’s Mode event in New York from June 3 to 7. The six-minute AI-generated piece stars Winding Refn and Kojima as space travelers who move through a loosely connected sci-fi dreamscape. The film ends at the Chelsea Hotel, which is tied to the upcoming Prada event. A teaser released by Winding Refn shows a nostalgic 1950s sci-fi aesthetic. The project is described as an artistic experiment and a playful exploration of new creative possibilities using AI technology. Kojima has previously suggested AI will be as significant to game development as the shift to 3D.
"Throughout our extended friendship, Hideo Kojima and I have shared the feeling that we were somehow split from the same consciousness moving through different lives while orbiting the same obsessions. That idea became the spark for a film: a space odyssey following us as we traverse a sci-fi dreamscape. Created in collaboration with Prada, the project is both an artistic experiment and a playful exploration of new creative possibilities through AI technology."
"The short film is part of Prada's upcoming Mode event taking place in New York from June 3 to 7, and it "stars" Winding Refn and Kojima as space travelers doing things that barely cohere as a story and eventually ending up at the Chelsea Hotel where the Prada event will take place next month. Winding Refn released a short teaser of the full six-minute video, and it's more than enough to see that it's a nostalgia play desperately clinging to the aesthetic of '50s sci-fi movies, and also looks like shit."
"Gross. Looking at it, I'm somewhat surprised Kojima signed off on the short film considering how awkward and stilted it looks, but he has gone on record as saying he thinks AI will be just as significant to game development as the jump to 3D was, and that he thinks of the plagiarism machine as so maybe this passes the smell test for h"
