the company that is home to franchises like John Wick and The Hunger Games could repackage one of its signature series as an anime, generated entirely by AI in a matter of hours, and resell it as a new movie
How would this have any demand, if someone likes John wick movies, they can just watch that. This isn’t like selling cars that adding more color options would get new audiences.
Do they really think there are people out there that want to watch John wick but it’s not anime enough for them?
Watching a different adaptation (like a movie from a book) is interesting cause of the new artistic take on the source material. AI wouldn’t do that, it would just “reskin” the same movie, which by definition would always be inferior in terms of fidelity and overall polish/quality.
I assume they figure with how cheap they can produce, they’ll still turn a profit. How long they can keep doing it before people stop showing up is another matter. EA sells the same sports game every year, just with an updated rosters and people still buy them.
That profitability is based on the artificially low cost of the tools being used. Even the highest level of paid account is losing these companies money.
I mean they are probably thinking down the line that these “themes” will be integrated into the media of the movie.
“Like oh did you know Movie X was actually made to be viewed with theme Y , Z, A or B and due to the animation changes the meaning changes. Direct C is a genius of our time.”

Sometimes EA forgets to update years in the game assets.
