Brightburn 2 is coming out, but an issue about AI is causing a huge row in Hollywood and beyond.
The first film offered a unique twist on the superhero genre.
It presented a chilling and unsettling narrative that explored the darker aspects of superhuman abilities.
If you’re a fan of superhero stories with a darker, horror-infused twist Brightburn may be worth checking out.
The film earned around $33 million on a reported $6 million budget, not a bad return.

So why all the fury about the sequel?
The production company “intends to incorporate new technology into the production process of projects it has in development, including a sequel to horror movie Brightburn.”
According to Deadline, The H Collective, the production company, has always been known for its innovative approaches to filmmaking.
In a nutshell they are using aspects of AI to write the film.
It is not a great look as writers and actors are continuing to strike against the use of AI, creeping into the industry.
So is the sequel such a divisive issue or just simply where the industry (and the world is going)?
Using CGI in films never got this backlash though, as the power of AI is quite scary.
But can AI truly capture the emotions that make a story resonate with audiences?
Only time will tell….unless the strike never ends.
