Ben Affleck told you exactly what's coming and nobody caught it.
At the DealBook Summit, he was asked point blank: could Netflix use AI to create its own James Bond with completely synthetic actors?
His answer started safe. "That's not possible now."
"Highly unlikely" in the future, movies will be "one of the last things" replaced by AI.
Then he kept talking.
He said AI will "intermediate the more laborious, less creative, and more costly aspects of filmmaking."
That it will "bring costs down" and "lower the barrier to entry."
Then he said the quiet part out loud.
"I wouldn't like to be in the visual effects business."
They're in trouble and what costs a lot of money is now going to cost a lot less and it's going to hammer that space. And it already is."
He said "maybe it shouldn't take a thousand people to render something."
But he wasn't done.
He described a future where AI lets you get "two seasons of House of the Dragon in a year instead of one."
Where studios make more content with the same spend and fewer people.
Then he went further than any Hollywood insider has gone publicly.
He said AI will eventually let you pay $30 and order your own custom episode of Succession.
Pick the plot, the characters and AI builds it from the show's existing sets, actors, and footage.
"It'll be a little janky and a little bit weird," he said but it'll work.
He described consumers buying an "Iron Man pack" so they can look like Avengers characters on Twitch.
Licensed AI character packs replacing costumes and digital rights replacing DVDs.
This is not a man worried about AI.
This is a man who mapped out the entire business model.
And then he built a company to execute it.
Yesterday, Netflix bought that company.
It's called InterPositive and it trains AI on a film's own footage.
It does exactly what he described fills in the "expensive and burdensome" parts of production.
He told you AI can't write Shakespeare.
He told you it can't replace actors in a room.
He never told you it wouldn't replace the thousand people behind them.

Netflix just made the most DANGEROUS move in Hollywood. They didn't buy Warner Bros but instead bought something far more threatening. An AI company, built in secret and founded by one of Hollywood's own. Ben Affleck. The company is called InterPositive and you've never heard of it. And that was the point. Affleck quietly registered it under a shell company called Fin Bone LLC. He filed patents under his legal name. He built a proprietary AI dataset on a closed soundstage, all while making movies. Here's what InterPositive does. It takes the raw footage from a film shoot, the dailies and trains a custom AI model on it. That model can then relight scenes, reframe shots, remove stunt wires, fix missing angles, color correct entire films and add visual effects. Work that currently employs thousands of people in post production. Netflix now owns all of it, exclusively and no other studio gets access. Think about the timing. One week ago, Netflix walked away from an $83 billion bid to buy Warner Bros. Wall Street cheered and the stock jumped 14%. Days later, they quietly acquired the technology that could make traditional studios obsolete. They just bought Hollywood's replacement. And they made Ben Affleck an Oscar winner, a director, a guy people trust, the face of it. SAG-AFTRA's contract expires in June. AI is the single biggest issue on the table and the last fight over AI shut Hollywood down for months in 2023. And Netflix just acquired an AI production company, right before negotiations. They're calling it tools for filmmakers and they say it empowers storytellers. That's what they always say. The real question, how many jobs disappear when a machine can do in seconds what a VFX team does in weeks? Netflix won't answer that but the technology already did.

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.
We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.
