Warner Bros , which nearly 20 years ago released A.I. Artificial Intelligence , is bringing futuristic tech tools into its international operations, enlisting a customized AI platform recently introduced by L.A. tech firm Cinelytic . The companies announced an agreement Wednesday during CES in Las Vegas, where WarnerMedia has a significant presence this year. It is leveraging HBO’s Westworld to plant a flag at the tech confab. Two of its top executives spoke Tuesday about the May launch of streaming service HBO Max. The arrangement is a trial run and only involves the international side of the studio, with the domestic teams not yet connected to Cinelytic. While the official announcement said the system would be used “throughout the content value chain,” studio sources emphasized that distribution data is the focus, not giving studio brass some kind of robot development squad.

It is not a hidden fact that the advent of the pandemic last year had severely affected the theatres and the majority of the movies saw their releases on the OTT streaming platforms. However, many filmmakers are now choosing to release their movies in the theatres with the pandemic scenario normalizing. However, that does not seem to be the case for Farhan Akhtar's upcoming film Toofan which will be releasing on Amazon Prime, skipping a theatrical release. A source close to the film revealed to Bollywood Hungama about the same. It revealed that Toofan was slated to release in September last year. However, the release of the movie was stalled due to the pandemic situation. The source added that it is indeed a surprise that filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has opted to release the film on an OTT platform rather than in the theatres. The source said that it is confirmed that the film will be released directly on Amazon Prime Video.

The response to the recently released Mortal Kombat trailer has been monumental, with the footage even surpassing the likes of Logan and Deadpool to become the most watched red band trailer of all time. The tone and brutal violence looks to be adapting the games very well, but producer Todd Garner has now arrived to put a slight dampener on things, warning fans not to get their hopes up too high when it comes to a beloved Mortal Kombat staple: Fatalities. According to Garner, the problem with Fatalities and translating them from the video game series to the big screen, is simply that the Motion Picture Association of America is not going to let them get away with some of the more ridiculously graphic violence.

Sara Nelson believes in solidarity: When she speaks, she talks about collectivity, of worker power, of bread and roses. As the head of the American Flight Attendants, Nelson, who started working as a flight attendant for United Airlines in 1996, can wield strength in numbers — the union represents over 50,000 workers at 20 different airlines. During the Trump era, it meant standing up to the former president on immigrant family separation and the 2019 federal government shutdown . Under a new administration, Nelson is looking to a brighter labor future in America, as she believes the movement will capitalize on autoworkers’ and teachers’ strike victories, and an evolving sense of urgency among the working class.
