Paul Schrader Says He Turned To AI Because “No Black Actors Wanted To Play In A Movie Where There Are No Good Black People”
Paul Schrader Says He Turned To AI Because “No Black Actors Wanted To Play In A Movie Where There Are No Good Black People”
Just days after Paul Schrader revealed that he plans to make his long-gestating crime noir “Three Guns At Dawn” entirely with AI-generated performers, the filmmaker has explained why he abandoned human actors in the first place. According to Schrader, Black actors rejected the original version because all three of its Black protagonists were criminals. His solution? Make the movie without them. Schrader has spent the past week gradually clarifying his plans for “Three Guns At Dawn.” As The Playlist previously reported, the filmmaker originally conceived the South Central Los Angeles noir around three Black brothers—a corrupt cop, a drug trafficker, and a third criminal—with Antoine Fuqua attached to produce.

If you're wondering what the actual crux of the article is, it's this. "The administration regularly sends the influencers memos on the mayor’s priorities" The mayor sends out press releases... That's it. That's where taxpayer money is going supposedly. On writing press releases. How terrible.
It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social · 5d ago"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."
Given the ominous reference to taxpayer funds, I expected what we usually see (& what I saw when I was going after public corruption): 1. Dodgy payments to outside media consultants for unclear services 2. Fake, no-show jobs for influencers 3. Bags of money to bribe journos None of that is here!
