Tom Holland Reacts To Speculations That He Might Be Playing James Bond
Last Updated: Tom Holland said playing James Bond would be the "pinnacle" of his career. Taron Egerton dismissed being 007, saying he's "too messy." Sydney Sweeney might be the next Bond girl. Tom Holland has admitted playing James Bond would be the 'pinnacle" of his career. The Spider-Man star is said to be in the frame to portray the suave spy in Denis Villeneuve's upcoming movie in the franchise and while the 29-year-old actor refused to be drawn on the speculation, he suggested landing the role would be a dream come true.' Speaking to Gordon Ramsay on YouTube, he said of the rumours. 'Listen, there's speculation at the moment. We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day." The Hell's Kitchen star then further pressed Tom on the issue. He said, 'Can you imagine what's going to happen to your life if you do? First of all, you'd love that opportunity, right?" Tom replied, 'I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could not have dreamed to have the career that I have." The Devil All the Time actor's comments come shortly after Rocketman star Taron Egerton dismissed the idea he could replace Daniel Craig as 007 because he is 'too messy". Asked about the possibility of playing Bond, he told Collider, 'I don't think I'm a good choice for it. I think I'm too messy for that. I think I'm not— I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig's tenure. But I think I wouldn't be good at it, and I think there's so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it. I think it would be wasted on me, probably." Taron observed that leading the Bond franchise is 'quite an undertaking". And he suggested that the scale of the project might not suit him, either. The 35-year-old actor explained, 'That's not to say that I don't have aspirations and plans and also that I wouldn't be interested in doing something that's more commercial, because of course I would. I think I'm a period in my life where, as you say, I've been probably following the things that speak to me on a creative level a little bit more, but, you know, I'm sure I won't feel that way forever. But James Bond is quite an undertaking and I think, one, as far as I'm aware, nobody's asking me to do it." Taron suggested that he might find more satisfaction in pursuing other film projects. He said, 'It's possibly not quite the thing that would make me happiest. I do think it's a big old undertaking, it kind of consumes your life, a role like that." Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney is reportedly being lined up to play the next Bond girl. The 27-year-old actress is wanted by new 007 director Denis Villeneuve for a role in the upcoming film and the move is said to have the backing of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, with the company acquiring creative control of the spy franchise from long-serving producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper, 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise. They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise. Plus Sydney has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of the Bond girls."

What is Showrunner, the AI that can generate entire episodes of TV shows?
As the world is coming to terms with AI generating a few seconds of realistic videos, Amazon has just invested in a company that has a system that can generate entire 22-minute-long TV shows. The company Fable Studio has introduced a platform called Showrunner, which is capable of generating entire episodes with coherent plots, character development, and dialogue that sounds similar to any popular show. Showrunner is essentially the first streaming platform for AI-generated shows. Subscribers of the platform are able to watch AI-generated series and also create their own content. They will have complete control over dialogues, characters, and camera angles. As of now, Showrunner is limited to animation and cannot yet create live-action shots. The AI platform has been created by San Francisco-based startup Fable Studio. The Emmy-winning company's platform can write, voice, and animate episodes of its shows with generative AI. Users can create videos by simply using prompts in natural language. Reportedly, upon its initial release, users will be able to watch and create AI content. The Showrunner system uses something known as a multi-agent simulation that brings AI characters to life and lets them interact and develop relationships over time. Reportedly, users can insert themselves as South Park characters and become a part of the story. To generate a video episode, users simply need to write simple prompts that include the title and the main plotline. Reportedly, the characters generated through the platform show consistent personalities and are capable of remembering past interactions. Some reports claim that each episode takes nearly three hours of simulation time to generate. The company had conducted a closed alpha test with over 10,000 users for months before it was launched. In order to use Showrunner, users are required to sign in to the Discord group chat platform. It is reported that initially, Showrunner will be free to use; however, Fable will gradually begin charging creators about $10 to $20 per month, which will allow them credits to create about hundreds of TV scenes. Meanwhile, viewing this AI-generated content will be free, and users or anyone can share it on YouTube or other platforms. The new platform signals a shift in video generation with AI, as several other companies, such as Runway, DecartAI, Pika Labs, Odyssey, World Labs, and Google's Veo 3 and Genie 2, are paving the way for newer and more advanced video creations. Amazon's investment in Fable comes at a time when there is a raging debate about using AI to alter the endings of films and television shows. Recently, Bollywood filmmaker Anand L. Rai expressed his displeasure with the AI-altered ending of his 2013 hit 'Raanjhanaa.' The production house has offered an AI-assisted happy ending to the original story. 'AI is the future. Everybody knows that. But then use it for the future or for the present. Don't use it to distort the past!' Rai told in a statement to The Indian Express. This type of tech signals a new wave where users will be able to create personalised entertainment experiences with simple prompts. It seems we are moving into a space where all kinds of content will be created using AI customised to their personal preferences. Users will be able to generate episodes where they are the protagonists and have storylines tailored to their interests. Also, if this technology is to make rapid strides, the entertainment industry is likely to take a massive hit.
