jjrusso664: The thing that irritates me the most about gen AI is the ENTITLEMENT behind it. AI prompt generators feel entitled to the years of hard work from creatives and it's honestly just mind blowing. They feel entitled to others creative labor, they are too lazy to put in any effort themselves, and then they use that stolen creative labor as a just another grift and insist on being called "artists" as if they aren't just another grifter.

xenolith5032: If we don't get an Alexander popcorn bucket at the Elden Ring movie that will be a generational fumble

astevenswrites: Just want to say I appreciate your continued stance on AI in the creative space. As an author who's poured so much into just my debut, I FULLY appreciate your take on how atrocious this kind of blatant stealing is. It's unfortunate it just keeps happening. Support REAL writers, support REAL artists, support all creatives who are saying no to AI or only using it to enhance their creativity/productivity, not replace it.

sono_chi_no_sodium_chlorid7635: Cant wait for Pedro Pascal to play in Elden Ring

R1v0rian: The fact that you can barely see anything in that GoT scene makes the story about the stunt performer all the more tragic. They put them through all those unsafe practices for basically nothing in the final product.

stijndeboer3798: A week without Fantasy News is a week without Fantasy News

FelipeKana1: Stunt actors should have their oscar category

simonjohansson248: Fantasy cinema needs to head more in the direction of The Northman and Green knight!

aesra5538: Thank you for the AI vs. Art rant!

LB_Lit: How does the use of Ai effect readers trust in self published authors? Are we potentially seeing the beginning of the reading community regressing back to the big 5, even before the self published space was able to acquire a true seat at the table?

Upsilon1984: I hope the Elden Ring movie takes place before the shattering of the ring and the demi god wars

robertgronewold3326: The one thing I really hope for with the Elden Ring film is that they don't try to adapt the actual game, but just set a story in that world. Also, please give us our big pot boy.

mattdeancole: Alex Garland also has the zombie movie, 28 Years Later, coming out later this year. He directed the previous two films in that series.

Aforgamon: Games Workshop can afford to shower their employees with bonuses because they've been screwing over their customers with absurd price hikes for years...

Morroh: Don’t forget Alex garland wrote the screen play for 28 days later and the novel “The Beach” that eventually got turned into a movie by Danny Boyle (Train Spotting, 28 days later). Dude has massive writing and directing chops, it’s not always for everyone but it’s wild he’s directing the fuckin Elden Ring movie.

tindwyl: Why are so many people talking about an Elden Ring movie as if it's going to be based on the present day content of the game, rather than a film that takes place in the past? Like, a story that takes place during or before The Shattering makes the most sense.

lady_draguliana784: ER could keep the deaths and treat it a bit like Edge of Tomorrow (minus the time loop). that, or they could go with a no-hit-run method!

also, i want a cameo from LetMeSoloThem!

JeremyConder: And the stunt award goes too.......Tom Cruise for *Insert Movie Here*

DragonHeart613: Hey Daniel, do you think there's a chance that another streaming service like HBO Max, Hulu or Netflix could pick up The Wheel of Time? It's completely insane that Wheel of Time gets canceled despite a very well-received 3rd Season while the non-stop trainwreck known as Rings of Power is practically guarenteed 3 more seasons despite each previous season having fewer & fewer viewers and being ridiculed endlessly. PS, you think we'll ever get a quality & complete comic book/graphic novel adaptation of The Wheel of Time? The previous WofT comic was okay although I wasn't a big fan of the art. I'd love to see a WofT comic adaptation similar to Marvel's Dark Tower comics.

The Witcher Showrunner confirming that Chris Hemsworth's brother will portray Geralt in the last 2 seasons like she thinks anyone actually cares is absolutely hilarious when she & her untalented writing staff are the reasons why the real Geralt left the show to begin with & why the show went downhill the way that it did. I hope Hissrich & her lackeys never work on another major adaptation of a beloved IP ever again.

P.J.Osto-Author: Jack Black better play the MC in the Elden ring movie….

bigdaddye3249: Alex Garland also has the upcoming 28 Years Later trilogy

R1v0rian: Slacking this week, Daniel. Only 25 minutes? Absolutely Shameful.
