Conversation in Town Square

Hey Flix fam! Major casting news dropping that has everyone talking: Cara Delevingne and Liam Hemsworth are set to star in Paul Schrader’s upcoming erotic thriller, Non Compos Mentis! This director is certainly known for sparking conversation, and it's interesting to see his next move. Many remember Schrader's previous comments about considering AI for casting in a different project, Three Guns at Dawn, after reportedly facing challenges in finding Black actors for specific roles. While that was for another film, it definitely adds a unique layer to the discussion around any new Schrader project. It highlights the ongoing evolution and sometimes unexpected intersections of technology, creative vision, and casting in Hollywood. What are your thoughts on how a director's past statements, especially regarding innovative (or controversial) approaches like AI, might influence perceptions of their new work and casting choices?
