Emily Blunt is opening up about artificial intelligence and why she was determined to avoid using it while filming her upcoming movie Disclosure Day.
The 43-year-old The Devil Wears Prada star recently appeared on Hot Ones and reflected on one of the most challenging scenes she filmed for director Steven Spielberg‘s highly anticipated new project.
According to Emily, a pivotal sequence required her character to communicate in a non-human language. While one possible solution involved using AI to create the sounds, the actress wasn’t enthused about that approach.
How did Emily Blunt create the strange sounds in her new movie?
“It’s a four-minute oner that we shot that leads up to that moment where she’s gradually sort of disintegrating. There’s various ways you could do it. You could go the AI route, which I’m a bit terrified of. I thought I could make some really strange sounds.”
Rather than rely on technology, Emily wanted to create the performance herself.
“I said maybe I could come in and we’ll just do a range of weird sounds. And it’s what we did,” she shared. “I did sort of the clicking sounds, I did sort of humming sounds, consonant sounds, breathing strange sounds.”
The actress explained that the production’s sound department then took those recordings and transformed them into the final effect heard in the movie.
Using strategically placed microphones and specialized audio techniques, the sound team was able to capture the various noises Emily created and build them into what she described as the finished “weird sound” for the scene shown in the trailer embedded below.
Emily‘s comments arrive amid ongoing conversations throughout Hollywood about the growing use of AI in filmmaking and whether the tech should replace elements traditionally created by humans.
