The Smashing Machine (2025)

Recently, there was news that a company named Particle6 had created the world’s first AI actress, and that certain agencies were looking into hiring her.

The idea of this actress (named Tilly Norwood) has understandably upset most of Hollywood. I read one actress said one of the main reasons this won’’t work is because Tilly lacks one of the most crucial tools an actor needs: past experiences to draw from. This is one of the main ingredients that makes Dwayne Johnson’s performance in The Smashing Machine so remarkable.
