Andrea Iervolino ('Ferrari') leads the first feature film directed and starring by AI: this is 'The Sweet Idleness'

'The Sweet Idleness' begins its distribution phase with a differentiating premise in the film world: it is the first professional feature film directed and starring generative artificial intelligence tools.

The producer Andrea Iervolino, responsible for traditional films such as Ferrari o To the Bone, stands as coordinator of a project set in the year 2135. In this future, 99% of jobs are automated, although 1% of the population still manages to keep their jobs. Little else can be intuited from a trailer that offers little more than a visual proposal close to that of creators like Wes Anderson and an aesthetic, at least, unified for what the generative AI.

The Sweet Idleness It is promoted as the first film directed by Fellini, a systemmultiagent" of AI support. Regarding casting, this is made up of actors managed by the tool Actor+, a proprietary tool Andrea Iervolino Company that makes available to films a real people portfolio who have donated their image so that it can be used in film productions.

"FellinAI is a director who never sleeps, while Actor+ is a company of actors who live beyond the screen. It is the future, but also a return to the original poetry of cinema. I would like to make it clear that this new productive approach - led by an artificial intelligence agent as director, with the participation of digital actors created from real people and applied to this project - is not intended to replace traditional cinema. It is, rather, an alternative method of creation," explains the producer.
