Utopai Studios, an AI startup turned film studio, is using generative AI to bring “unfilmable” stories to life. By combining AI-driven worldbuilding, previz, and cinematic rendering with traditional Hollywood expertise, it can cut costs, expand creative possibilities, and still keep artistic control in the hands of writers and directors. Early projects include Cortés and the sci-fi series Space. For Hollywood, this signals a potential solution to soaring budgets and risk-aversion, making ambitious scripts finally achievable.
