A new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves is in development, while Hollywood grapples with the implications of AI-generated video technology. Additionally, a designer is integrating AI into a New York Fashion Week presentation, and gaming desktops are on sale for Presidents Day.
The "Untitled John Wick Game," featuring the likeness and voice of Keanu Reeves, was unveiled at PlayStation's "State of Play" showcase on Thursday, according to BBC Technology. The game, developed by Saber Interactive, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, will include input from film franchise director Chad Stahelski. The trailer suggests the game will be a prequel to the popular action film series.
Meanwhile, Hollywood is facing challenges with the emergence of new AI video models. TechCrunch reported that Hollywood organizations are pushing back against Seedance 2.0, a video generation tool launched by ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok. Critics are concerned about the potential for copyright infringement due to a perceived lack of guardrails. The model, similar to OpenAI's Sora, allows users to create short videos from text prompts. Seedance 2.0 is currently available to Chinese users and will soon be available globally through the CapCut app.
In other tech news, designer Kate Barton is integrating AI into her New York Fashion Week presentation. Barton collaborated with Fiducia AI to create a multilingual AI agent, built with IBM watsonx on IBM Cloud, to help guests identify and virtually try on pieces from her collection. "Today, tech is a tool for expanding the world around the clothes, how they are presented, and how people enter the story," Barton told TechCrunch.
Finally, gamers looking for new hardware can find deals on pre-assembled gaming desktops. The Verge reported that iBuyPower is offering discounts on its gaming desktops for Presidents Day. Buying a pre-assembled desktop can save time and money compared to building a PC from individual components, according to the report.
