Brad Pitt vs. Tom Cruise AI Fight Scene Prompts ‘Deadpool’ Writer Warning

by

A realistic AI-created video showing Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise fighting has led Rhett Reese, a writer for the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie, to issue a serious warning about the future of filmmaking. He was surprised by how good the video looked—an intense fight scene on a rooftop—and believes traditional filmmakers may not be able to compete for much longer. Reese predicts that soon, anyone with a computer will be able to make high-quality, feature-length movies.

Okay, so I saw this 15-second clip of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise ‘fighting,’ and honestly, it looked so real – like something ripped right out of an action movie. That’s actually the issue, according to Miles Reese, who reacted after it went viral. He originally shared it with a pretty dramatic caption, saying he thought it signaled the end for us all! Someone criticized how it looked, and Reese just laid down the truth about how good this deepfake technology is getting, though he did admit the final result really depends on the skill of the person making it.

Soon, anyone with a computer will be able to create a movie that looks as good as a Hollywood blockbuster. Of course, a bad creator will make a bad movie, but someone with real talent – and someone like that will emerge quickly – could create something truly amazing.

After some initial comments, writer Reese, known for his work on films like Deadpool and Zombieland, released a longer statement explaining his concerns about AI. He clarified that he’s actually afraid of the technology, not enthusiastic, because it could jeopardize jobs and change how movies are made – including his own work. He believes his career, and the careers of other creatives, are now ‘at risk’ as AI becomes more prevalent in Hollywood.

I’m really worried about how AI is starting to impact creative fields. It’s frightening to see people I care about potentially losing their jobs, and I’m concerned about my own future too. When I said ‘It’s over,’ I didn’t mean to sound dismissive – I was genuinely shocked by how polished the deepfake video of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise was. That’s precisely why I’m so uneasy. I fear Hollywood is on the verge of a massive upheaval, and not in a good way. If you weren’t impressed by that video, then you probably don’t need to worry, but honestly, I’m quite shaken up about all of this.
