Fortnite Got Permission for AI Darth Vader: Why is SAG Upset?

AI is bringing legendary actors back to life - but is SAG-AFTRA on board? In this episode of Denoised, Joey and Addy dive into the controversy surrounding Fortnite's AI Darth Vader and how Orson Welles has returned nearly 40 years after his death. Plus, IMAX makes a surprising comeback with theaters installing 70mm film projectors again, upcoming major films shot on VistaVision, and AI tools you might have missed, including Manus AI's powerful new image generation capabilities.
