Martin Scorsese worked directly with Robin Rombach to use Black Forest Labs' generative models to visualize pre-production scene concepts for a potential new film.

Rombach steps back from the film discussion to articulate the deeper architectural insight: the model that makes a movie and the model that drives a robot are not two different technologies — they are the same model. Pre-training on video at scale gives a model implicit understanding of physics, causality, and spatial relationships — the foundations of intelligent physical action. From that base, only a few hours of task-specific fine-tuning data are needed to deploy the model on a specific robot in a factory setting. The long-term goal is to make even that fine-tuning unnecessary, enabling in-context robot instruction — just tell a robot in natural language what to do, the same way you prompt a language model. Rombach acknowledges this is still a research problem, but the trajectory is clear: world models, action models, and generative video models are all converging into the same underlying architecture.
Robin Rombach sat with Martin Scorsese multiple times to demonstrate Black Forest Labs' generative tools. What captivated Scorsese wasn't automation — it was the ability to take a visual scene living in his imagination and externalize it for his team to iterate on. Language is lossy. Images are not.
A Bitcoin movie starring Gal Gadot was filmed entirely on a sound stage, with all scenery generated by AI in post. The result: a $30M production that would have cost $150M with traditional set builds. It never would have been greenlit at $150M — generative AI didn't just cut costs, it made the film possible.
A Bitcoin movie starring Gal Gadot was made for $30M using generative AI for all scenery — it would have cost $150M with traditional set builds and might never have been greenlit.
The most underappreciated insight in AI right now: a single multimodal generative model can produce a movie and act as the perception and action brain for a physical robot. Pre-training on video gives implicit understanding of real-world physics — which transfers directly into robotic action prediction.
Black Forest Labs' visual understanding models require only a few hours of fine-tuning data to adapt to a specific robotic task, dramatically reducing deployment friction.
Robby's wife Gabby Windey was the Bachelorette on the TV show, meaning she had 25 male contestants, before eventually coming out and marrying Robby.
Jimmy Tatro noted that The Hawk on Netflix is Will Ferrell's first TV series where he is the lead, despite Ferrell's long movie career.
Jimmy Tatro revealed The Hawk is his fifth time working with Will Ferrell, having gone straight from a movie with Ferrell's team into the series.
Reacher Season 2 attracted 56 million global viewers in a single week, making it one of the most-watched streaming shows in Amazon Prime Video history.
Motor City is a film with zero spoken dialogue, originally conceived by then-Warner Bros. president Greg Silverman so that global audiences could share the same experience without language barriers.
The Motor City script appeared on Hollywood's prestigious Blacklist of best unproduced screenplays as early as 2009 and was greenlit nine times with different directors before finally being made.
Alan Ritchson turned down the role of Hawk on Titans five times before finally accepting, having convinced himself he was destined for Shazam — which he ultimately did not get.
Alan Ritchson's failed Thor audition was so poor the casting director broke protocol to call his team and say he didn't have the craft — a moment Ritchson describes as the career-defining crossroads that sent him to acting school.
Camila Mendes shot Riverdale for 7 consecutive years, 10 months per year, with only 2-month gaps between seasons, leaving no time to stop or rest.
