    One of the last actual movie makers who doesn’t want to rely on fake effects. And he’s making Airbud. The world just isn’t fair.

    There’s no rule that an AI dog can’t play basketball!

    The article keeps saying over and over that there’s no CGI or AI in the entire movie, but unless I missed something, every time the director was actually quoted, he said specifically that it wouldn’t be a CGI or AI dog.

    So he could still film with CGI, for example, a real dog in front of a green screen. Honestly, I sort of expect every movie is going to have some CGI in it these days.

    What a joke. Is there anyway to prevent the producers from the eternal hack. What schlock. Hey let’s make Jurassic Rocky Scream Air Saw Fast forever. Six. I know that there has to be a track for finding your new “Golden” boy girl he/him she/her they/them diredtor. But Jesus! have a god dam original thought.

    They should get that dog from good boy. Terrible movie, but the dog was great.

      I’ve genuinely hesitated to watch it for that reason: I want to like it (if it’s good), but not because the dog reeeally wants me to (if it’s bad). 🥲

    Having just watched the CGI eagle in Peacemaker, I’d be interested in how convincing a CGI dog could be these days.

    Nice that they plan to do it with a real dog, though, not that I care much. I didn’t see the first one, and I won’t see this one.
