Proprietary AI models could allow Lionsgate execs to watch a rough draft of a movie before they make greenlight decisions.

Lionsgate, the studio behind popular films series’ like The Hunger Games and John Wick, recently announced it’s letting a startup mine its catalog works with the goal of creating an AI model capable of creating storyboards and other pre- and post-production work.

In return for allowing AI video company Runway access to its content catalog, Lionsgate will get a custom AI model.

AI startup Runway has made a name for itself building generative models seemingly trained on unlicensed content from around the internet. Now, the company has signed a deal with Lionsgate that will give it access to the studio’s massive portfolio of films and TV shows.
