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.

The Hollywood studio will give the tech company access to its library of movies and shows in exchange for a custom-built AI model.
