If Cruise played Rorschach, the suspension-of-disbelief would’ve been shattered—too famous to make the role work. It would’ve been just like Spencer Tracy playing Klaatu in The Day The Earth Stood Still, which I read Tracy was fired up to play the role.

Use of AI for the styling of cars...I see where that would lead to more of the same iterations. So let’s table that discussion of AI used in aesthetic design.

You beat me to it.
