The Ocean's 8 actress added, "We have to be incredibly cautious and aware of it because there are people who will use it for evil and not good. I do feel that there's a place for it."
At the event, Warner Bros. Motion Pictures Co-Chair Pam Abdy also shared her thoughts on the AI-generated trailers for Practical Magic 2. "We have to be incredibly cautious and aware of it because there are people who will use it for evil and not good," she said. "I do feel that there's a place for it."
"I know it's not great, but it's also exciting," Pam added. "Because that means that there's a desire for it, and that means that people want to come and play with the movie."
