Over the past couple of years within Hollywood, three topics have been dominating conversation - AI, movie stars, and sex. Numerous questions have been raised such as how does AI impact filmmaking going forward, do movie stars exist now, and is cinema sexy anymore? With his latest film Hit Man, which releases on Netflix later this week, director Richard Linklater (School of Rock, the Before Trilogy) hopes to answer the last two points.
In the movie - which is loosely based on a true story - Top Gun: Maverick's Glen Powell stars as Gary Johnson, a part-time staffer with the police who stumbles into a role posing as an undercover hitman. Everything changes for Gary when he becomes dangerously entangled with potential client Maddy, portrayed by Andor's Adria Arjona.
