Guillermo del Toro denounced artificial intelligence (AI) in filmmaking whilst he accepted the Vanguard Tribute for Frankenstein at the Gotham Awards.
Joined on stage by the horror-sci-fi movie's stars, Jacob Elordi (The Creature) and Oscar Isaac (Victor Frankenstein), the 61-year-old director began his acceptance speech by honouring Mary Shelley, the author of the titular book - which del Toro picked up aged 11 and instantly knew he wanted to create his own film adaptation.
