Oppenheimer Star Emily Blunt Gets Blunt About Algorithms In Hollywood

Don’t talk to Oppenheimer and The Fall Guy star Emily Blunt about algorithms. She isn’t a fan, to put it lightly Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Speaking with Variety, the actress expressed her annoyance at the mathematical equations being utilized to decide what movies and shows get made in Hollywood.

“Some new things frustrate me: algorithms, for example,” Blunt said. “I hate that f**king word, excuse the expletive! How can it be associated with art and content? How can we let it determine what will be successful and what will not?”

Recently, A Knight’s Tale director Brian Helgeland talked to Inverse about how Netflix tested a sequel to that film in one of its algorithms and concluded it wouldn’t be successful. Additionally, Helgeland opened up about writing the Game of Thrones spin-off 10,000 Ships, an HBO show that’s no longer in development.

Blunt believes an algorithm, like in the Netflix example above, would have never given the greenlight to Oppenheimer, the highest-grossing biopic ever. “I was in a three-hour film about a physicist, which had the that impact it had–the algorithms probably wouldn’t have grasped it,” she said. On top of the blockbuster box office success, Oppenheimer was also the big winner at the 2024 Oscars. The Christopher Nolan-directed film took home seven Academy Awards.

So as hard as it is simply to write something original about the classic, it must be harder to invent new and exciting ways in which to actually play it. As a result, just about every gaming platform under the sun (and even many non-gaming platforms–hello, graphing calculators) tends to end up with at least one or two new editions of the same old formula, maybe experimenting with a new mode or two but mostly sticking to what’s tried and true. Ubisoft’s crack at celebrating the series’ history falls into thi…
