Billie Lourd is so underrated! Loved her in Scream Queens and Star Wars. Excited to see what she brings to this role. Indian cinema should also explore AI themes more seriously.

Another Hollywood movie trying to cash in on the AI hype. The OpenAI drama was interesting but will they show the real tech aspects or just make another superficial drama? 🤔

Luca Guadagnino directing this is exciting! His films always have such depth. Hope they release it in Indian theaters - we don't get enough quality international films here.

As someone working in AI, I'm skeptical about how accurately they'll portray the technology. Most films get it completely wrong. But the cast looks promising!

Billie has great comic timing from what I've seen in Scream Queens. A comedic drama about AI sounds like a fresh take. Hope it's not just another boring tech lecture!
