Rhett Reese, the screenwriter behind Deadpool, warned that his profession is facing an existential threat following the release of Seedance 2.0, ByteDance’s new AI video generator.

SAG-AFTRA condemned the software for unauthorized use of actor likenesses as the Chinese tech giant is promising to strengthen its copyright safeguards.
