Del Toro Bans AI From Pan's Labyrinth
Director Guillermo del Toro explicitly banned AI from the 3D re-release of Pan's Labyrinth. He rejects the technology's role in cinema despite Hollywood's increasing adoption of generative tools. This stance preserves traditional craftsmanship in high-end visual effects. The decision serves as a rare, public refusal of AI integration by a major filmmaker in the industry.
