AI Scandal Rocks Oscar Contender – ‘The Brutalist’ Faces Backlash Over AI Use in Production

‘The Brutalist’ is a 2024 historical drama directed by Brady Corbet, who co-wrote the script with Mona Fastvold. It’s a collaboration between the U.S., U.K., and Hungary, starring Adrien Brody as László Tóth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor who moves to the U.S. to chase the American Dream. His life takes a turn when a wealthy client helps him find success. The film also features Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, and Joe Alwyn.
