Lawyers Discuss Artificial Intelligence’s Risks & Rewards For Hollywood
“Cultural change happens a long time before political and legal change does,” cautioned CAA‘s Chief Compliance Officer and Deputy General Counsel Tammy Brandt on the realities of AI.
As OpenAI boss Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amoedi speak to the United Nations today about the risks and rewards of artificial intelligence, the Hollywood angle on the tech was the closing panel of the packed gathering of lawyers, talent, agents and producers at Deadline’s inaugural L.A. Law Summit last week. After a half day that had seen sessions on IP, M&A and the Creator Economy, plus awards for Patricia Glaser and Nina Shaw, AI in many ways brought L.A. Law full circle or hit the refresh button depending on your POV.
“AI is here to stay — it’s an incredible technology,” Brandt stated near the end of her panel with Glaser Weil’s Jesse Levin and Blank Rome’s Craig Weiner. “We have to lean in, but we have to keep fighting for the rights of the content creators and intellectual property. That’s the most important thing.”
Quick, before its turned into an anime talk show (we see you, ChatGPT), take a look at L.A. Law’s AI: Navigating the Realities & Possibilities of Digital Hollywood panel here:
Getting into the whack-a-mole of it all, and beyond the cease-and-desist letters to platforms, Weiner spoke about the role advertising statutes “across the country” can play in protecting clients, their images and work.

As Brandt mentioned the power of existing law with the likes of the relatively untested he Matthew McConaughey trademarks, Levin addressed the big question of how to engage with the power of OpenAI (which easily could buy a studio any day) on deepfakes, copyright trolling and everything else that is getting hover up into the data centers. “There needs to be some amount of leverage obtained over them, and then using the rights laws,” the Glaser Weil partner said.
“They’re the deep pocket, but they’re not the ones out there making all of this content,” Levin added, noting the nuance of the situation. “These are being generated by users on YouTube, on other areas and on their platforms. But the main AI companies, they know what their products are being used for.”
Indeed. And yet, Donald Trump and the feds want no AI oversight.
Deadline’s inaugural L.A. Law Summit was sponsored by Blank Rome LLP, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, Greenberg Glusker LLP, Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein Lezcano Bobb & Dang LLP, Glaser Weil Fink Howard Jordan & Shapiro LLP, and Stubbs Alderton & Markiles LLP.

Did O.J. Simpson Have An Accomplice? Peacock Doc Suggests He Did
Peacock is launching a two-part documentary that claims to offer “real evidence” that suggests members of O.J. Simpson’s inner circle may know more than they’ve let on about the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
The NBCUniversal streamer has ordered OJ’s Accomplice from Ample Entertainment.
The two-part doc will premiere in December and will “challenge long-held assumptions about the case that captivated a nation”.
Nicole Brown Simpson – O.J’s ex-wife – and Ron Goldman were murdered on June 12, 1994. Former NFL star Simpson was charged with the murders and became a fugitive after failing to turn himself in to the LA Police Department and instead took off in a White Ford Bronco on a ride that was watched live by millions.
However, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of both murders in 1995 after an eight-month trial, although Goldman’s father filed a civil suit against the Naked Gun star and a jury found him responsible for the deaths.
Peacock is exploring the fact that law enforcement “never seriously considered the idea” that Simpson may not have acted alone.
The documentary “challenges the dominant narrative around the O.J. Simpson murder saga and offers real evidence suggesting that what we thought we knew about the most obsessed-over crime story of all time could be all wrong.”
It will feature interviews with Kato Kaelin and Nicole Brown’s sister, alongside never-before-heard first-person accounts from eyewitnesses and presents new information “raising questions as to whether members of OJ’s inner circle may have been there that night.”
Created by Ample boss Ari Mark, who exec produces alongside Sumit David, Sphere Abacus is handling international distribution of the two-parter.
Ample Entertainment is behind series such as Netflix’s This Is The Zodiac Speaking and Peacock’s Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.

Warners Pushes ‘Gremlins’ Movie a Year, Moves DC’s ‘Dynamic Duo’
Audiences will have a to wait awhile longer for the next Gremlins movie, with Warner Bros. moving the release date of its untitled third installment in the franchise back 11 months.
The film will now open Oct. 6, 2028, back from its previous date of Nov. 19, 2027. Chris Columbus, who wrote the 1984 original Gremlins is directing and writing the script with Final Destination Bloodlines duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein.

The original, Joe Dante-directed feature centered on adorable creatures and spawned the 1990 sequel, also directed by Dante.
Warners has also shifted the date for DC Studio’s Dynamic Duo, an animated feature that will focus on two young men who have held the mantle of Robin — Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. It hails from puppeteering and animation studio Swaybox, and will be a mix animation, puppetry and CGI. Matt Aldrich is penning the script, with DC Studios‘ James Gunn and Peter Safran producing with The Batman director Matt Reeves’ 6th & Idaho.
The new date places it five months ahead of The Batman: Part II, which opens in February 2028.

‘Dynamic Duo’ & Untitled ‘Gremlins’ Head To Fall 2028: Warner Bros Release Date Changes
Warner Bros has made some release date changes, unrelated to its pending marriage with Paramount.
The DC Robins-origin puppet meets animation feature, Dynamic Duo, is moving from June 30, 2028 to Sept. 22, 2028. The reason being is because Warner Bros distribution believes this will be a good back-to-school animated feature slot for not just K-12, but also teens and college kids. The movie has the potential to his the Spider-Verse crowd.
Coincidentally, this shifts Dynamic Duo away from Paramount’s big feature take of video game Call of Duty on June 30. There are no Paramount movies on Sept. 22, 2028.
Also shifting forward, is Chris Columbus directed untitled Gremlins which is moving from Nov. 19, 2027 to Oct. 6, 2028 (Warners has had good luck in that first weekend of October with Joker). Gremlins wasn’t up against any Paramount movies on its 2027 date, nor is it on its new weekend.
Dynamic Duo marks the first joint project between DC Studios and the Bill Damaschke-led WBPA.
The 6th & Idaho movie scripted by Matthew Aldrich is being made by a new animation studio out of New Orleans named Swaybox and that studio’s husband-and-wife creators Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson. Mintz will direct this movie
