Academy Award winning actor Catherine Zeta Jones spoke out against the use of artificial intelligence performers in film and television, Deadline and Yahoo News UK reported.

Zeta Jones explained that she prefers knowing nothing about the performers she watches. Deadline reported that she described the choice to work with artificial intelligence firms as an individual decision for each actor, though she prefers traditional casting. [1]

The comments coincided with promotional appearances at New York Comic Con for her upcoming television series Kill Jackie, TV Insider and The Hollywood Reporter reported. During an AMC Global Media panel, Zeta Jones revealed that her background in dance helped prepare her for the action heavy sequence demands of the new production. [2][3]

The Hollywood Reporter reported that AMC Global Media featured Kill Jackie alongside several other network properties during its presentation. The network teased footage from the show alongside Mayfair Witches Salem Coven, Yaga, and the final season of The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon. [3]
