Sylvester Stallone’s new action film Armor will be among the first to use AI-powered dubbing technology to recreate the late Alain Dorval’s voice, Stallone’s long-time French voice actor. According to Variety, start-ups Lumiere Ventures and ElevenLabs collaborated to ensure the project honours Dorval’s legacy, with the support of his family. While some view AI in the arts with scepticism, this innovation highlights how technology can respect tradition while advancing film production. Armor is set to premiere on Amazon Prime France in March.
