When you think of classic horror movies, the first icon of the screen to come to mind is probably Christopher Lee. He’s up there with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing as one of the most recognizable faces of the genre, having played just about everyone except the Wolfman. Either that, or you recognize him from The Lord of the Rings, where he played the diabolical Saruman in his later years.

The Film Comes Up With Creative Ways to Tell Lee’s Story Serafinowicz does a pretty serviceable Lee impression — I’d equate it to the Rod Serling soundalike in the Tower of Terror at Disney World — and it doesn’t feel as though it’s a cheap stunt for the sake of making an impression on the audience.

Jon Spira Takes Lazy Filmmaking to the Next Level With AI Maybe, just maybe, I can see the idea behind using it as another creative source alongside animation and illustration to fill in the gaps in Lee’s life that don’t have film footage or photos to accompany them. But that doesn’t excuse the blatant laziness that A.I. automatically signifies, nor the immediate disgust it fills me with, despite having otherwise enjoyed the film.
