Entertainment giants Lionsgate are partnering with artificial intelligence (AI) company Runway to allow a new AI model to be trained on their extensive film and TV archive. Lionsgate, the studios behind series such as The Hunger Games and John Wick, will benefit by being able to use the resulting AI technology in future productions.

The first-of-its-kind partnership is centered around the creation and training of a new AI model that will be customized on Lionsgate’s proprietary catalog. Lionsgate is behind franchises such as The Hunger Games, Twighlight, John Wick, Saw, Divergent, and Knives Out, along with being behind hit movies such as La La Land and American Psycho.

Lionsgate, the Hollywood studio behind the John Wick and Hunger Games franchises, has announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with AI video startup Runway that will see the artificial intelligence company develop a custom model trained on the studio's content.

Runway will use Lionsgate's vast catalog to train a model that the studio's filmmakers can then use to help make new content.
