Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated “actor” created by London-based studio Particle 6, is set to star in her first feature film, titled “Misaligned.” Multiple outlets report the film is described by Particle 6 as a hybrid comedy-drama and coming-of-age story, incorporating themes of existential AI “chaos.” The project is presented as a blend of traditional production work and AI-focused expertise. Hollywood Reporter characterizes it as a “hybrid production,” while other coverage notes that film and TV professionals work alongside trained AI specialists.
NBC News and Polygon also situate the announcement in the context of prior backlash. The AI “actor” has faced public criticism, including from SAG-AFTRA, which has denounced the practice as devaluing human artistry. Particle 6, the company behind Norwood, says it has “retrained and upskilled” more than 30 creatives and technologists since launching the project. ComingSoon.net adds that the film is set within what it calls the “Tillyverse.” Variety and other outlets describe “Misaligned” as Norwood’s first time leading a feature-length film.
