Director Brady Corbet Swears AI in ‘The Brutalist’ Was More Helper Bot Than Villain, Plus, Adrien Brody & Felicity Jones Totally Rocked

Buy Me A Coffee

There’s a bit of drama swirling around The Brutalist—not the juicy “celebrity caught in a love triangle” kind, but the “AI has entered the chat” type. Turns out, they let AI tinker with some Hungarian dialogue, and people are… spiraling.

Editor Dávid Jancsó spilled the tea during an interview, saying they used AI tools to polish up Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones’ Hungarian accents. And while the internet clutched its metaphorical pearls, director Brady Corbet swooped in like a cinematic knight in shining armor to defend the decision.

“Let me be crystal clear,” Brady said (probably while dodging virtual pitchforks), “Adrien and Felicity didn’t just wing it. They sweated for months with dialect coach Tanera Marshall to nail those accents. The AI didn’t replace their voices or dub them with robot monotones. It just fixed a few rogue vowels here and there—like a digital spell-checker for Hungarian pronunciation. This was strictly vowel rehab, people. English dialogue? Untouched, unbothered, and thriving.”

Oh, but wait, there’s more! The AI drama apparently got so out of hand that Brady had to clear up unrelated suspicions. “Listen,” he said, “Judy Becker and her art squad? They hand-drew every single building you see. No AI-generated skyscrapers here. The only ‘bad tech’ moment was in a background memorial video, which was supposed to look like an old-school, glitchy digital rendering. You’re welcome for the intentional nostalgia.”

Brady wasn’t done. He wrapped things up with an inspirational mic drop: “The Brutalist is about human complexity, people! Every frame, every note, every tear-stained vowel—crafted with good old-fashioned human blood, sweat, and coffee. AI just helped clean up a smudge.”

And hey, all this hullabaloo hasn’t stopped The Brutalist from raking in accolades. Adrien and Felicity are basically besties with award show nominations, and the film itself is a frontrunner at the BAFTAs and Critics Choice Awards. Oh, and no big deal, but they already bagged Best Drama, Best Actor (Adrien), and Best Director (Brady) at the Golden Globes. AI controversy? What AI controversy?

Moral of the story: Don’t mess with vowels—or Brady Corbet’s artistic integrity.
