Director Admits "The Brutalist" Used AI to Alter Characters' Accents

  The controversy surrounding the film kicked off last week after an interview with editor Dávid Jancsó was released by Red Shark News. Jancsó said that the production turned to software called Respeecher to clean up Brody and Jones’ dialog after the ADR stage — a process in which certain lines of dialogue are re-recorded in post — didn’t pan out, a decision that both leads were fully on board with, Jancsó said.

  Who cares? Seems like everyone involved was on board. Seems like a good use of the technology to me. I don’t see why anyone should be ‘admitting’ anything.

    Or if your incredibly well paid actors can’t bother to learn an accent, how about you go hire actual people from that part of the country that can do the accent instead of throwing Ai at every problem to solve it the cheapest way possible.

      Sometimes, casting isn’t just about accents or regional authenticity—it’s about acting skill, availability, and fitting a broader character vision. If a top-tier actor can’t naturally deliver an accent, producers may weigh that against other factors. In this case, AI can serve as a compromise rather than a replacement.
