For Cellan Jones, the director of Apple TV's "The Family Plan 2", the allure of human-made action sequences remains unmatched. Unlike AI-generated content that attempts to replicate such scenes, these are crafted with passion and dedication.
The filmmaker is known for his meticulous approach to stunt work and real locations, which has been evident in projects like "Generation Kill," "Boardwalk Empire" and "Jessica Jones." His latest effort is no exception, featuring a thrilling car chase through the famous Montmartre district in Paris. The scene was filmed on location with actors, stuntmen, and doubles.
While AI-generated content continues to gain traction, Cellan Jones remains skeptical about its ability to replicate the real thing. In his opinion, the use of computer intelligence often makes scenes feel manufactured or fake. Even young viewers can sense when something looks artificially created.
"I hate AI right now," he confesses, "but I also don't want to be a Luddite who refuses to see the future." However, Cellan Jones prioritizes authenticity and real-world action over CGI. When possible, his team uses stunt performers and doubles to achieve more realistic results.
The filmmaker's dedication to genuine action sequences is rooted in his love for classic films like "The French Connection" (1971) and "Bullitt" (1968). These movies showcase impressive stunts and car chases that have inspired Cellan Jones' work.
His partnership with Mark Wahlberg, another action aficionado, has also helped shape the tone of "The Family Plan 2." The film's success is a testament to the enduring appeal of human-made action sequences.
