The head of the labor name of the British film studio has warned that the UK government plans to weaken copyright laws to reassure AI developers, an “existential threat” for the creative branches of the country.

“We have been making films there for 40 years (and) he moved from the cottage industry to a very serious GDP participant,” said Eric Felner, who since the early 1990s tore the group for Bridget Jones.

“Creative industries are now one of the most important parts of the UK economy,” he said The Financial Times. “If they are going to give out the IS technology companies, it will make a great dent in our future ability to work and our future ability to profit here in the UK.”

Ministers consult on plans to demand from artists, authors and companies to “refuse” their work to use for the preparation of the II programs. The proposals were criticized by thousands of British musicians and artists, including Kate Bush, Damon Albar, collision and Hans Zimmer.

Creating movies has become the main source of economic growth for the UK, with a generous tax loan system that attracts Hollywood studios to make their movies about blockbusters on sites such as Leavesden, Sinewood and Sheperton.

According to BFI, the cost of production in the UK in the UK amounted to £ 5.6 billion, increasing the third to 2023 and on the eve of 2019.

A work title is most famous by some of its rums with Richard Kertis, such as Noting Hill. Four weddings and funeraland Love is actuallyBut also has a huge portfolio of more serious dramas such as Hay. Tinker tailor soldier spyand most recently Stuff.

The fourth film Bridget Jones, which opened this month, has become the biggest in the company’s history, Felner said, predicted that he will exceed the last record for a group of £ 48 million.

“Each territory has opened more than any of the other three Briji films,” he added. Bridget Jones: Missing the boy reached the highest in the history of romantic comedy in the UK, as well as the highest opening for a work title movie.

The fans flocked to their warmth and comfort at a time when the news is often gloomy, while critics say the film played in the trend of authenticity, popular with young generations. He added: “How does a crowd of teenagers enjoy the story of people in the 50s who are fighting the mountains and trying to meet?”

Meanwhile, the old generations remember the first film and the popularity of the original book that is taboo-it means nostalgic evening with an old friend.

Felner said the audience was “pleasantly surprised that the scenario is really good.. The story is much more significant and emotional than I think he thought.”

He said the franchise was unusual in the vision of the actress who played a role with the character in the movies.

“Usually people tend to redo people,” he added, but “we love character and really proud that it is very rare, that the character gets stories for over 20 years, and the actress of the century with the character.”

He said he was too often with the continuation of “creativity becomes tired. It is very difficult to continue to be original in the world where you have already told three stories.”
