EXCLUSIVE: T.J. Miller is now starring in the techno thriller A.I. Heart You, written and directed by Jason Cook. The stand-up comedian and Silicon Valley alum joins an ensemble that includes Zach Gilford, Heather Morris, Kayla Compton and Jonathan Kite.
Miller takes on the role of Marco, an eccentric AI tech partner, in the film’s exploration of artificial intelligence and human relationships.
“This is a cautionary tale about AI, but framing it as a tool, not an inherent evil. This is a story about a bad guy enabled by AI, kinda like Faust,” Cook said. “We’re just grateful to have such an incredible cast to bring it to life.”
Cook and producer Trent Garret are making the movie through their newly formed Blue Collar Productions, in what will be the first of four movies in a fully funded slate.
Cook is also producing the film which has been shooting in Los Angeles and Portland, OR.
In addition to Silicon Valley, Miller starred opposite Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman in Office Christmas Party.
Miller is no stranger to AI or the Web3 space. A pioneer in comedic NFTs, he has become one of Hollywood’s most notable voices in Bitcoin while leveraging blockchain technology to shape the evolving entertainment landscape.
Miller has starred in more than 25 major studio films and played pivotal roles in franchises Deadpool and Transformers. He has also lent his voice to The Emoji Movie, Big Hero 6 and How to Train Your Dragon.
He is represented by CAA, Vault Entertainment and Jackoway, Austen.
