Director Steven Soderbergh has made a documentary, 'John Lennon: The Last Interview', using an interview with John Lennon recorded hours before his death in 1980. Soderbergh used AI to create surreal visuals, sparking criticism. Sean Lennon, John's son, believes his father would have been interested in AI technology. Soderbergh stressed that the AI was used for 'thematic surrealism', not to resurrect Lennon. The documentary is not the first time AI has been used in Beatles-related projects; in 2023, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr used technology to restore John's vocals for a new song, 'Now And Then'. McCartney admitted questioning whether they should use the technology, but believed Lennon would have wanted them to finish the song.
