Atlas talks precisely about that. With a first-class cast, the film directed by Brad Peyton treats AI (artificial intelligence) in a different context.

The film shows the most intimate and human side of the man-machine relationship. What was the most challenging aspect as an actress to play with this premise?

Jennifer López (JL): For me, filming for seven weeks solely in front of a green screen was a unique experience. She was alone in that capsule, with a robot talking to me, but without moving around the stage; I was just there, imagining that the world was ending, that I was falling through a planet, or that I had broken my leg, or even fighting with people. All of this made every day a real struggle. She was returning home. Literally, limping from fatigue, because she demanded the most from me. I had never worked on a film with so much use of green screen before.

What did you like most about this particular story and its characters?

JL: I am a fan of all movies. I don’t really discriminate. I love all types of movies, dramas, everything. I think what I liked most about this movie was the relationship between Atlas and Smith, the fact that he was just this robot that she wanted nothing to do with and little by little he just takes the heart and soul out of him. be consistent and loving, and I think it’s a metaphor for relationships.

‘Atlas’ is now available on Netflix.

Is there any film or series that inspired you to work on this film?

Sterling K. Brown (SKB): Yes. I love how you’re able to talk about today’s society by taking things a little outside the realm of the here and now, but then you can talk about it more specifically. Like The Matrix did at the time, I really love that movie.

Simu Liu (SL): I like video games, so when I read this script and saw some of the images, I thought of Titanfall. I’m also a big Gundam Wing fan, so I loved all the different visual influences that were seen and made this movie unique.

What did you learn working in the same film studio?

JL: I think being an athlete helps, but it’s not a normal thing to do even if you’re an actor. It is natural. One says I’m going to make believe this, this and this, but in the same way it still requires the emotion and intensity of the scene.

What is the message that stands out the most?

SKB: For me it all revolves around the ability to trust. You don’t get anywhere in life by yourself, that requires communication, cooperation, teamwork, because if you close yourself off, you are closing yourself off to a lot of bad things. You have to risk being hurt to risk being loved.
