Google DeepMind just wrote a $75 million check to the studio behind Everything Everywhere All at Once. The investment marks Google’s first equity stake in a film studio, and it comes packaged with a multi-year AI research partnership that aims to build new tools for movie production and distribution.
The deal, announced on June 22, pairs one of the world’s most advanced AI research labs with one of Hollywood’s most culturally relevant indie studios.
What the partnership actually involves
The core of the agreement is a dedicated AI research lab housed at A24, where DeepMind researchers and A24 creatives will work side by side. The goal is developing AI-driven tools that assist filmmakers across the production and distribution pipeline, not replacing them.
DeepMind VP Eli Collins described the initiative as “first-of-its-kind,” aimed at empowering creatives with advanced technology.
