It’s to be released via the filmmaker’s EDGLRD production collective, and will premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
Filmmaker Harmony Korine has announced a new film, Baby Invasion, a first-person shooter that will be soundtracked by Burial.
The film will premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and will come via Korine’s EDGLRD production and multimedia design collective, who use artificial intelligence technology as a key part of their filmmaking process. Baby Invasion is billed as a home invasion movie, with AI technology used to transform home invaders into babies.
EDGLRD announced the news today on X, with a poster featuring a baby’s head floating above a body of water, simply announcing: “Baby Invasion will premiere at Venice Film Festival. Music by Burial.”
According to IndieWire, Baby Invasion’s official synopsis reads: “Baby Invasion is a new ultra-realistic, multiplayer FPS game following a group of mercenaries using baby faces as avatars to conceal their identity. Tasked with entering mansions of the rich and powerful and leaving nothing behind, players must explore every rabbit hole before time runs out.”
It’s the second EDGLRD release after 2023’s Aggro Dr1ft, which premiered at Venice Film Festival and on the collective’s website.
