Gore Verbinski hopes his film “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” will be both therapeutic and a warning about the negative impacts of technology and artificial intelligence on society. At the Berlin Film Festival, he shared that the film features Sam Rockwell as a time traveler from the future who disrupts a diner to select patrons for a mission to prevent a future AI apocalypse. The film blends action, comedy, and drama, aiming to entertain while encouraging reflection on the dangers of a digital society.
Verbinski noted that comedy often serves as a strong critique, suggesting that laughter can carry an important message. While some viewers focus on the social commentary, others simply enjoy the entertainment. The film mixes humor with serious themes, echoing the style of the show “Black Mirror. ” Rockwell mentioned the film addresses serious issues like school shootings but emphasized that its primary goal is to entertain, with any underlying message being an added benefit.
