Lionsgate integrated a custom generative AI model, developed by AI research company Runway and trained on Lionsgate's film and TV library, for use by its filmmakers in pre-production and post-production. The model generates cinematic video that filmmakers, directors, and other creative talent can use to augment their work on film and TV projects.

Announced on September 18, 2024, the partnership with Runway produced an AI model customized exclusively to Lionsgate's proprietary catalog of more than 20,000 titles. The model takes text or image prompts as input and outputs cinematic video sequences, intended for use in storyboarding, pre-visualization, special effects shots, and potentially re-cuts of existing library content. Deal terms restrict Runway from building a public model based on the Lionsgate library, making the model exclusive to Lionsgate and the filmmakers it designates. By September 2025, third-party reporting indicated the project was facing significant technical challenges, with sources telling The Wrap that a single studio catalog was too small to produce a sufficiently capable model.
