Alcon Entertainment, the production company behind “Blade Runner 2049,” has sued Elon Musk, Tesla Motors and Warner Bros. Discovery over the car company’s use of AI-generated images that were used in a presentation of its new Cybercab and were meant to represent the 2017 Denis Villeneuve sci-fi film.

In court filings obtained by TheWrap, Alcon claims that Warner Bros. Discovery approached Alcon CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, asking permission to use images and clips from “Blade Runner 2049” in Tesla’s presentation of the Cybercab the next day. Kosove and Johnson “refused WBD’s request, objecting to their film being affiliated in any way with Tesla, Musk or any Musk-owned company.”

Now, that model is all but dead.
