Margot Robbie Neighbours clips face AI micro-drama concerns
Former cast and crew question consent as Fremantle and RoseBerry Media plan AI-assisted vertical edits of old Margot Robbie Neighbours footage for phones.
Fremantle and RoseBerry Media plan AI-assisted edits of old Neighbours episodes into short vertical videos for phones.
Footage of Margot Robbie as Donna Freedman (2008–2011) is the initial focus; more than 9,300 episodes may be scanned.
The firms say only original broadcast material will be used, with human editors approving each stage; no new scenes, face changes or synthetic voices.
Former cast and crew say they were not asked for consent and question rights signed before streaming and AI existed.
Fremantle is understood to be talking to two unions; residuals are expected for actors and writers, not crew.
