Sunny Hostin licenses likeness to AI studio Fountain 0

Sunny Hostin, co-host of ‘The View’, has signed a licensing agreement with AI entertainment studio Fountain 0 to allow the use of her name and likeness. The deal enables the studio to create film and television adaptations of Hostin’s novels using AI technology.

Hostin stated that the technology offers a way to bring her stories to life and immerse herself in her intellectual property. She noted that AI could provide creators with more freedom to develop stories without the traditional limitations of production budgets. Under the terms of the agreement, Hostin will maintain ‘strict control’ over how her image is used and which projects move forward.

Fountain 0, led by CEO Ash Koosha, has previously produced AI-generated films such as ‘Dreams of Violets’ and ‘Odysseus: The Fall’. The studio’s work highlights a growing trend in Hollywood where public figures license their digital likenesses to create new revenue streams and reduce production costs.
