Instagram‘The End of Oak Street‘ has been building buzz for months as one of the bigger genre swings coming from Warner Bros. this summer, blending a family survival story with an unexpected dinosaur invasion. Warner Bros. recently partnered with DogPack, an AI-generated “pawdcast” account run by four brothers out of Montreal, to release a 90-second clip featuring two AI-animated dogs interviewing Starbuck about the upcoming film. The negative response proved intense enough that Warner Bros. Pictures appears to have quietly removed the video from its official Instagram account tied to the film. The controversy arrives at an awkward moment for Warner Bros., given how much earlier marketing for ‘The End of Oak Street’ had leaned on Starbuck’s genuine on-screen charm rather than any AI gimmickry. With ‘The End of Oak Street’ set to stomp into theaters on August 14, Warner Bros. will be hoping the film itself, rather than its AI dog podcast detour, ends up dominating the conversation once audiences actually get a look at the finished movie.
