Marcia Gay Harden, who won an Oscar, is going to play "SERA," a super smart AI buddy in the next sci-fi movie Renner.
The famous actress Marcia Gay Harden, who’s won an Oscar for her amazing roles in movies like Pollock and Mystic River, is going to be the voice of the AI buddy in the super exciting sci-fi movie Renner.
Directed by a small-time filmmaker named Drew Taylor, Renner is all about a future where AI is everywhere and controls a lot of what happens in people’s lives.
In Renner, Harden will play “SERA,” this high-tech AI that’s supposed to help and look out for the main character, played by a fresh face named Jordan Renner.
SERA is more than just a robot; she’s got this cool ability to understand and feel emotions, making her way into people’s lives in a way that’s almost too real.
As Renner tries to get through a world full of danger and lies, SERA is his go-to friend—but why she’s doing what she’s doing is still a mystery.

The reason they chose Harden to be SERA’s voice is because she’s got this mix of being warm and in charge, which the movie makers really wanted for the AI character.
“Marcia’s voice has this special mix of caring and strength, which is just what we needed for SERA,” Taylor said. “She brings a real human touch to the character that’s going to make people think twice about what they think AI is.”
Renner is set to shake things up in the sci-fi world, looking into the moral and emotional sides of having AI friends.
The movie comes out at a time when people are talking a lot about AI, making it both relevant and thought-provoking.
Harden’s part in the movie adds a serious vibe, and we’re all looking forward to seeing how Harden’s SERA changes the game when it comes to trusting in a world where technology can be both a help and a danger.
