It depends on how broad of a brush you're painting with when you say "this technology." Neural network based or neural network enhanced rendering techniques are certainly going to get applied to movie CGI. This specific adversarial network only does stills, so it won't. A lot of the recent "wow" research is directly generating images, which I don't think will scale up to realistic scenes as soon as anything moves and rotates, but there's other research in hybridizing 3D model rendering with AI[1] that seems like it could get there. And maybe the adversarial network model in article works with those techniques too. Also, it's important to consider control when talking about CGI or other creative endeavors. Generating a perfectly realistic scene is useless without being able to control the details of the scene. So the completely end-to-end magic demos aren't nearly as useful as things that generate off of armatures or performance transfer.
