“Kelly Marie Tran’s first recording session for Raya and the Last Dragon involved a leap of faith. As the titular warrior princess, she stood in a booth in Disney Animation's Burbank offices and performed the dialogue, an incantation meant to awaken a mythical creature that could help save the world.

To release their latest cover shoot featuring Kelly Marie Tran, The Hollywood Reporter collaborated with Dyan Jong and David Cihelna to launch a virtual cover shoot. The shoot coincided with the release of Disney’s “Raya and the Last Dragon”.

The shoot made extensive use of AI-tool and models to accelerate capabilities, production and delivery.

Released as a print magazine, on digital, Apple News and social.
