2019, Chinese technology company Huawei used artificial intelligence to create hypothetical melodies for the third and fourth movements, based on which Lucas Cantor then arranged an orchestral score. The composition was performed live at Cadogan Hall in London on 4 February 2019. However, many consider that the result is disappointing and far from Schubert's style. Goetz Richter writes, for instance: "The completed movements are trivial and achieve ultimately a loose and inauthentic family resemblance to Schubert". In popular culture The symphony's first movement was used as a leitmotif in the 2002 film directed by Steven Spielberg, Minority Report, starring Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell. In the 1957 Harvey Films Casper the Friendly Ghost animated short Boo Bop, Casper discovers the ghost of Franz Schubert struggling to "finish" the symphony at his original piano in a Museum of Music. Schubert's ghost keeps playing the second/celli theme of the first movement on the piano, but is repeatedly distracted, first by Casper and then by outside noises such as a clopping horse, a shooting gallery, construction, and traffic. Casper silences the offending noises through various means, then helps inspire Schubert's ghost to compose past the end of that theme. At the start of the 1979 comic film Being There, directed by Hal Ashby, the character Chance, played by Peter Sellers, wakes as a television remotely snaps on, showing an orchestra performing the subject symphony. The implied connection may be to the character's abnormally "unfinished" personality. In the 1981 TV series Smurfs, the first theme of the first movement is often used either as the theme song of Gargamel, or in scenes where the Smurfs are in danger. See also The composer and pianist Leopold Godowsky composed a Passacaglia with 44 Variations, cadenza and fugue on the opening theme of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, for solo piano. Godowsky added a quarter-note F to the beginning of Schubert's theme, as an anacrusis. The composer Gilad Hochman composed a contemporary homage to Schubert's Symphony titled Shedun Fini (metathesis of the word 'Unfinished') for a clarinet–cello–piano trio in form of Prelude and Allegro, using different quotations and stylistic influences.
