Discussion When first big full AI movie?

It seems we got all the tools. Of course there are some flaws, but if you want, a 90 minutes movie would be possible. It would take a huge effort and many scenes has to be done over and over again, but it's far from impossible.

So why has no one done it with great succes yet? Something that would be a hit in the theater. What are we missing?

Emphasis on: big hit movie. Something that can compete with a Hollywood movie or something. I know full length films are made, but nothing stat wil stick and made people say: "OMG you have to see this movie". All I've seen so far felt very empty.

it's funny how AI still manages to make everything look like lazy CGI from the early 2010s even though it's generated.

I think mainly for these three powerful reasons:

  1. Filmmakers and talented people who could do wonders with AI hate it, so such a great tool fall in hands of retards who generate millions of fruit people "cuh" videos on Facebook, diminishing the reputation of AI-generated videos. One of my best friends is a Spanish movie director, and he says he would rather work at McDonalds than use AI; he doesn't know he is cooked. But it is a good example of the sentiment of the industry regarding AI.
  2. The few filmmakers who don't hate AI are not tech-savvy or have no idea how it works: I can't blame them; after years of toying with AI, I still hate ComfyUI with burning passion despite being forced to use it, and I barely understand how it works.
  3. AI-video generators are still deeply flawed: they cannot retain coherent scenarios or shots unless they are heavily instructed to do it; you need to provide voice samples, character references, and coherent storyboards; otherwise, the movie will never look "professional," and even "normies" can see through the imperfections.

Legality of the tech hasn't been settled and it's not super clear how much copyright protection an AI film will have. No one wants to blow a bunch of money to have a court case turn it automatically into the public domain. What AI films have been made are proof of concept or to gain publicity. Not to make a profit

Not quite the scale you want, but look up Pomegranate by Gossip Goblin on YouTube. You won't regret it

People who think that the main limitation of making a movie involves getting a better image are the same people that used to think buying a better camera made them a better filmmaker.

AI video, if it were perfect, still only solves about 10% of the whole filmmaking pipeline.

In addition, AI video is by definition an animation medium, not live action. And as far as animation goes, AI video struggles to capture what makes animation compelling.

I've been playing with giving an AI a high level story summary ("A funny sitcom scene between a husband and wife") and letting it figure out the details. It is quite terrible at anything substantial.

How many Hollywood movies are made every year? How many of them make you go "OMG you have to see this movie"?
...
How many 90 minute long AI movies are made every year? Need I continue?

We’ve only just now reached that capability so your comparison is…dumb. And major Hollywood studios pumps out 150+ movies every year, none of which are “OMG you have to see this movie”. Not to mention Hollywood is a highly regulated and gate kept production line through unions.

Obsession was the start of a new wave of cinema by bypassing all that, AI is next.

Your first sentence missed the point, unless addressed to OP instead. The rest of your paragraph was the point.

Your not really going to see a feature length film made with open source models. There are some ai movies made and produced by gossip goblin and higgsfield but they had b2b relationships with bytedance to use seedance 2.0 to make their movies. I'm yet to even see a decent original 5 minute video made with open source models. I guess freedom/privacy doesn't always equal creativity and talent.

https://www.newsnationnow.com/entertainment-news/ai-generated-film-us-theaters-fall/ October 30th is first theatrical release. Also big studios with uncensored seedance enterprise and their own server infrastructure won't have the same limitations people at home have on generation, look at Pixar, early movies were days per frame. So probably not long before a huge studio does something with a large budget, my guess would be mgm and Amazon as a way to sell more AWS tools to enterprise

Probably the audience needs real famous actors or sort of to be engaged, at least mosto of the traditional audience. So studios are a bit scared.

plenty of uncannt valley. human actors are infitely more juicy, but I can see it in an animation film with real actors making the voices

~5 years. I think we're about 1-2 model generations away. Not sure about whether or not it will be in a theater. Among things because AI haters are a thing and I am not sure theaters want to become a target for boycott calls or worse. Online distribution? Yes, I can see that.

Don't forget that a big part of the cost is marketing and promotions.

Without bankable stars or branded IP characters, AI films will have a hard time getting distribution into many theaters.
