In 2027, will there exist a program that takes as input a string, ex the text from a book, and produces an ~entertaining full-length (1h+) movie?

It is fine if it is noticeably AI-generated, so long as it does make the movie unwatchable. It is fine if it is not end-to-end, and uses language models to reformat the story for movie-prompting as a step in the generation.

For positive resolution, the program needs to respect the following desiderata:

• Text-only story, not formatted for movie-script

• 1h+

• Substantial dialogue

• Consistent character voices

• Some music

• Most people (as determined by a poll on twitter) find the movie somewhat entertaining; however, it needs to be entertaining by its quality rather than by how bad it is (ex The Room) or just because it's AI-generated

• No human-in-the-loop

No need to have:

• Perfect object-consistency

• No weird image/audio artefacts, so long as they don't make the movie very annoying to watch

• AI-generated music

• Anyone having access to all the models used to generate the movie
