Can AI turn YOUR rewatch favorite movies into even more immersive and sensory detailed books ?
The ability to transform your favorite movies into comprehensive novels that delve deeper into the stories, characters, and settings could be right at your fingertips.
Movie enthusiasts who find themselves rewatching the same film over and over — this could be a dream come true for our lucky a%%.
Thanks to this new technology that can’t stop threatening our job positions every day, this dream is closer to reality than ever before. AI can analyze movies and generate detailed books, allowing fans like myself to experience their beloved stories in new and enriching ways.
The Art of War (2000): A Case Study
Let’s take “The Art of War” (2000), starring Wesley Snipes and Marie Matiko, as an example. This is a movie I rewatch every three months (yup!). Don’t ask me for an explanation, but this film captures my attention in a unique way.
From the New York of the 2000s — a decade that left a lasting mark on me (nostalgia is a great sickness with no remedy) — to the fight scenes, the grumpy yet smart inspector, the coolest clothes, and the connection with Chinese culture, something about this movie feels unfinished.
The more I watch it, the more questions I come up with.
Imagine now my face if AI could create a trilogy of books based on this film, offering a deeper dive into its world.
Detailed Descriptions of 2000s New York
One of the significant appeals of “The Art of War” is its setting in New York City during the early 2000s. AI could enhance this by providing vivid, detailed descriptions of the city, capturing the essence of this dynamic period. I could explore the bustling streets, the iconic cultural landmarks, and the unique atmosphere that characterized New York at the turn of the millennium. Descriptions could include sensory details that films often overlook, such as the sounds, smells, and textures of the city, making the experience more immersive.
Political Intrigue
This detailed exploration of political intrigue would offer a more comprehensive understanding of the motivations driving the characters and the broader implications of their actions. I’m sure we’ve all seen actor interviews where they explain how they get into character, often reading extensively to build their personas — a process advised by the scenarists and writers who work hard to create a story that stands up to the political logic of the present.
What if we could go through that same journey, experiencing the work the actors did, but purely for the enjoyment of the story?
These literary adaptations would not only satisfy the craving for more of the story but also provide an opportunity to learn and engage with the material on a deeper level. Understanding the complex political maneuvers and international espionage while enjoying our reading time could be a great way to enrich our knowledge of culture and history.
Character Backstories
Characters in “The Art of War” are compelling, yet the movie only scratches the surface of their backgrounds.
A novel could provide comprehensive backstories for each character, for example what was the story of Julia played by the great Marie Matiko
by reading, words could help us explore the protagonist’s journey in greater detail, revealing pivotal moments from their past that shaped their current persona. Secondary characters, who might not have received as much screen time, could also be fleshed out, adding depth and richness to the narrative.
Extended Storylines
Movies often gotta cut corners, trim the fat, and leave subplots on the editing room floor just to keep things tight.
But when you have the luxury of a book, you can explore every twist and turn, unpack the unseen, dive into every character’s journey, and delve into all the drama that got left out. That’s where AI steps in, creating those extended storylines that were just a whisper in the film.
Now, let me show you a glimpse of how this could look by visiting this chat I had with ChatGPT, which almost wrote that book.
While it’s not fully possible yet, I suggest creating an app or website like GoFundMe or Kickstarter where a community of fans could finance a great writer ( using AI as assistant ) to turn their favorite rewatchable movie into a book.
