An inteactive dinner party with famous guests and a murder takes place and I have to work with all of these historic and famous figures to help solve it or we might be next!
the most darkest (aka “real”) version of fairy tales and folk lore that can be possibly made with cgi.
any “real” princesses from this story won’t be talking to birds and/ or forest creatures but have great hearts and wills of steel. “real” princes are welcome too.
Ya know, maybe this explains why I (mostly) don’t like movies and don’t watch many. They are what you get if you take a fairly simple prompt (a short story, say) and run it through an AGI. I’d rather just read the story directly, skipping the AI bot or Hollywood buffoonery as the case may ne.
Honestly? I’d crank out the fictional settings I’ve been tinkering with for a long time (one a military-political science fiction setting, the other a dark fantasy one).
Part of the problem is that I tend to think and create visually, so I don’t feel writing really captures either very well. I can picture, in my head, how I want to visually frame the most enthralling or emotional moments… but translating them to words never seems to capture it. So an AGI that could produce the media from my imagination on-demand is pretty much a dream come true.
I really like the idea of changing settings midway through a show. A story would start in ancient China, then switch to the distant future (with the same characters, situation, and ongoing plot), then switch to WWII (same characters, etc), and so on.
I have no idea what kind of story would work with that kind of setting change, but I really like the idea.
And then I’d like to see the same kind of setting bouncing, but with the characters being aware of the switches, and trying to gain advantage through it. Kind of like Inception, but less terrible.
If it was a heist movie, then the lead up could be in 1942 Paris - the thieves are anti-Nazi resistance and Allied spies, then, when it comes time for the theft to occur, it would switch to some third millennia setting on a space station. All the characters are the same. The Nazi general who has gathered gold from people sent to concentration camps is now the governor of the heavy helium mining operation (I dunno), played by the same actor, with a different accent, referring to the same events that happened previously. Then it’d switch to some other setting for the escape - but it would be the same characters with the same motivations/foibles/history.
You could make it similar to Quantum Leap jumping through time within family members. Slowly realizing what’s happening and leaving notes for themselves like 50 first dates. The most confusing would be not knowing a full true family history or what they will be in the middle of when they take control.
You could have an adult brain in womb. Or in hospice.
A ruthless vigilante turns his weapons on the superheroes which in his mind aren’t doing a good enough job, systematically eliminating them one by one.
A sentient super intelligent AI created by scientists for good goes rogue and uses an army of robotic weapons to subjugate mankind.
You might like to know that the first one is very close to an existing comic book called Punisher kills the Marvel Universe, which as the name implies revolves around the Punisher killing all of the super-heroes in the Marvel Universe. Also there’s a book called Steelheart that has a relatable idea of super-heroes being dicks and people revelling against them. The Boys also comes to mind although I haven’t watched the full series not read the full comic. And finally only tangentially related but Wanted (although the movie is based on the comic the only thing in common is the title) is another comic book that approaches the “what if” scenario of someone wiping out the super-heroes, although the story starts after they’ve been wiped out.
For the second one the other answer already gives you a spot on movie, but also I, Robot the movie is very close, and a lot of Asimov books also touch on that base.
