Ya'll ready for the first AI cut movie trailer?

http://www.indiewire.com/2016/08/morgan-trailer-created-by-artificial-intelligence-ibm-research-1201721886/

quote:

Can a computer be capable of original thought and of creating something on its own? Probably not, but scientists can collaborate with machines to get a better understanding of what humans like and what scares them.

20th Century Fox’s new film, “Morgan,” is an A.I. horror thriller about an artificially created humanoid who’s existence is threatened after she attacks one of her creators. Taking their film to the next level, the studio teamed up with scientists at IBM Research to create the first-ever cognitive movie trailer, and learn what keeps audiences at the edge of their seats.

Using experimental Watson APIs and machine learning techniques, the IBM Research system analyzed hundred of horror and thriller movie trailers. Then the artificial intelligence system watched “Morgan” and suggested the top 10 best moments for a trailer to be edited together by an IBM filmmaker.

The result is astonishing, giving the new A.I.-created trailer a darker tone and adding new scenes that the official trailers didn’t include.

“Watson was able to model the scene visually to determine, was the scene scary? Was it a tender moment? Was there sadness or happiness,” explained John Smith, IBM Fellow and Machine Vision, in the video below.

A.I. has also previously been used to co-write a horror film, as it was the case with Greenlight Essentials’ thriller “Impossible Things.” The studio has been developing an A.I. that can break down movie plots and connect those plot points to its audience’s tastes using something called Natural Language Processing (NLP). It launched a Kickstarter page back in the beginning of the month to help fund its advancement.

Though in IBM Research’s case they used A.I. to just piece together one clip to market the film.

Check out the A.I.-created “Morgan” video below, which also features an in-depth look at how Watson created the suspenseful trailer.

“Morgan” arrives in theaters on September 2.

Washington and Viola are both stepping back into the roles that won them Tony awards when they starred in the play's 2010 reprisal and Washington is also directing.

This is going to go up there with A Bronx Tale, where a really talented actor steps behind the camera and everyone's going to be like "WHY DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN SOONER?"

E: Trailer for a new zed movie called "The Girl With All The Gifts." Looks like they're really running with some of the themes and ideas brought up in 28 Weeks Later and expanded upon in Alan Moore's Crossed +100 The second or third arc deals with a girl named Future raising an infected child named "Hearted" in the remnants of the old world and the beginnings of the new one.

I'll reiterate what I've said before about Patriots Day, which is that it's a craven attempt to situate Mark Wahlberg as "Boston's Hero" once again in a story that really doesn't need to be told in this format. Lessons I learned from that trailer:

Cops are apparently hot in uniform
Muslim women do not have rights (in fact they have "poo poo")
America is unstoppable as long as we're still willing to execute our own citizens.

The whole thing is frankly pretty vile. I'm sure we'll even get some bloody, shaky-cam, muffled-sound shots of Martin Richard dying on Boylston St just because.

edit: Jackie looks phenomenal. One anecdote that I wish would made it into the movie but probably won't:

RFK and LBJ were known to despise each other. They absolutely hated each other and it was no secret. LBJ saw RFK as constantly putting himself between LBJ and the President, and RFK felt similarly towards LBJ. In any case, LBJ was on board Air Force One, on the tarmac, in Dallas, as JFK is pronounced dead. In order to assume the presidency, he needs to officially take the oath of office, right there on the plane. The trouble was, there was no copy of the oath anywhere on board. LBJ sent some of his aides back into the city to track down a copy in a public library. At the same time however, he realized that Bobby was in the White House, and had just heard the news minutes ago (JFK had been shot 2 hours prior). So, LBJ got on the phone to the White House and instructed Bobby to find a copy of the oath in the white house library, and made him read the oath of office to his sworn enemy, hours after his brother was assassinated.

LBJ then also carefully orchestrated a photo op on board the flight to capture the moment, and insisted that Jackie be next to him in the photo so that everyone could see that the Kennedy's supported him. She was still wearing JFK's blood on her dress.



Ice cold.

LBJ: Spoke loudly and carried a big dick.

There was also an extra shot of an alien crawling on a wall and a shot of a woman drenched in blood. Just because it's a redband doesn't mean it needs to become a slaughterhouse trailer.
