Freejack II - Alex and the Immortality Megacorp (movie pitch)
Alex Furlong is about to retire... and enter the year 2029. After his tumultuous experience as a freejack, Alex legally assumes the identity of Ian McCandless and marries Julie Redlund, who becomes Julie McCandless. Disinterested in the prospect of running a mega corporation, Alex hands over all corporate responsibilities to Julie and embarks on a moderately successful acting career. Victor Vacendak, now retired from the bonejacking business, remains friends with Alex and they keep in touch. Alex is irritated about a new and wildly popular generative AI technology that is stealing his image and becomes increasingly frustrated with retired life. Meanwhile, Julie, near death, faces her own existential crisis. Corrupted by the power she wields within the McCandless Corporation, she uses its vast resources to pursue a new body for herself-a Bollywood actress who tragically died in a car accident in the 1950s. Alex, being a former freejack, decides it's time to step out of retirement to confront the new reality.
Production details: This video was made using a combination of AI and traditional techniques. 64 keyframes were generated using Juggernaut XL and then fed into Stable Video Diffusion 1.1, resulting in just over 90 usable clips for the video. 6 secondary overlays were also generated in Juggernaut XL. The clips were enhanced with a technique called "Real-Time Intermediate Flow Estimation". Suno generated the music and singing, using modified AI lyrics and style prompting. A few short voice samples were taken from the original movie. Asset editing was done with GIMP, Audacity, and FFmpeg. Several minor edits were done to the keyframes before processing. Everything was arranged for the final video, resulting in around 5,600 frames of AI generated animation. All work was completed in 4 evenings in my spare time, using freely available software on a Fedora Linux workstation.

      Indeed, Luma Dream Machine is shockingly adaptable, but at the expense of some realism. The rapid pacing of the clip generation causes errors to be less noticeable. I expect Sora to be a considerable improvement, once it's freely available. Also, Google's video generator in the ai test kitchen looks like it has potential.

    Cool designs, I can kind of see another name being GreenPunk with the focus on trees, plants, vegetation within a future environment. I think there would be a gap in the psychological need to produce some sort of contribution to society though, we tend to enslave ourselves in our own minds. I'd be curious to see how 'sense of purpose' would be addressed, especially for dominant personalities.
