I strongly believe that AI will soon enable us to create complete feature films.

The Future of Filmmaking: AI’s Role in Creating Full-Length Movies

As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, I firmly believe that producing full-length films with artificial intelligence will soon become a reality. Imagine a future where your children, or indeed anyone, can simply describe the story they want to see—based purely on their imagination—and within minutes, an AI system crafts a complete movie.

This vision has been gradually shaping since the debut of innovative tools like DALL-E, which opened our eyes to the creative potential of generative AI. Recent developments, such as VEO 3, have brought this concept even closer to actualization, showcasing how AI can generate complex visual content with impressive detail and coherence.

In Hollywood, we’re witnessing tangible signs of this transformation. Many visual effects (VFX) processes are beginning to be automated through AI-powered solutions, significantly reducing both time and cost. Notably, some studios are already leveraging generative AI to cut VFX expenses — for example, a recent project managed to reduce costs by approximately 30%, demonstrating the financial advantages of this approach.

Looking ahead, it’s plausible that AI could eventually handle all aspects of VFX, relegating human involvement to managerial roles rather than hands-on creation. As this shift unfolds, the way movies are produced will be fundamentally changed, making film creation faster, more cost-effective, and accessible to a broader range of creators.
