Midjourney: The Artificial Intelligence that recreates movies that have never existed

In the cinema everything is possible, as long as there is imagination… And money. Cinema has given us movies so weird that they are too crazy to believe and the strangest combinations, such as westerns in space, romances between cannibals or the craziest movies you’ll ever see. But there are ideas so unlikely that not even the film industry itself has dared to carry them out, and for that, current technology is providing us with tools to make them possible. One of them is Midjourney, an Artificial Intelligence that is capable of creating images through the written descriptions of its users.

Similar to Dall-e, another AI with similar characteristics that went viral a few months ago for being able to build any image with astonishing realism, Midjourney is becoming relevant on social networks these days for showing a level of detail much higher than that of its digital sister, and the movie fan communities on Facebook and Twitter are using it to recreate impossible mixes by imagining movies that never existed.

One of these examples is ‘Alien Stravaganza’, the film directed by Pedro Almodóvar that would serve as a bridge between the sagas of ‘Alien’ and ‘Prometheus’‘. The Facebook user Iker Paz has been in charge of giving the guidelines to the AI ​​to achieve images that mix the Almodóvar universe with the xenomorphs created by HR Giger and Ridley Scott. The result is impressive: ‘Xenomorphs on the verge of a nervous breakdown‘ (swipe to see all photos).

But the imagination of moviegoers who have decided to use the AI ​​tool has not stopped there, as shown by the thousands of posts shared in the Facebook group ‘Midjourney Official‘, some of them certainly shocking. For example, a Batman in Tolkien’s Middle-earth, ‘Star Wars’ directed by Stanley Kubrick, ‘Hellraiser’ with the aesthetics of Fritz Lang’s ‘Metropolis’… Take a look at the following galleries and marvel with us at the wonders of modern technology. Who knows if, in the near future, in addition to images, AIs will be able to recreate entire movies? Are we entering Skynet’s ‘Terminator’ prophecy…?
