For The Washington Post, Hanna Zakharenko charted all the movies that were adapted from musicals that were adapted from movies. So the above shows the timelines for original movies. Then the musicals that came after. Then the movies again, with songs. Got it.

Filmmaker Oscar Sharp and technologist Ross Goodwin fed a machine learning algorithm with a bunch of Sci-Fi movie scripts to see what new script it would spit out. A script for Sunspring is the result, and this is the film, starring Thomas Middleditch. Riveting.
The thought of a machine tapping into emotion and creativity likely brings some sneers, but Goodwin argues that it’s about assistance and augmentation rather than a replacement for the humans.
The machine dictated that Middleditch’s character should pull the camera. However, the reveal that he’s holding nothing was a brilliant human interpretation, informed by the production team’s many years of combined experience and education in the art of filmmaking. That cycle of generation and interpretation is a fascinating dialogue that informs my current understanding of this machine’s capacity to augment our creativity.
Yes.
