Website Home (ChinaZ.com) June 14 News: Recently, an X user created a movie trailer titled "Cyberlord of the Chips" by leveraging AI technology, boldly blending the Middle-earth of "The Lord of the Rings" with the worldview of "Cyberpunk 2077," garnering widespread attention. This trailer, utilizing tools like Midjourney, Runaway, and Elevenlabs, showcases a brand-new story of The Lord of the Rings with a cyberpunk style.
In this AI-created trailer, the original journey to destroy the ring is reimagined as an adventure to find a deadly chip. The vast lands and ancient castles of Middle-earth are replaced with neon lights and skyscrapers of cyberpunk, and the characters are reshaped in a cyberpunk style. Frodo becomes a net-stalker, Aragorn and Legolas transform into a swordsman and a sniper, respectively, with the goal of infiltrating the Arasaka Tower to insert the chip into the AI core, thereby thwarting Sauron's evil plan.
The trailer's visual effects are astonishing, with towering buildings, dark and damp ground floors, and neon-lit streets creating a scene full of excitement and tension. The reactions of netizens to this trailer are mixed. Some believe it is an inspiration to the film industry, potentially revolutionizing movie-making like CGI technology; others think that AI-produced trailers can help directors imagine the style and tone of a film without actual footage.
However, there are also views that this trailer is poor, with AI-created images failing to resonate and issues with copyright regarding adaptations of classic works. Despite the controversy, "Cyberlord of the Chips" undoubtedly showcases the rapid development of AI technology in image generation, providing us with an exploration of the future possibilities of film.
The success or failure of this trailer also sparks discussions about the relationship between technological advancement and the uniqueness, artistic depth, and human depth of film. While pursuing technological development, how to ensure the depth and emotional resonance of film works is a question worth pondering. "Cyberlord of the Chips" is not only a demonstration of the potential of AI technology but also a contemplation of the future direction of film creation.
