‘A Long Time Ago in a Middle-Earth Far, Far Away...’ Star Wars Meets LOTR in AI-Generated Trailer (WATCH)

A new AI-generated movie trailer has blended the exciting worlds of author J.R.R. Tolkien (as visualized by movie director Peter Jackson) and filmmaker George Lucas. It’s a marvelous mashup of The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. AI is here, and it is advancing at an exponential rate. A few years ago, the trailer you are about to see would have been impossible without scores of actors, artists, production crews, and loads of cash. Now it can be conjured like magic. Take that, Gandalf!

Here’s the trailer to The Lord of the Force: A New Fellowship. (WATCH)

Best experienced with death sticks and pipeweed. Guess it would be called ‘death-weed’ in this mashup cinematic universe.

Unsurprisingly, most commenters are ready to part with Mount Doom-sized mountains of money to see this full film realized on the big screen.

'That’ll be one Arkenstone and a trillion Imperial credits, please.'

Not everyone was thrilled and ready to call the movie, ‘My Precious.’

That’s the Orc side of the Force talking.

Those who loved the movie mashup were raving about the best parts.

Hope their aim is better than Stormtroopers.

Some posters couldn’t help but share the obvious.

Or that cruddy The Rings of Power slop from Amazon.

No matter how one feels, we’re on the cusp of a new form of large-scale movie-making at the fingertips of the common man, Hobbit or Wookie.

‘Trust your feelings, Frodo.’ We saw that in an AI-generated movie trailer once.
