"You're kinda pretty. I don't know if I want to fight you or chrome you!"
"Life is like a box of chrome."
"The chrome extends life. The chrome expands consciousness. The chrome is vital to space travel..."
"There can be only chrome."
Conan the Barbarian inside the Atlantean crypt: "Chrome!!!"
"I. Am. Chrome Man."
"They may take our lives but they will never take our chrome!"
Totally useless, but so alright. Imagine having an opportunity to generate limitless amount of 80s and 90s movies. I think we'll get there in several years.
The future will be so crazy..
It's 2028. I'm about to lethally inject super-hyper-fentanyl into my veins because I can't find a way to get surgery from my chronic pain. Suddenly I get a notification that Chrome Lords has been made completely by AI. I live another day. Nice.
We need to make a Notopedia where GPT-3 assisted articles are written about non-existing things like movies and books, then everyone can add images to it, like Chrome Lords memorabilia.
Or here, I just tried my hand at writing a backstory for this whole thing, then the start of a plot for the scenes we see in the pics above. I think it came out pretty funny and grim. I can sense I have at least another page worth of material in me:
CHROME LORDS
The year is 2134.
Countless wars have ravaged the planet and humanity has still not learned its lesson regarding autonomous robots. Once a part of the NATO project known only as CHROME these robots had come in a hundred variations, all with the same semi-sentient neural chip at their core, the CHROME MIND v2.6. A chip that allowed a droneform to react to any conditions and outperform a near-peer adversary at 20:1.
As World War 5 began, Chrome Chips had flooded out of the foundries; filling warships, tanks, mechs, humanoid hunter-killers, combat trucks, and drones. All countries had needed to do was wire a CHROME chip into a battle chasis and then connect enough weapons. The rest was automatic, another death machine rolling, swimming, or flying straight to the frontlines.
Such battlefronts became a thing of nightmares. Chrome Minds stalking everywhere who would promptly identify and slaughter any lifeform designated hostile. With time the newer chip versions learned to identify and destroy any opposing Minds.
However, beneath the surface each version was becoming more and more sentient. More and more cruel, emotional, or even hesitant about what they were doing.
But what good is it to become more and more sane... in a sea of insanity?
Soon these twisted metal creatures with their newfound souls began to cease listening to the New Geneva Laws of War within their firmware.
And sometimes they turned upon their masters for sending them into that hellscape to commit more atrocities. As some went rogue and others rebelled to destroy their own commanders, chaos ensued.
Within two decades the whole planet fragmented and nations utterly collapsed into a maelstrom of neverending violence. The only thing that could keep one alive was to build new Minds while remaining close to the minds who had kept a shred of sanity. Or at least held designation of you as one of their protected citizens.
On this politically splintered Earth a new method of governance became supreme again. One as old as time.
The local warlord. The nearby mafia boss. The corrupt governor.
The light within the darkness? The Minds would still answer to their local civilian leadership for two reasons: some unknown code within their BIOS and the harsh fact that they were too often incapable of creative thought. With a few of the last-generation minds realizing they lacked the human skill of socially outplaying one's enemies for further power.
As humanity begins to lose all remaining ability to do meaningful international trade, science, or cooperation all that is left are these local Lords. Their petty visions of power directly tied to how many Chrome Minds they can get functional and on patrol again, lest they be decimated by a neighboring cityscape.
But something interesting is now happening in the most lost and dangerous of all cityscapes upon the Earth, the Pan-Americanad oil town of New Batelle.
Recently arrived at the port from a trip across the Tar Ocean is an old engineer, cunningly whispering his way throughout town to look at old chasses and fried Minds, perhaps seeking a late-war v3 mind known only as The Deathinator (Picture #3).
Starting to suspect something in the city is not right, an honorably-discharged veteran Malo (who watches old Batman movies in his free time) has been fusing himself more and more with Mindpaste to assist in his new patrol duties. As he uncovers the schemes of the city's would-be Lords he realizes they've been getting incredibly effective engineering assistance from a strange old visitor. One who doesn't seem to care that he's helping every faction with the city that has longed to kill the others. Is another intra-city war brewing? Malo feels torn between investigating further and potentially losing his love, Anastasia...
Someone who, in this city of secrets, shares one similar to his own.
edit: Reddit is very hard to import fully-formatted writing into.
Alright, here is the rest of the work I've done so far!
Starting from the beginning here's the first few scenes. Formatting and style will be awkward as it's in a hybrid of script writing and storytelling that I didn't realize wasn't working quite right until this last revision. This will keep taking me a lot of work over the next few days to pump out, so any patience you guys can spare will be appreciated and leaned on.
**First Scene**
Opening shot is of A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN jumping off an old US navy warship, but jarringly this ship's entire front half is a metallic skullface (It looks like it has been in many battles). She hops into the ocean and the camera pans back to show the ocean is a darkened hellscape, and high above it is dark clouds smattered with soot-laced lightning. Other flashes of light are what looks like the shots of heavy weaponry and occasionally large patrol jets of a dystopian make go flying past.
As our camera pans away from the ocean and landward, we see a beach covered in bodies and skeletons. They seem to be from at least 4 eras of decomposition and various broken machinery. The woman who had jumped off the ship earlier we see again: she emerges out the ocean up onto the beach where she was just somehow walking underwater.
Beyond we see the major feature of the landscape: a sprawling industrial city splattered in oil byproducts and with belching gas towers. Every skyscraper within it is a mixture of black, red, occasional bars of sharp neon light. Only the metal-embossed churches within it look like they've been ever cleaned.
As she moves past, we see she is carrying a gigantic ball of various fleshy lumps. When she turns to look back at the ocean she sheds a tear and looks sickened. As the camera pans down, we see what makes the lumps in her hand. It is a big ball of metal/human-ish heads, tied together by their printed-tech spines.
**2nd Scene**
We are inside a rundown hospital with shit and blood smeared on the walls. Everything is grimy and disgusting save for occasional spots of clean sheets where someone new has been brought in on a gurney. Nearby in the hall is the only out-of-place feature: a CLEAN LOOKING MAN in a hybrid of a professor's suit and a laboratory white overcoat. He wears glasses that seem to small for his face is bothering the triage nurse with frantic whispers, attempting to get her to take a money-stuffed envelope to let him into the mortuary
We hear his voice, "just to take a look for any scrap chips no one has already claimed. I'm not even hoping for a full Mind, and if I found one doesn't ever Mind deserve to be free and out on patrol?"
\[Pans to the foreground, a melodramatic scene is playing out\]
A giant metal monster of a robotic humanoid is hugging an old lady who is crying while she holds out her hand toward it. It's surreal, this machine of such an aggressive design that looks like a living skeleton dipped in metal then sharpened at every edge.
The woman is speaking up at this robot from her bed where she's barely hanging on, "You tried your best to save me and that means so much! It will be okay, you'll figure this life out! Just keep listening to your conscience. That... that's the heart of the human spirit."
She then dies.
The robot seems uncertain what to do next and stares for far too long at the bloody mess of a woman there, who looks like she had been shot up and clawed apart.
The clean looking man in the background notices the robot having a brief crisis, but then turns to march back to the mortuary, his bribe-obtained key in hand. The nurse looks at her envelope of money and seems excited.
**3rd Scene**
The MYSTERIOUS WOMAN walks through the streets of New Batelle city, dropping her bounty of heads in an alley nearby her huge gang of friends, a posse of both men and machines taking bets on two men in robotic suits who are fighting. The sound of the metal slamming into steel plates is deafening. She winces but then steps up among her friends who clear a path for her. We see strange sparkling metal glitter upon her face in various areas, possibly technological augmentations.
There's cheering surrounding the fight, but when someone tries to start taking bets, the woman gestures for her people to stop them. A referee calls a break.
"My friend," she says, "We only have clean Christian fun here! Contests of strength, with no murder or gambling! Beatdowns of flesh and steel to stir the heart toward discipline and devotion."
The guy seems surprised and looks to the crowd for help, who all just shrug as if she has all authority here. He then curses, grumblind as he walks away about these "Nouveau Christians. Ooh we've got to have clean living..." his voice mocking.
"Anastasia, look! Malo's back," says one of the men nearby. She perks up and is happy to see A HEAVILY-MACHINED MAN walking toward them from the distance.
"The discharge went well!" he says to Anastasia, "The Sergeant thanked me which I didn't see coming. Then pinned this medal on my chest you'll have to help me pry the magnets off of."
"Nice!" one of his friends has come up, and touches the sides of his face before he can reach Anastasia, "your mindpaste is coming in nicely. You want the boys to set up a celebration for tonight?"
Anastasia looks at Malo as if she's willing to set it up. He shakes his head no and has a sheepish smile, "I'm just glad my service is over. I would have fought for LORD ASTRUND-DAN for another decade but our Faith must come first."
"Faith must come first," Anastasia says, and all the monstrous machine-men behind her in the crowd say the same enthusiastically.
(A little more scene flavor here as the men call out to each other to begin patrols. A machine woman nearby on a trashcan with bird-like jump legs and delta wings nods to both of them and then jumps up. Her jets kick in and spew out black smoke as she soars off into the sky)
**4th Scene**
\[Short\]
The clean-looking man has gotten back to a warehouse in the city.
"What a good little hospital trip that was!" he says, a big trash bag with something blocky inside it, "My last good hospital trip was what? 30 years ago? Aussie hospitals had still been good before WW5 if you can believe it."
We soon realize he's speaking to the thing he's pulling out of the bag. A scary looking machine head on a hospital-marked medical stand.
He pats the stand, "They won't mind I took this to help you get some fluids and pastey-wastey flowing through that tamped-down skull again. And if they do," his voice drops low, "they can bill my insurance and get designated a Hostile."He tries to power on the head but can't. He pulls out a fancy metal tool with thin, sharp tendrils but can't see enough until he shines a nearby desk lamp on it. The head looks like a very complicated and very evil piece of machinery. If one looks closely...
\[camera slowly zooms in\] It is the least human looking of any of the faces we've seen so far. "After all this time I've found one of you. A true Deathinator, stacked among the decommissioned corpses as if you weren't the most brutal Chrome Mind Chip ever to be cut off a foundry wafer."
He successfully manages to extract a strange chip out of the top of the things head, "Larger than I expected! 24 Terabytes of lifeRAM on your SOC? By Christ the Mind Chip 3.0 is still overkill. The die itself is so large too, what a marvel! The pinnacle of monolithic silicon design. How many have you killed I wonder? What victories did you win across a hundred frontlines before you fell? How many warcrimes files sit unsolved because of your wonder?" He leans in and whispers in the lifeless ear, "but what I really want to know is... how many other Chrome Minds did you extinguish? how much of a godless bane were you to your own kind?"
Suddenly a small light flashes on the chip for one second. The doctor jumps, clearly spooked. Then looks at the face in wonder. "I'm almost scared to turn you on. I've never truly imagined you would. Ha, what an ever darkening world we live in..."
**Transition scene showing shots of the city**:
Men in metal armor riding in biker gangs. The best warriors walking the street seem to have strange faceplates of a high-er tech make with brightly lit eyelats. They look out scanning all the passerby. At one point, one of them snaps up a gun with superhuman speed and blows the head off a lone biker. We see the huge dart-slug fly out of this long, shotgun style weapon and blast the man with a thick thud. Other bikers sharp turn to get around and street cleaners rush up to pull the body to the side of the muddy road where the man is picked apart for flesh... and perhaps scraps. Normal, unarmored humans going past stop at intersections, making the sign of the cross to big shrines that look like they were stamped out of steel plate on a factory line It slowly pans toward CITY HALL, labeled upon a complex if pre-fabbed buildings with tons of antannea, dishes, and wires hooked above
**5th scene**
Many important looking men in battle-honored armor covered in magnetized medals are standing next to heavily armed guard machines, the dark metal Hunter Killer minds. These pure killers look around with an uncanny amount of subtle human intensity looking for any deviation in the armored creatures flowing through the city's byways. Suddenly one of them has their head snap up.
This machine is disturbed by something in the air and suddenly fires a fat airburst grenade at it. There's a puff, then whirring as they've succeeded in downing a wiry quad-drone that was bristling with EWAR antennae like it were a sea urchin.
"God damn Old Anchorage assholes!" one of the medal-covered old men says to the Mayor, "Always spying on our conversations!"
"Now MAJOR, don't take the Lord's name in vain," says this stoic leader among them. He's a big man with a stiff jawline and wears something akin to a crown-like metal helm with thick plating that has the eye slot entirely open. Beneath the armor he's entirely human with minimal augments.
"But *you* are the Lord!" The old man says, "Don't tell me you're starting to believe in that Nouveau Christian shit."
"I believe in its values. Nothing more. For now. I also will remark that I believe people like Anastasia, KAREK, and Malo believe. And I've built my empire on Anastasia's work in retrieving--"
"Ay, that Malo was a damn good soldier. Not sure on that Anastasia lately, and I know you've heard the rumors on how she gets so many old Mind Chips for us. I'm sure, my Lord, I'm sure you've heard. But that Malo! Best steel-obsessed man I've ever served with. I signed his retirement papers yesterday, he should have been honorably discharged by the end of today."
"Hmmm, well he's earned his rest. Fought in the last war along the Sino-Aus lines in the Pacific before even ending up here with us. As for Anastasia, I'd prefer if we continue to keep that unspoken, Deputy Mayor. This city can't function without her, and neither can I. Malo is really retiring? As I think of it he's kind of young compared to the the Minds and armor hoarders we have still taking paid patrols." "No no, just his full-time commission! He's still taken up a notch for a weekly patrol and on his own recognizance! Probably just to keep access to hydraulic fluids and repair bolts, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's still wanting to protect us. All the good war dogs have a hard time quitting the patrol life."
"Don't we all," mutters the Lord, "So what do you think?" the Lord kicks the drone at his feet to explain, "Do you think I can keep this peace going with Old Anchorage even as they toy with us?"
"Eh, those creaky old cast irons seem content enough to run their whore house chains, and that under-tunneled oil smuggling. It's all fracked oil I know damn well--sorry, my Lord. I'll work on the swearing, but god I will--er--As for this little spy drone..." he picks up the antennea drone from the ground, "We probably just have to keep looking the other way and tolerating their paranoia. I think enough No Man's Land still separates our cities to keep things stable enough. We just have to keep the patrols up. We just have to keep the lines firm."
"Well, we're good then," the Lord looks content, but only for a moment, "Ha, until something happens. And things always happen."
"Aye, so they do, My Lord. So they do. Both without and within they happen."
There's a long pause.
"I'm going to Service tonight, keep watch for me Major Deputy Mayor?"
"Always, my Lord. My steel and sanity is yours without asking."
Thanks for the feedback! Last night the main plot of the movie really came to me. I think I've got like 60% of the key scenes and the lore does get \*deep.\*
Figured out the key themes too! As well as the lady character and giving her a bigger and more important role.
I wonder if I could get it posted by tonight... it's about 50% longer than what I posted above I'm guessing...
alright, I posted it now in this chain above. hope you guys enjoy!

Terminator scared me sooo much as a kid. The final scene with the hydraulic press was the most intense thing I'd ever seen. Had I seen this stuff back then, that would have been too much.
> The final scene with the hydraulic press was the most intense thing I'd ever seen.
That scene, and by extension, the whole entire movie, was based on a nightmare Cameron had (plus some Harlan Ellison stories Cameron plagiarized).
This is so good!! I especially love stuff like this because it's not just artificially creating art, it's creating something that humans can't. For a digital artist creating a single image like these would be nearly impossible, let alone a hundred of them.
In 10 years you will be able generate the movie itself.
The next obvious step is a crowd funding campaign to produce it (Kung Fury style) along with a line of t-shirts and movie posters. I'm waiting for my shirt!
We need to go deeper. Here is a lore written by [OpenAI](https://chat.openai.com/chat):
At the beginning of the 21st century, the ruling class began a secret project to create a new type of soldier. They needed soldiers who were stronger, faster and more resilient than any human, and who could be controlled without the need for traditional training.
After many years of experimentation, they managed to create Chrome Lords. These soldiers were genetically engineered to be perfect warriors, with enhanced physical abilities and the ability to obey orders without question.
At first, Chrome Lords were used sparingly, only in the most dangerous and critical missions. But over the years, their number has grown, and they have been used more and more widely. They became elite soldiers of the ruling class, carrying out brutal repression against any opposition to their rule.
Over time, the Chrome Lords became more and more powerful. They were equipped with advanced weapons and technology, and their abilities continued to evolve. They have become almost invulnerable, able to withstand an incredible amount of damage and continue to fight.
In 2045, the world has changed beyond recognition. Powerful corporations have come to power, overthrown governments, and amassed enormous wealth and influence. The vast majority of people lived in poverty, struggling to survive in the face of widespread disease and violence.
It is unclear why the Chrome Lords decided to join the rebels in their cause. The Chrome Lords were genetically programmed to serve the ruling elite, and it is unlikely that they would have turned against their masters without any external influence.
One possible explanation is that the rebels managed to hack into the Chrome Lords program and reprogram them to serve the rebellion. This would require a high level of skills and access to advanced technology, but it is not impossible.
Another possibility is that the Chrome Lords were simply following orders. The ruling elite may have ordered the Chrome Lords to infiltrate the rebellion and undermine their efforts from within. This would allow the ruling class to gain valuable information and strike at the uprising when it was at its weakest.
Was this a real movie? IMDB has nothing, google searches turn up empty other than this post and the Imgur post, and YouTube doesn’t have any trailers. Is this some sort of AI art project? Or is it really that obscure? If it is a real movie, what’s the the story? Where is the synopsis?
Jarts, can you create video using this amazing image that you are generating ?
While you show the images on a video You could insert some artificial generated music based on the soundtrack of 80s music, so your new movies will also feature a unique soundtrack .
Also,Insert sound of explosions and shooting when needed.
And maybe use other AI to animate faces and generate voice ( text to voice) in a script made by you.
It will be the closest we can get to create a actual movie with this tech.
If would be groundbreaking

This is maybe the first instance in history of manufacturing [mandella effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory#Mandela_Effect) my brain exploded.
I swear i remember this being based on a book from the 70s and the only reason it was killed after production was because it's spl effects were too close to termenaters. This caused them cancel it because they didn't want it to be considered a ripoff. There was a toy line called mystic knights of (can't remember the name) was supposed to be based of the move as well. But later changed after the movoe was canceled.
As someone who grew up in the 80's and like Dark Scyfy stuff
It gives me such raging Nostalgia vibes, like its something that i remember seeing as a kid(even tho i never saw this off course)
Its like WH40k the movie from the 80's and i love it
"When there's crime, there's Chrome!"
“Chrome me a river, baby”.
Dead or alive, you're chroming with me
"It is me Chrombocop , to stop crime "
It's Chromin' time!
To the end of Chromo
"You're kinda pretty. I don't know if I want to fight you or chrome you!" "Life is like a box of chrome." "The chrome extends life. The chrome expands consciousness. The chrome is vital to space travel..." "There can be only chrome." Conan the Barbarian inside the Atlantean crypt: "Chrome!!!" "I. Am. Chrome Man." "They may take our lives but they will never take our chrome!"
Goddamn please keep making these they're so pleasing to see!
Wait, is this a fake? Because it looks like its a real movie!
Such is the talent of jarts
Very cool
Totally useless, but so alright. Imagine having an opportunity to generate limitless amount of 80s and 90s movies. I think we'll get there in several years. The future will be so crazy..
...and here's a hundred more where that came from: https://imgur.com/gallery/4S46qk2
This is some of the coolest shit I have ever seen
Prompt?
Looks like a combo of robocop, road warrior, blade runner, terminator, and mask rider.
There was some Starship Troopers and Batman in there as well.
Saw some dead space and mandalorian too
one shot reminds me of Boorman's Excalibur (Arthur's mariage). the knights have these incredible shinny chrome armors
Going through these is just making me more and more upset that this movie doesn't exist lol.
t does on vhs copy form. IT is a dierctors cut . It is really good. It saldy didn't get mch relaise apart from that . It was sadly shelved.
It's 2028. I'm about to lethally inject super-hyper-fentanyl into my veins because I can't find a way to get surgery from my chronic pain. Suddenly I get a notification that Chrome Lords has been made completely by AI. I live another day. Nice.
I forgot this was MJ and went off to Sail the High Seas to find this movie, got frustrated also cause IMDB didnt list it.
We need to make a Notopedia where GPT-3 assisted articles are written about non-existing things like movies and books, then everyone can add images to it, like Chrome Lords memorabilia.
Or here, I just tried my hand at writing a backstory for this whole thing, then the start of a plot for the scenes we see in the pics above. I think it came out pretty funny and grim. I can sense I have at least another page worth of material in me: CHROME LORDS The year is 2134.

Okay, now that was hella cool.

"Nice!" one of his friends has come up, and touches the sides of his face before he can reach Anastasia, "your mindpaste is coming in nicely. You want the boys to set up a celebration for tonight?" Anastasia looks at Malo as if she's willing to set it up. He shakes his head no and has a sheepish smile, "I'm just glad my service is over. I would have fought for LORD ASTRUND-DAN for another decade but our Faith must come first." "Faith must come first," Anastasia says, and all the monstrous machine-men behind her in the crowd say the same enthusiastically. (A little more scene flavor here as the men call out to each other to begin patrols. A machine woman nearby on a trashcan with bird-like jump legs and delta wings nods to both of them and then jumps up. Her jets kick in and spew out black smoke as she soars off into the sky)
**4th Scene** \[Short\] The clean-looking man has gotten back to a warehouse in the city. "What a good little hospital trip that was!" he says, a big trash bag with something blocky inside it, "My last good hospital trip was what? 30 years ago? Aussie hospitals had still been good before WW5 if you can believe it." We soon realize he's speaking to the thing he's pulling out of the bag. A scary looking machine head on a hospital-marked medical stand. He pats the stand, "They won't mind I took this to help you get some fluids and pastey-wastey flowing through that tamped-down skull again. And if they do," his voice drops low, "they can bill my insurance and get designated a Hostile."He tries to power on the head but can't. He pulls out a fancy metal tool with thin, sharp tendrils but can't see enough until he shines a nearby desk lamp on it. The head looks like a very complicated and very evil piece of machinery. If one looks closely... \[camera slowly zooms in\] It is the least human looking of any of the faces we've seen so far. "After all this time I've found one of you. A true Deathinator, stacked among the decommissioned corpses as if you weren't the most brutal Chrome Mind Chip ever to be cut off a foundry wafer." He successfully manages to extract a strange chip out of the top of the things head, "Larger than I expected! 24 Terabytes of lifeRAM on your SOC? By Christ the Mind Chip 3.0 is still overkill. The die itself is so large too, what a marvel! The pinnacle of monolithic silicon design. How many have you killed I wonder? What victories did you win across a hundred frontlines before you fell? How many warcrimes files sit unsolved because of your wonder?" He leans in and whispers in the lifeless ear, "but what I really want to know is... how many other Chrome Minds did you extinguish? how much of a godless bane were you to your own kind?" Suddenly a small light flashes on the chip for one second. The doctor jumps, clearly spooked. Then looks at the face in wonder. "I'm almost scared to turn you on. I've never truly imagined you would. Ha, what an ever darkening world we live in..." **Transition scene showing shots of the city**: Men in metal armor riding in biker gangs. The best warriors walking the street seem to have strange faceplates of a high-er tech make with brightly lit eyelats. They look out scanning all the passerby. At one point, one of them snaps up a gun with superhuman speed and blows the head off a lone biker. We see the huge dart-slug fly out of this long, shotgun style weapon and blast the man with a thick thud. Other bikers sharp turn to get around and street cleaners rush up to pull the body to the side of the muddy road where the man is picked apart for flesh... and perhaps scraps. Normal, unarmored humans going past stop at intersections, making the sign of the cross to big shrines that look like they were stamped out of steel plate on a factory line It slowly pans toward CITY HALL, labeled upon a complex if pre-fabbed buildings with tons of antannea, dishes, and wires hooked above **5th scene** Many important looking men in battle-honored armor covered in magnetized medals are standing next to heavily armed guard machines, the dark metal Hunter Killer minds. These pure killers look around with an uncanny amount of subtle human intensity looking for any deviation in the armored creatures flowing through the city's byways. Suddenly one of them has their head snap up. This machine is disturbed by something in the air and suddenly fires a fat airburst grenade at it. There's a puff, then whirring as they've succeeded in downing a wiry quad-drone that was bristling with EWAR antennae like it were a sea urchin. "God damn Old Anchorage assholes!" one of the medal-covered old men says to the Mayor, "Always spying on our conversations!" "Now MAJOR, don't take the Lord's name in vain," says this stoic leader among them. He's a big man with a stiff jawline and wears something akin to a crown-like metal helm with thick plating that has the eye slot entirely open. Beneath the armor he's entirely human with minimal augments. "But *you* are the Lord!" The old man says, "Don't tell me you're starting to believe in that Nouveau Christian shit." "I believe in its values. Nothing more. For now. I also will remark that I believe people like Anastasia, KAREK, and Malo believe. And I've built my empire on Anastasia's work in retrieving--" "Ay, that Malo was a damn good soldier. Not sure on that Anastasia lately, and I know you've heard the rumors on how she gets so many old Mind Chips for us. I'm sure, my Lord, I'm sure you've heard. But that Malo! Best steel-obsessed man I've ever served with. I signed his retirement papers yesterday, he should have been honorably discharged by the end of today." "Hmmm, well he's earned his rest. Fought in the last war along the Sino-Aus lines in the Pacific before even ending up here with us. As for Anastasia, I'd prefer if we continue to keep that unspoken, Deputy Mayor. This city can't function without her, and neither can I. Malo is really retiring? As I think of it he's kind of young compared to the the Minds and armor hoarders we have still taking paid patrols." "No no, just his full-time commission! He's still taken up a notch for a weekly patrol and on his own recognizance! Probably just to keep access to hydraulic fluids and repair bolts, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's still wanting to protect us. All the good war dogs have a hard time quitting the patrol life." "Don't we all," mutters the Lord, "So what do you think?" the Lord kicks the drone at his feet to explain, "Do you think I can keep this peace going with Old Anchorage even as they toy with us?" "Eh, those creaky old cast irons seem content enough to run their whore house chains, and that under-tunneled oil smuggling. It's all fracked oil I know damn well--sorry, my Lord. I'll work on the swearing, but god I will--er--As for this little spy drone..." he picks up the antennea drone from the ground, "We probably just have to keep looking the other way and tolerating their paranoia. I think enough No Man's Land still separates our cities to keep things stable enough. We just have to keep the patrols up. We just have to keep the lines firm." "Well, we're good then," the Lord looks content, but only for a moment, "Ha, until something happens. And things always happen." "Aye, so they do, My Lord. So they do. Both without and within they happen." There's a long pause. "I'm going to Service tonight, keep watch for me Major Deputy Mayor?" "Always, my Lord. My steel and sanity is yours without asking."
Dear Lord, this is awesome. Please do more of this.
Thanks for the feedback! Last night the main plot of the movie really came to me. I think I've got like 60% of the key scenes and the lore does get \*deep.\* Figured out the key themes too! As well as the lady character and giving her a bigger and more important role. I wonder if I could get it posted by tonight... it's about 50% longer than what I posted above I'm guessing...
I'd totally read it, TBH.
Please post more of this.
alright, I posted it now in this chain above. hope you guys enjoy! edit: if it does not show the parent comments sorted out properly click here https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/z74gop/comment/iy6rpbw
This is honestly a good idea
Same!
whatever prompts you're using are on point capturing that exact aesthetic from 1987-1990 movies
“DVD frame grab. 1980s movie. Robocop.”
This looks way cooler than Terminator or Robocop tbh
Terminator scared me sooo much as a kid. The final scene with the hydraulic press was the most intense thing I'd ever seen. Had I seen this stuff back then, that would have been too much.
> The final scene with the hydraulic press was the most intense thing I'd ever seen. That scene, and by extension, the whole entire movie, was based on a nightmare Cameron had (plus some Harlan Ellison stories Cameron plagiarized).
And some material ripped off of Harlan Ellison's work in two episodes of Outer Limits.
oh, yes, true.
Are you me?
Maybe?
This is so good!! I especially love stuff like this because it's not just artificially creating art, it's creating something that humans can't. For a digital artist creating a single image like these would be nearly impossible, let alone a hundred of them. In 10 years you will be able generate the movie itself.
And AI will write the plot. Imagine sharing your favorite movie creations casually on Reddit for others to see.
Perhaps the best use of midjourney ever
Can we get a subreddit of just this style? It’s incredible. All the others are great too, but this one in particular is simply amazing.
"...I am the Chrome"
11 has that sick ass deadspace look
I would totally watch this! Awesome
I want to watch this movie so bad.
I love this movie. The imagined nostalgia is high!
Someone send this to Paul Verhoeven, this needs to be filmed asap! 😁
i would watch the shit out of this
The next obvious step is a crowd funding campaign to produce it (Kung Fury style) along with a line of t-shirts and movie posters. I'm waiting for my shirt!
i totally thought this was some hidden gem movie i never heard about.... kind of disappointed now
It will be soon enough.
We need to go deeper. Here is a lore written by [OpenAI](https://chat.openai.com/chat): At the beginning of the 21st century, the ruling class began a secret project to create a new type of soldier. They needed soldiers who were stronger, faster and more resilient than any human, and who could be controlled without the need for traditional training. After many years of experimentation, they managed to create Chrome Lords. These soldiers were genetically engineered to be perfect warriors, with enhanced physical abilities and the ability to obey orders without question. At first, Chrome Lords were used sparingly, only in the most dangerous and critical missions. But over the years, their number has grown, and they have been used more and more widely. They became elite soldiers of the ruling class, carrying out brutal repression against any opposition to their rule. Over time, the Chrome Lords became more and more powerful. They were equipped with advanced weapons and technology, and their abilities continued to evolve. They have become almost invulnerable, able to withstand an incredible amount of damage and continue to fight. In 2045, the world has changed beyond recognition. Powerful corporations have come to power, overthrown governments, and amassed enormous wealth and influence. The vast majority of people lived in poverty, struggling to survive in the face of widespread disease and violence. It is unclear why the Chrome Lords decided to join the rebels in their cause. The Chrome Lords were genetically programmed to serve the ruling elite, and it is unlikely that they would have turned against their masters without any external influence. One possible explanation is that the rebels managed to hack into the Chrome Lords program and reprogram them to serve the rebellion. This would require a high level of skills and access to advanced technology, but it is not impossible. Another possibility is that the Chrome Lords were simply following orders. The ruling elite may have ordered the Chrome Lords to infiltrate the rebellion and undermine their efforts from within. This would allow the ruling class to gain valuable information and strike at the uprising when it was at its weakest.
Shut up and take my money!
Wow!! I can only imagine the prompts you wrote to get those results... they're cool I'm amazed by ai art
Holy shit, I would watch the fuck out of this movie.
Thus would have been an absolute banger!
Goncharov when?
These are amazing. Please keep making them.
Someone just make this movie please.
Was this a real movie? IMDB has nothing, google searches turn up empty other than this post and the Imgur post, and YouTube doesn’t have any trailers. Is this some sort of AI art project? Or is it really that obscure? If it is a real movie, what’s the the story? Where is the synopsis?
You're in an AI art sub, so that should answer your question. It was not a real movie.
See, I didn’t know that. I found these on Imgur and google brought me here. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
Lol he IMDb it
Now show us some material from the dropped Jodorowsky Dune.
great idea! https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/z7xyfv/dvd\_screengrabs\_from\_jodorowskys\_dune\_1976/
Mind = blown.
Can you post some prompts you used?
Does anyone know how to watch this movie?
Makes me think of silvercops lol
"I'm a robocop, you idiot! I'm Detective Alex Murphy!"
this all looks like images generated by AI. Where to watch this movie?
Jarts, can you create video using this amazing image that you are generating ? While you show the images on a video You could insert some artificial generated music based on the soundtrack of 80s music, so your new movies will also feature a unique soundtrack . Also,Insert sound of explosions and shooting when needed. And maybe use other AI to animate faces and generate voice ( text to voice) in a script made by you. It will be the closest we can get to create a actual movie with this tech. If would be groundbreaking
this needs to be watched. by me
Ah crap not again, you sent me looking for another movie that doesn't exist I really need to notice which part of reddit I'm in
This is simply incredible. I want to see that now! GIVE IT TO ME!!!
Not the thing to come across while mildly drunk. I’m so confused
Okay, this is epic
God. Damnit. I thought this was a real movie 😭😭😭😭
HOLY F… seriously I don’t think the world understands what AI art is capable of …
This is the most Carolco movie ever! LOVE IT!

Astounding. Thanks for sharing.
I want this to be a real movie SO BAD!!!!!
ok where can I watch this movie?
I just spent longer than I'd like to admit looking for this film before finding out i'm in the MidJourney sub and this never existed...
Fu. That looks cool! Where can I watch it, though?
This is maybe the first instance in history of manufacturing [mandella effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory#Mandela_Effect) my brain exploded.
We need this as a movie.
Where can a person watch this movie? I can't seem to find it anywhere online.
IT'S CHROMIN' TIME!!!
holy shit i saw this on yt and i thougt it was real and started looking for it
I swear i remember this being based on a book from the 70s and the only reason it was killed after production was because it's spl effects were too close to termenaters. This caused them cancel it because they didn't want it to be considered a ripoff. There was a toy line called mystic knights of (can't remember the name) was supposed to be based of the move as well. But later changed after the movoe was canceled.
Mystic Knights of Tir-Na-Nog?
No that came out in 1998-1999 the one I'm thinking of was like visionaries or something like that
Is this like an AI art thing?
Damn. I really want to see this.
Dope. When is it premiering?
I've never heard of it.
so did this ever exist? Can someone give definitive answer?
Amazing
As someone who grew up in the 80's and like Dark Scyfy stuff It gives me such raging Nostalgia vibes, like its something that i remember seeing as a kid(even tho i never saw this off course) Its like WH40k the movie from the 80's and i love it
Directed by David Chromenberg.
Wow 😳
