AI vs Hollywood: Wanted... pt 2

In this episode of Geeks From The Multiverse, AI vs Hollywood returns to MISSING..., but this time we're taking the movie off the page and figuring out what it would actually take to bring it to theaters. We cast Jon Bernthal, Miles Teller, Rebecca Ferguson, Kaitlyn Dever, Neal McDonough, and Pruitt Taylor Vince, put David Fincher behind the camera, and break down the production choices that could make the movie feel raw, authentic, and real—from shooting Louisiana and recreating four decades to costumes, sets, props, police consultants, firearms training, cinematography, and budget. The story is written; now the question is whether we can actually make the damn movie better than Hollywood would. 👍 If you’re listening on YouTube, jam that like button and subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes.

AI vs Hollywood: Wanted...

In this episode of Geeks From The Multiverse, AI vs Hollywood takes on the crime thriller as we create MISSING..., an original story about a veteran homicide detective, a decades-old series of murders, and the case he was never able to leave behind. We break down the complete movie—from the investigation and characters to the obsession, family damage, moral ambiguity, and an ending designed to leave you arguing about what really happened long after the credits roll. Can AI create a crime thriller with the tension of Se7en, the obsession of Zodiac, and the atmosphere of True Detective while still becoming something entirely its own? 👍 If you’re listening on YouTube, jam that like button and subscribe so you don’t miss Part 2 or future episodes. 🎧 Check out our GFTM podcast hub for episodes, Evolve, merch, books, and more at geeksfromthemultiverse.com.
