An AI version of Milton’s Paradise Lost is fundamentally unworthy of one of the great works of art

Even notoriously unfilmable works can eventually find adaptation success with the right direction, budget, and technology, as seen in the re-imagining of The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson.
The various attempts to adapt “Dune” demonstrate that despite talent and technology, poor acting and exposition can compromise a film’s success, until Villeneuve’s recent adaptation.
Roger Avary plans to bring Milton’s “Paradise Lost” to the big screen using AI, raising questions about AI’s potential to create art and if it can capture the epic depth and unique nature of such works.
While AI filmmaking shows promise, current examples still require human input, and there’s skepticism about AI’s ability to create soulful and unique art compared to traditional human creativity.
The idea of using AI to adapt a complex, blasphemous work like “Paradise Lost” is both intriguing and controversial, raising concerns about the uniqueness and integrity of the resulting film.
