Summer Of Psychedelia - ChatGPT inspired Movie & Soundtrack

The Soundtrack on Spotify

Let's ask Open AI to create a movie and corresponding soundtrack album.  I asked the following questions of ChatGPT and these are the answers the AI provided.  My questions are in Italics.  

Let's create a fictional movie for a yet to be written 60's coming of age story that follows our lead character and a typical midwestern family struggling to adapt to the changes as the world moved from black and white to psychedelic color through multiple summer beach vacations.

Title: Summer of Psychedelia 

Opening Scene: 

The camera pans over a typical midwestern town in the early 60s, with neat rows of houses and picket fences. The opening credits play over the soundtrack of "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix. We see our lead character, a teenage boy named Jack, sitting on his porch listening to the song on his portable radio. Jack is captivated by the music and the feeling it evokes. He looks out at the world and wonders what it would be like to experience something more. 

 Act 1: 

The story begins with Jack and his family on their annual summer beach vacation. They are staying in a small cabin on the shore. Jack is bored and restless, and he can't wait to get out and explore. He meets a group of older teenagers who introduce him to marijuana and psychedelic music. Jack is drawn to this new world of freedom and experimentation. He begins to see the world in a new way and becomes fascinated with the idea of breaking away from his small-town life. 

 Act 2: 

As the summers progress, Jack becomes more and more involved with his new friends and their lifestyle. He spends his days on the beach listening to the music of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and The Grateful Dead. He experiments with LSD and other drugs, and his perceptions of reality become increasingly altered. Jack's family becomes worried about him and tries to intervene, but Jack resists their attempts to control him. He sees them as being trapped in a narrow-minded, conformist world and he wants nothing to do with it. 

 Act 3: 

As the summer comes to an end, Jack faces a crisis. He realizes that he can't stay in this world forever, but he doesn't know how to return to his old life. He feels like he's caught between two worlds and he doesn't know where he belongs. He has a heart-to-heart conversation with his father, who helps him see that there is a way to find a balance between the old and the new. Jack returns home with a newfound sense of purpose and a determination to create a life that reflects his own values. 

Closing Scene:

The film ends with Jack walking down the street in his hometown, listening to "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" by Scott McKenzie. The camera pans out to show the town in all its small-town simplicity, but the music and the colors of the 60s suggest a world of infinite possibilities. The future is uncertain, but Jack is ready to embrace it with open arms.

Can you write a script for the movie?  - It did in a manner of minutes however I have chosen not to post it as it is a bit lengthy but with a few tweaks would work really well. It laid out the scene, the characters, the dialogue and suggested camera angles.  It read much like a play.      

Can you recommend some current actors and actresses that would be a good fit for roles in the movie?

Sure! Here are some current actors and actresses who could potentially be a good fit for roles in the "Summer of Psychedelia" movie: 

Jack, the lead character: Timothée Chalamet, Lucas Hedges, Asa Butterfield, or Noah Jupe 

Jack's mother: Laura Dern, Julianne Moore, or Cate Blanchett 

Jack's father: Mark Ruffalo, John Krasinski, or Bradley Cooper 

Jack's older sister: Saoirse Ronan, Emma Stone, or Florence Pugh 

Jack's love interest: Zendaya, Kiernan Shipka, or Anya Taylor-Joy 

Jack's best friend: Ansel Elgort, Tye Sheridan, or Charlie Heaton 

The family's eccentric neighbor: Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray, or Christopher Walken 

The local beach bum: Shia LaBeouf, Ezra Miller, or Robert Pattinson 

Of course, casting ultimately depends on the director's vision for the movie and the specific characteristics of each character.

Can you recommend a director for the film? 

Sure! Here are a few potential directors who could bring the "Summer of Psychedelia" movie to life:

Wes Anderson: Known for his quirky and whimsical style, Anderson could bring a unique and stylized vision to the movie's midwestern setting and 60s era. 

Greta Gerwig: Gerwig has shown her ability to capture the coming-of-age experience in films like "Lady Bird" and "Little Women," making her a strong candidate to direct the story of Jack and his family. 

Richard Linklater: With films like "Dazed and Confused" and "Boyhood," Linklater has proven his ability to capture the feeling of a specific time and place, making him a potential fit for the movie's 60s setting. 

Sofia Coppola: Coppola's films often explore themes of youth and rebellion, making her a potential fit for the movie's coming-of-age story and countercultural themes. 

Noah Baumbach: Baumbach's films often feature complex family dynamics and character-driven stories, making him a potential fit for the movie's focus on Jack and his family. 

Of course, the director ultimately depends on the specific vision for the movie and the style and tone that the filmmakers want to achieve.

Can you create a movie poster for the movie? 

Unfortunately, as an AI language model, I cannot create visual content. However, I can provide a description for a potential movie poster: The poster features an image of Jack standing on the beach, with his back facing the camera, looking out towards the ocean. The beach is filled with young people in brightly colored clothing, some lounging on the sand, others dancing to the music. The poster's background is a gradient of colors, starting with black and white at the bottom and transitioning to psychedelic colors at the top. The title of the movie, "Summer of Psychedelia," is written in bold, psychedelic font at the top of the poster. The tagline, "From black and white to psychedelic color," is written in smaller font at the bottom.

Can you create a musical soundtrack for the movie using music from the era? 

Absolutely! Here's a list of songs from the 1960s that could be included in the "Summer of Psychedelia" movie soundtrack.   

Can you recommend how to sequence the songs you recommended for the soundtrack? 

Sure! Here's a potential sequence for the songs I recommended for the "Summer of Psychedelia" movie soundtrack.  This sequence starts with some mellow songs that capture the carefree spirit of the 60s, then builds up to some more intense and psychedelic songs, before settling back down with some classic rock and roll tunes. Of course, the order of the songs ultimately depends on the specific scenes and moments in the movie where they will be used.:
