According to Reuters, Amazon MGM Studios will launch a closed beta in March for its proprietary AI tools designed to transform film and TV production — from character consistency to pre- and post-production workflows.
And by May, we’ll start seeing the results.
Unlike typical generative AI tools, Amazon’s system is built for end-to-end filmmaking:
Keeps characters visually consistent across scenes
Automates parts of editing and post-production
Generates and optimizes shots
Helps creative teams test ideas faster
Reduces production time and cost
Amazon says its goal isn’t to replace creators — but to supercharge them.
And it’s not experimenting alone.
The AI Studio is working with:
Robert Stromberg (Maleficent)
Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory)
Colin Brady (Pixar animator)
AWS + multiple LLM providers
In Amazon’s series House of David, season two already used 350 AI-generated shots.
That’s not a test.
That’s a signal.
This is bigger than movies.
For decades, filmmaking has been limited by:
Massive budgets
Long production cycles
Human bottlenecks
Amazon’s thesis is simple:
If AI can scale ads and software, why not storytelling?
If it works, studios won’t just make films faster —
they’ll make more content, more versions, and more personalized stories.
Hollywood could shift from:
🎥 “One movie for millions”
to
🤖 “Millions of versions for millions of viewers.”
Not everyone is excited.
Concerns are exploding around:
Job displacement in creative roles
Ownership of IP and training data
Authenticity of art
Who really controls storytelling
Amazon claims it’s protecting IP and preventing its AI-generated content from being reused by other models.
But history says:
once AI enters an industry, it never stays “assistive” for long.
Netflix disrupted distribution.
YouTube disrupted creators.
Amazon is trying to disrupt production itself.
If this works, Hollywood won’t just compete with AI.
It will be built on it.
And that changes everything.
Hollywood is dead.
Amazon just rebuilt it with AI.
Amazon is launching AI tools that can generate shots, automate editing, and scale filmmaking like software.
350 AI shots in one series.
Closed beta starts in March.
This isn’t about movies anymore.
It’s about who controls storytelling in the AI era.
