Why would people become novelists if their novels get turned into movies?
I highly doubt that black box models can reproduce a movie without it being nonsensical or uninteresting. You can go look at bad b movies to see all the pitfalls awaiting them.
As an aside, I strongly believe that litterature and cinema are very different and that much is lost in translation from one medium to another, to the point that the essence is often lost. Litterature offers different viewpoints and has many avenues for nuance, like pullling attention or not mentioning things that would have to be visible in a movie. Movies are dynamic and, since you are kind of "in for the ride" during 1h30, the pacing and the spectacle become much more important than in litterature. Being visual, it also calls attention to different things. A 2 page description of a landscape now is a single shot, and you have to actually film the thing instead of just describing it.
