LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (AI) - UPDATE IN DESCRIPTION!

[@eddiemoore8468]

I would love to see a complete AI version of this. This might be as close as we’ll get to seeing it as it can be filmed. I’ve watched the photo recreation, this is ahead of it!

Super fun "what if." I'm convinced that even if the film were to be re-discovered, that it wouldn't meet the expectations we've created in our imaginations!

[@robincochran7369]

It's quite possible the film may not be all we think it to be but, it would still be worth it just to see Lon Chaney in action physically with that wild getup.

Very well done!! Once again, it makes you wish the film survived. While I am no fan of CGI, I am amazed at what can be done these days with AI technology. It would be fantastic if we could finally get the closest thing we can get to a true recreation.

Absolutely ingenious, Jon. I felt as if I were actually watching a snippet of the film. Chaney is particularly creepy--- animated. Kudos!

Keep going with this project! Just learned about the film and want to see the entire thing!

[@fernandomaron87]

Welcome to the club, i'm aware of the film since 1999 and waiting for the copy to surface 😅

Chaney looks more like a Mr.Hyde than a vampire

[@floralaplante5367]

Yes it's true ! but we will never know the origin of this strange appearance.Maybe that’s how people had a vision of vampires in 1927

[@fernandomaron87]

​@@floralaplante5367They certainly did, the 1931 Lugosi's Dracula helped shape the image of vampires we have today.

Love it! Forrest J. Ackerman would approve!

[@silentspleeze7310]

Great job. You really captured the spirit of the film.

[@escottamezcua6814]

On man that cool to see this movie like that I love the creepiness

[@mercurylegion]

Okay, I'm impressed! With a full staff and budget, you've proven this would be even better so I'm hoping and praying such an opportunity lands at your doorstep (and as a side note, your use of Wagner's "Gotterdammerung" made this even moodier . . . Excellent soundtrack choice! . . . . ) . . .

Wonderful! You deserve respect!

[@EddieMonster1976]

What a treat! Thank you, Jon .. ☕👏😎

[@graemespringer4643]

Dude please, please make the whole picture! You have the whole tcm remake work with! Please ❤

[@closmu]

Brillant!

[@joebluby774]

This is so awesome I would love to watch the full film reconstructed but also can not imagine that undertaking

[@ShadowsofthePastTheater]

I look forward to seeing more.

[@GregBreden]

I was actually creeped out by Chaney in this. AI is creepy at times anyway and it works perfectly to elevate what could have been way off base. Love it, bravo Jon.

[@StevenStone-cw8yo]

Better than nothing and a great start. I always wished for this. If you have the script and screenplay you could do the rest.

[@gerryroberts662]

Very neat,, hollywod needs to finish these,, using al,, it is different, but worth a try,, to many incompleted films..

[@jackbowman4658]

What about the multi-award winning audio movie remake with Art Malik in Dolby Atmos? Have you heard that? 100% reviewed fresh too!

[@FatherJoe--NLO]

Incredible job! I really hope you'll be able to complete this.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

THIS MOVIE wasn't originally a silent film . Now how I remember it

[@James-w1e5k]

Actually, it was silent. Long Chaney's only sound film was The Unholy 3. Chaney died shortly after it. His reason for not wanting to do sound was why Universal lured him to sign a contract. He was promised if the test movie, The Unholy 3, was successful it would bring him in the sound era. Promised to do Phantom of the Opera in sound and full 3 strip technicolor, Chaney agreed if his fear of sound was cured. He wasn't afraid of doing sound, it wasn't perfected and it ruined careers. He was lured with the promise that he'd do Dracula and then Frankenstein. The Unholy 3 was a success enough to make him feel comfortable enough that he'd done at least one sound film. By this time, though, Chaney knew he was dying from those years of smoking. Many fans of Lon Chaney, myself included, have wondered what his versions of Dracula and Frankenstein would've been like. Ray Bradbury had said he'd seen it and said sound wouldn't have stopped him from being scared seeing it as the organist provided music in the theater. He claimed it was a very influential film for him. I hope this helped. But it was a silent movie.

[@singin8324]

This is amazing. Any chance of a complete reconstruction. I do believe there is a copy of this film hidden in someone's attic or basement. I pray, one day in my lifetime it gets found.

[@rickuyeda4818]

Why isn't the whole film done???

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

They all look like they're saying peanut butter...

[@jonbuseyhunt]

You’re not wrong!

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

@@jonbuseyhunt Once I saw it I couldn't unsee it lol. This is really cool though man.

[@petenas4404]

chaney was creepy,even without makeup!

[@doktor_ghul]

Chaney would be far more animated than this; this looks like Terry Gilliam animated it. Lon was said to lurk like a predator , according to people who remember seeing the original. Ah, well...

[@jonbuseyhunt]

It essentially IS like Terry Gilliam animated it, it's basically just cut-out stills. You can't really control the animatedness of the characters with this limited technology. As generative AI improves, it might become more possible to recreate his performance including the "Groucho walk" but for now, it's basically a cartoon with photos.

[@kaztouch1]

This is a horrible recreation and the AI effects of the people is laughable.

[@jonbuseyhunt]

@@kaztouch1 thanks, buddy.
