Every day across Hollywood, scores of film school graduates and production assistants work as script readers. Their job is to find the diamonds in the rough from the 50,000 or so screenplays pitched each year and flag any worth pursuing further. Each script runs anywhere from 100 to 150 pages, and it can take half a day to read one and write up a “coverage,” or summary of the strengths and weaknesses. With only about 50 of these scripts selling in a given year, readers are trained to be ruthless.

Now the film-focused tech company Cinelytic, which works with major studios like Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures to analyze film budgets and box office potential, aims to offer script feedback with generative AI.

Callaia provides analysis and feedback on scripts in seconds. But, as AI models are trained to be, it might be too nice to be truly useful.
