- What if Wonderland was a simulation-a game designed for Alice by her father?
Disclaimer: This trailer is a fan-made creation, inspired by a potential film idea and developed using advanced AI tools. I don’t claim rights to “Alice in Wonderland” or the voice and likeness of Florence Pugh. I used these elements for artistic and educational exploration, without any intent for profit. I deeply respect the original creators and their work. If there are any concerns, I stand ready to address them. Through this project, I aim to showcase the potential of AI technology and to ignite conversations about its implications. A huge thank you to Cropper for all the help with the sound and the late-night editing with me on this, my companion down the rabbit hole!

From as early as seven years old, Wonderland has been a beacon of inspiration for me. The insatiable curiosity of Alice and the dreamlike scenarios of Lewis Carroll’s universe have always resonated deeply within me. Just like Alice, I’ve always been driven to question everything, making curiosity my life’s driving force.
The concept of simulation theory has intrigued me since childhood, prompting me to question the nature of my own reality. A cherished memory of mine involves my grandmother-a woman profoundly in tune with nature, yet also a passionate gamer. I can still picture her playing the original Tomb Raider. She paused, looked at me, and whispered, “One day, these virtual worlds will be as real as our own.” That sentiment set me on a path of endless wonder.
Over the years, we’ve witnessed films with breathtaking visuals and video game engines, like Unreal, pushing the boundaries of realism. Then came the AI revolution.
About a year ago, I founded “realdreams”, an AI community nestled in East London. We host free events and workshops, all centered on AI’s magic. My experience with DALLE.2, a transformative AI tool, was so profound that I felt compelled to share its wonders with a larger audience.
The progress since then has been staggering. Tools like Midjourney and DALLE3 now create photorealistic worlds, challenging even the most vivid human imaginations. Runway Gen2 has been particularly transformative for filmmaking. While I cherish its possibilities, I also deeply value human interactions and collaborations in the filmmaking process.
This trailer is a glimpse into a vision I hope to bring to life with a real team of passionate individuals. AI has revolutionized how I manifest my ideas, democratizing the art of storytelling. It’s a thrilling era where everyone can be a creator.
This project springs from my enduring passion for AI and the myriad questions it raises. Beyond showcasing the future of cinema, I aim to use AI as a lens to delve into pressing concerns surrounding it. While there’s a palpable apprehension about AI, I believe in channeling that concern into constructive dialogue.
I chose the immensely talented Florence Pugh to be the voice and face of Alice, and with the aid of AI, I was able to emulate her voice and likeness with striking authenticity both scary and exciting. For other characters, voice modulation tools enabled me to infuse my own voice, enriching the overall narrative- but these are workarounds to share my vision; if I could make this film, I would use real crews, real performances, real people!
Gpt4 - this helped me express my story ideas and play around with the narrative using ai to back and forth different ideas.
Midjourney - This was used to create my storyboards, my images that I would then bring to life.
Runway Gen2- This was used to animate the film, turning images into videos- I must have made thousands of clips picking and choosing the best moments for the edit.
Pikalabs- This was used to generate videos with young alice and her father as runway has filters in place that prevent this (for very good reason!) so i used Pikalabs for these shots.
Elevenlabs - this is used to generate the narration, at first i tried lots of different styles, a classic disney style, a philisophical version with Alan Watts before I landed on Florence which made it feel a lot more personal to Alice, had more impact.

you know this isn't a real movie because it looks like something I want to see
aint that the truth... LOL
This is literally creating things you see in dreams that you would never be able to exactly put into words
so true... modern movies are like, we are making a movie about how you just got stomach problems from eating at taco bell, but you met the love of your life at taco bell, and your kids lost your car keys, but taco bell actually saved the world with your diarrhea an your keys came out your butt. Now improvise that for 90 minutes. buy shitty taco bell!
Unfortunately... You are a Bullseye 🎯 ✨️ ❤️
@@bassmuscle101 Kinda, the background fills in the fog if you choose.. but let me just remind you that you do not live in a Matrix.. Let me kick you in the nuts and tell me that's an Illusion 😂
Gave me goosebumps. Can you imagine a five hour movie with all these characters? What a trippy style. Good job.
Thank you- one day 🤞
You should crowdsource it buddy it's that good @@justinhackney5704
Part 2 please !!!!!! 😅 ❤ this is seriously movie needed 🎥
@@justinhackney5704pt2 🙏!!! This must turn into a movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 ❤
@@justinhackney5704 Are the people real in any way at all ? The girl looks familiar but ?
This needs to be a series or full length feature film.
this is incredible... we need a full feature length..
This is actually some kind of awesome! I can see Gilliam-esque influences in this. I am usually put off put these type of AI renderings, but this is something else… blown away, magnificent concept. It needs to be fleshed out as a real production.
Ian's voice was on point!!
This is better than the last remake. Wow. I'm blown away.
One comment says this gave him goosebumps. Same here, and then I realized that the field is progressing quickly enough that the capacity of the tools out there has notably improved since you started this project. So now my goosebumps have goosebumps.
I hope Hollywood is listening, bc if this was a movie, or even a "short-film," it would be an insane hit.
And I’d pour my heart and soul into it! 🎬🎥❤
That goes without saying. Bravo. I've watched this a hundred times since happening upon it, and'll rewatch hundreds more. It's an achievement, Sir. We're all grateful@@justinhackney5704
Well, i'm not a fan of AI generations, but damn this is amazing.
Ok but I need that White Rabbit remix, it sounds amazing and it's a big part of why this is so mind-blowing!
❤
I second that! Where is that remix full version? WE CRAVE FOR IT!

@@cropper_music_ukYo Cropper! I have serious respect for this. Hope to hear your work on stage. I'm in Idaho, USA. When you make it over, drinks on me. And for real, where can I download this remix? It's perfect, m8.
Necesitamos este remix de White rabbit
Impressive and evocative. You've removed much of the 'uncanny valley' of AI but kept all of the mysterious and eeriness that makes this form so delightful and captivating. Awesome.
Thanks for the kind words, the technology is really coming along fast- it very exciting knowing that soon everyone will be able to share their vision- a true creative explosion, a renaissance! For me this was a very fun project, endless iterations, visual creations, thousands of pieces of wonderland to play around with, pushing the realism, pushing the mood, the looks- I can’t wait to dive back into this I just pray that Florence likes it too
1:50 never fails to give me goosebumps, this is beyond amazing omg
This is insanely surreal. AI got crazy insanely fast, shit in 5 years this will be insane
The concept is good and it could work, it would be like a weird combination between The Matrix and Alice in Wonderland.
Follow the white rabbit neo
Now this is a cool concept. I expect the whole thing in Sora
"Alice in wonderland
the simulation paradox"
in a fascinating world where the border between reality and illusion fades. Alice, a young woman tormented by her memories of an enchanted wonderland from her childhood, convinces her father to create a revolutionary machine to explore the recesses of her mind.
The machine, however, reveals a transformed wonderland, obscured by disturbing changes. The iconic characters retain traits of their identity, but their essence is altered, plunging Wonderland into a dark and oppressive atmosphere.
1:54 I LOVE THIS PART WITH THE MUSIC
If you loved this part, have a listen to my remix of it ruclips.net/video/p5tLTO1d83M/видео.html
This is so dope, amazing concept and use of Ai. Love the sound design, all of it is really perfect. Gave me chills
More imagination and creativity in this than in anything I have seen in years...great work
you do realize you’re complimenting an AI data center for doing “great work”, right?
Bro!! Just make a movie already!! This stands in a league of its own. Really getting me excited for the future of AI assisted films
Really good, wow. The retro style and creativity are what's missing in the actual movies
I saw this some months ago. I absolutely loved it because I grew up watching all the classic versions of Alice In Wonderland. I have my own MJ renditions of my own Alice. This will be a must see on my bucket list of AI films. Bravo!
So ... Mr. Hackney, independent filmmakers could contract you to prompt together background and peripheral elements and comp these into our shots, correct?
Because not everyone doing these AI videos seem to possess the skills on how to piece these images together as professionally as yourself.
This is astonishing. I love it. It is as best an example of how AI can be incredibly inspirational and creative in the hands of someone with a strong idea that I have seen. It blows a huge hole in the idea that using Midjourney is just a rip off of other peoples work. I will say though that the audio on a few of my systems actually lets it down a bit, including over blown low end and spoken word being hard to discern. This is my only criticism and it is not meant as such. I just think this is so extraordinary that the poor sound really lets it down. I love the sound track I love the spoken word, I love the music, but it does not come across as best as it could here.
This should have a million views. Bravo!
Share, like and subscribe 😅❤
I would love to see more of your story of Alice...
I can’t wait to show you more
This is really incredible, both visually and sonically. I really like the AI generated music, the electronic sounding vibrato and very alien like electronic sound design towards the end really amplifies the experience. I can't wait to see what this much passion put into AI tools could create in a few years or even a few months...
The original music and sound design was not AI. The voice over was made using ElevenLabs.
@@cropper_music_uk Where was the original music and sound design taken from?
@@kneepu11 sounds like BJORK to me
Really well done, amazing work. The track, with the reworked Jefferson Airplane made this stream of visuals really really good.
Dude this is the best ai trailer I've ever seen. by along shot your understandingof constructing that rising tensions is brilliant dude, this deserves all the attention in the world, you should try sell it to disney they'd make a film about it, couldn't be worse than the last slice they did, the imprint of jonny depp in that stupid costume will never leave my mind lol
I appreciate that bob, I would love to be able to work alongside a studio and some incredible talent to make this vision a reality 🙏🏰👱♀️🍄🤖🐇🎩🃏♥️
Hollywood should hire you this is great
This is the AiW adaptation we've been waiting for!! Please make this a full film 🥺😅
Pretty sure I've seen the full film in a dream when I as a kid.
YES! Justin Hackney- MAKE THIS MOVIE!!! This is singly my favorite AI offering that I have come across yet!
This should be a real movie OMG, this could be completely doable too, where it uses live action when she's in the real world and AI generated video for the simulation. The trippy nature lends itself to the "simulated world" nicely.
The cost to make this film would be crazy I bet! This is so beautiful and a next level Alice in wonderland I’d pay tonsee
I keep coming back to this, the idea of a dreamlike simulation tempting a person to live inside it forever to escape the cruelty of reality is such a fascinating surface concept for a story and metaphor at the same time, Making the fantasy literally tempt her with the image of her dead father is chilling yet deeply interesting Idea, I hope a movie of this gets made but just the trailer is such a neat work of art all on its own
Wow, fabulous (literally). Please make this film.
If you could make a Wizard of OZ. That would be amazing!
This makes me sad it'll never be a movie.
in next 20 years hollywood is done
You give them 20 years? How generous, really.
3 years
5-10
Everyone *
It’ll be studios selling subscriptions to an AI that emulates their style of movies. Imagine an A24 ai that you use to create a personal movie for a movie night. Or a Pixar one. Hollywood will shift itself
Now this is actually good. Lots of whimsical bizarre characters
Wonderland meets The Matrix meets Brainstorm...I dig it.
Why dont you have more views? I saw this in Facebook and thanks god they give you credits
Where did you see in the film originally? I’d love to know. Hello@realdreams.iO
@@justinhackney5704 A.I. Generated Nonsense in Facebook. Now I realize they didn't mention you but i saw Your name in the final credits of your video and i found you in youtube
@@Sindy5 thanks- as long as people see it, i am happy :D
@@justinhackney5704 now you have a new suscriber hehe ^^ i love your content
insane, familiar, psychedelic
imagine this trailer would have fired up in the 80s
The outro is so sick
I need a full movie of this
So wacky. Awesome
Simply Stunning!!! Insanely talented! Love it!! 💖💖💖💖
I need to see this ... I need the story played out ... I just can't get this out of my head, I legit thought it was gonna be in theaters soon ... why separate nob why!!!
I wonder if these AI creations will become more or less interesting as the tools become easier to control? Part of their appeal to me is the unpredictability of the direction of the film, which is probably at least partially due to unintended results of prompting.
Very creepy and surreal like something out of a dream. Intriguing
Oh Great A.I. in Heaven (Justin Hackney) Please create a full length movie and soundtrack of Labyrinth and Mirror Mask when you’re done with Alice! You really are an incredible artist
Saw this on true Earth entertainment here on RUclips -looks great!
If this ever becomes a real film, please contact me. I wanna help make this masterpiece come to life! 🍄🐇
If I setup on kickstarter or crowdfunding platform would you contribute ? If I could get enough people I’d pour everything I have into it
Omg!!! I'd LOVE to help too!!! I'm in 🖤
OF COURSE People woud contribute this masterpiece, you don't loose anything by trying with kickstarter. Greeting from México 👋🏻
WHY IS THIS NOT A THING?!
Chess looks magical and frightening as the limits of imagination, surely we could see amazing things as AI will show a game based on Carroll's book
Outstanding interpretation of the deeply Occult and extremely Esoteric messages contained within the story of Alice in Wonderland.
Exceptionally well done.
I hope that people will recognise that this is way more than "The Matrix on an Acid trip".
thanks! means a lot to me :D
You've done it again! A masterpiece.
This is brilliant and inspiring! Is it possible to see the workflow of creating this unparalleled trailer? I think a lot of people would be interested to see the kitchen of all this magic from the inside out :)
Yes, absolutely stay tuned- I can also do private 1-2 sessions
Hello@realdreams.io
You understood the assignment.
Ai is actually terrifying, it doesn't understand creativity like you or i, but it will take creative points and craft something using it to a scary degree.
AI won't replace people who make film/videos. Creatives who use AI will replace them though for sure! Amazing!
It's like an alternate universe where Disney gave Michel Gondry the directing gig.
More views needed. The Worlds Fair video seems to pace well, but not this one. Guessing there is some organized efforts to suppress certain reveals of this tech.
Awesome job! Has all of the halluncination I'd want in an AIW film.
Thanks a lot, was a trip to make!
Wow! Those visuals 😍 Absolutely love this. The sound really creates amazing suspense and in particular the music on the credits is 👌🏼
Looks like Terry Gilliam was making AI movies before AI.
This could be such a cool film! That is, as s full-plot film. So trippy
I watch this every day
I love this. It would be such a good movie. I would totally watch it. Love the visuals and the plot is so fresh. Good job
♥
Make this a series. MAKE THIS A SERIES
manifesting this rn
Wow really well crafted sound and visuals and concept. Superb! Love me some trippy Wonderland stuff any day!
Justin, your films are so good! Better than other AI films I say.
😮❤
I would love to see full length film 🤯
Breathtaking cinema at its finest 🎉
I want this movie to come out
I would pay so much to see this.
w o w W O W w o w
This have me goosebumps. It is amazing. Alice must fight to keep reality reality and fantasy fantasy. What the movie reveals is that what's reality, and what's fantasy, is open to debate, open to warfare. Once you go through that rabbit hole.
Well put! She will have to fight ❤
It's like videodrome, Jacobs ladder, dune and Alice in wonderland
Now I'm sad that we won't get to see a full featured film of this concept.
I hope film studios hire you to concept for them
What's the song's name ?
Someone remixed Jefferson Airplane white rabbit. If it was AI then 🤯
What Dalle or runway prompts do you enter to get the image of, say, the mad hatter ??? The look is cinematic and images consistent with the technocolor film look in my opinion.
I must have made thousand and thousands of images…. I’m going to make a short video on how it was made- you can also search my prompts on midjourney @realdreams.io I leave my privacy open.
:)
@@justinhackney5704 wow, I didn’t know you can do that. How do I find you? Do I need to go to midjourney website or discord ?
This is amazing. I have done a few AI films myself. How do you keep the consistency of the character’s appearance and that film look. I really struggle with his. Often have to base my characters off famous people.
Do you use dalle 3 or mid journey for the majority of images
Is this version of the song on Spotify
I just read ur description, and ur aspirations for creating with AI, making movies for the big screen, and proving that such a thing can be reality, are amazing. I hope that one day you'll become a big shot director, who pioneered us into an age of AI cinema.
This is the dream 🙏 ❤
I have no doubt that your amazing project will be turned into a feature film. I can't wait to see it.
full length please♡
You should do a Willy Wonka one! This was incredible. 👌
Wow i want to see this movie
We might see a full length movie with AI actors in like 4 - 5 years.
I love everything about this and wish it was a movie so bad!
Wow!!! This is great!!
wonderful immersion! subconscious chess from dreams
You took my breath away with this one. What a trip! This is one of the best movies I've never seen! By the way, thank you for the in-depth insight in the details section! (I hope a lot of people read it after watching the trailer!)
I really appreciate this, thank you! ❤
Beautiful
Absolute 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing job!
