FilmWorld: Agentic Novel-to-Film Generation through Dynamic Cinematic World Modeling

Research Multimodal & Generative

Merged summary

TL;DR - FilmWorld is an agentic system that converts novels into long-form, multi-scene films by modeling persistent cinematic entities and their evolving states. It improves narrative fidelity and cross-scene consistency over existing video-generation agent systems.

  • Specialized agents divide world construction from plot-driven world evolution.
  • Construction agents translate narratives, model visually anchored entity states, and plan shots.
  • Evolution agents generate visuals, propagate states across shots, and verify consistency in a closed loop.
  • FilmEval evaluates 15 novels using nine metrics covering cinematic presentation, consistency, and novel fidelity.
