Way to go Rob, brilliant. I had Grok put together a treatment for an HBO Max/Netfilixesque mini-series on the rise and fall of Harvey Weinstein . . . Here's the outline for the first episode . . .
Episode 1: "Flushing Dreams"
Story: The origin of the Weinstein brothers in Queens, New York, growing up in a working-class Jewish family. Harvey, born in 1952, and Bob, two years younger, are shaped by their diamond-cutter father, Max, and domineering mother, Miriam. The episode explores their shared love for movies, sparked by Saturday matinee theater trips, and their early hustle as concert promoters in Buffalo with Harvey & Corky Productions. It sets up their complementary dynamic—Harvey as the brash, charismatic dealmaker; Bob as the quieter, pragmatic counterpart—and their burning ambition to break into the film industry.
Key Themes: Brotherhood, ambition, the scrappy underdog spirit. Introduce their volatile relationship, with Harvey’s domineering personality already clashing with Bob’s more reserved nature. Hint at Harvey’s aggressive tendencies through small incidents, like bullying peers or manipulating business deals.
Narrative Hook: End with the founding of Miramax in 1979, named after their parents, as they pivot from music to films, setting their sights on revolutionizing independent cinema.

Ambitious.
Make me 42 years old again!
You’re more focused now. Make it happen, brotha!
AI's best work is with a human hand. Thank you for sharing Rob. I too would love to read the sequel. :-)
Wow, Rob. Eye-opening. I would buy that Gatsby sequel.
Ha! It’s all about that prompt! Prompting is the new copywriting lol
I'm glad to learn Gatsby is over Daisy.
Prompting!!!
Seems his muse in this sequel is money itself. Although, there’s always a little room for human intervention and redemption.
The power of “What if…” has no limits. And now more than ever. Fun and astute one. Thanks, Rob.
Keep me reading to the end..
Love how you got something creative from AI for fun..
