Elon Musk wants xAI’s Grok to make a full-length movie before 2027. Not a sizzle reel, not a proof-of-concept trailer, but an actual sit-down-and-watch-it film, starting with an Alice in Wonderland demonstration.
The timeline is aggressive even by Musk standards. Grok had zero video generation capabilities as recently as July 2025. Now Musk is publicly committing to feature-length AI-generated films within roughly six months.
From zero to 1.2 billion videos in a year
In mid-2025, Grok couldn’t produce video at all. By January 2026, Grok Imagine had generated over 1.245 billion unique videos in a single month.
The most recent iteration, Grok Imagine Video 1.5, launched on June 3, 2026 as a preview. It features image-to-video capabilities at 720p resolution with both motion and audio baked in.
