FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AI Lab and Pinewood Studios Launch First-of-Its-Kind Script Discovery Platform, Cutting Project Development Time 30 %The cloud-based engine ingests 50 000+ produced scripts to surface high-value IP, predict audience demand and auto-generate coverage reports within minutes.
San Francisco – November 19, 2025
AI Lab, a Silicon Valley developer of narrative-intelligence systems, today announced a strategic alliance with Pinewood Studios Group to co-develop ScriptMind, an enterprise-grade discovery toolkit that lets producers, financiers and streamers identify commercially viable scripts in hours instead of weeks.
The platform combines AI Lab’s large language model, fine-tuned on more than 50 000 produced screenplays, with Pinewood’s anonymized production and box-office data sets. Early pilots show the engine reduces internal coverage turnaround from 14 days to 48 hours and increases the ratio of “consider” recommendations by 22 % compared with human-only readers.
According to the Motion Picture Association’s 2025 Theme Report, global content spend reached US $240 billion last year, yet only 28 % of green-lit projects recoup their negative cost. “The industry is drowning in submissions,” said Laura Kim, CEO of AI Lab. “ScriptMind surfaces the 3 % of material most likely to resonate with target demos, letting decision-makers place smarter bets faster.”

“Pinewood fields 12 000+ pitches annually,” said Andrew M. Smith, Chief Strategy Officer at Pinewood Studios. “ScriptMind doesn’t replace creative instinct—it gives our executives a data-backed shortlist so they can spend more time nurturing talent and less time wading through slush.”
ScriptMind’s recommendation engine scores each script on more than 200 variables—genre momentum, trope novelty, casting feasibility and global audience simulations—while a proprietary IP-similarity module flags potential infringement risk before legal review. The system also auto-formats coverage to fit each buyer’s internal template, eliminating an estimated 18 staff hours per report.
A beta rollout across Pinewood’s London and Atlanta facilities this summer processed 1 100 scripts, identifying six projects now moving into funded development. One high-scoring thriller, Glass Border, landed a US $15 million financing package within four weeks of upload, a process that historically averages six months.
Market Context
PwC’s Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2025-2029 projects a 6.7 % CAGR for filmed entertainment revenue, but warns that “data-driven green-lighting” will separate profitable studios from content glut casualties. ScriptMind enters a competitive field that includes Amazon Storyteller and ScriptBook, yet independent tests by the U.K.’s National Film & Television School show AI Lab’s model achieving 0.74 recall on breakout hits versus 0.61 for incumbent tools.
