Black Forest Labs is BACK with Flux 3 — the AI video model teased since 2024 — and an AI film just landed a real THEATRICAL release. Two thresholds in one week. I put Flux 3 through the tests: a text-to-video Netflix trailer, the classic FBI-agent-in-a-Pacific-Northwest-diner run, and the brutal 15-shots-in-15-seconds prompt coherence gauntlet. 20-second generations, up to 10 reference inputs, native audio, and yes — open weights are in the launch plan. Does it replace Seedance? Not quite. Does it earn a spot in your workflow? Let's talk.
PLUS: Zack London (aka Gossip Goblin) is headed to actual theaters, and I break down his full workflow — Midjourney (personalization + SREF codes) as the generator, Nano Banana as the Photoshop, and first-frame image-to-video for total camera control. No omni-referencing, no character sheets, and a few lessons every AI filmmaker should steal.
