Bedbugs: these three films imagined by ChatGPT will make Netflix green with envy

They are everywhere, in cinemas, in colleges and even on public transport. Over the past few weeks, we haven’t stopped hearing about bed bugs and the most freaked out among us are now inspecting every place they sit. While the subject is making headlines in the media in France – and is even being talked about outside our borders, so much so that Kylian Mbappé has inherited a surprising nickname. If this makes Internet users who did not hesitate to hijack this famous Netflix series laugh, the return of these pests amuses those who are its victims much less. A real social subject which, like many others, could well inspire directors for future films. And, precisely, what could films on the subject be about? We asked ChatGPT to imagine several scenarios around bedbugs and we imagined the casting!

The Invisible Evilthe invasion of bedbugs in thriller mode

First possibility: a thriller around little animals which would be called The Invisible Evil and where bedbugs would become a metaphor for our fears and our ability to survive in the face of the worst adversities (quite a program!). In this film which takes place in the picturesque streets of Paris, we follow Emma (Jenna Ortega), a young student who comes to live her dream in the city of love. However, her fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare when she discovers that she is haunted by a bedbug infestation. At first, she thinks the itching is due to a simple allergy, but it quickly intensifies and Emma begins to suspect that something much more sinister is lurking in her home. With the help of Thomas (Pio Marmaï), an expert in urban pests, Emma discovers that her apartment is infested with bedbugs. They quickly realize that the problem goes well beyond his housing. Paris is affected by a massive epidemic of bedbugs, spreading through hotels, theaters and apartments in the City of Lights. As the situation worsens, Emma and Thomas race against time to find a solution. During their research, they discover a Machiavellian plot hatched by a mysterious organization whose goal is to make people’s lives miserable and bring them to the brink of madness. This evil organization uses bedbugs as a weapon to sow chaos and despair. Emma and Thomas descend into the darkest corners of Paris, facing their own fears and an invisible enemy, fighting to save the city from this infestation before it is too late. The only way to defeat this horror is to unmask the organization responsible and expose its sinister intentions.

Between bugs and lovea romantic comedy with bite

What if bedbugs made it possible to find love? This is what would happen in Between bugs and love, a romantic comedy like no other. The pitch: an unexpected situation will turn the life of Camille (Emilia Clarke) upside down, an American full of life and ambitions. As she moves into a charming apartment in the heart of Paris, she unfortunately discovers a bedbug infestation. Desperate by her situation, she meets Lucas (Pierre Niney), a somewhat clumsy but charming exterminator, specialized in the fight against parasites. Together, they will embark on a comical battle to eradicate bedbugs and prevent the spread of this infestation in the city. As Camille and Lucas spend time together, they begin to develop feelings for each other. In this chaotic situation, they find themselves experiencing funny, sometimes embarrassing, but also touching moments. The fight against bedbugs becomes a metaphor for their own relationship, where they will have to overcome obstacles to find love and peace. Between the hilarious traps, the romantic misunderstandings and the moments of complicity, this film is a light and warm comedy, transporting the spectators to a picturesque Paris full of surprises. Will Camille and Lucas succeed in eliminating the bedbugs and find their happy ending? One thing is certain, their love story will be memorable, full of bursts of laughter and unexpected emotions.

The deadly infestationthe end of the world due to bedbugs

If bedbugs caused the end of the world, then this is what it would look like this apocalyptic film where a terrible invasion of bedbugs triggers a cataclysm which threatens the very existence of humanity. In a society already weakened by inequalities and tensions, a new strain of bedbugs is appearing in Paris. These bugs are unprecedentedly aggressive, reproduce at an alarming rate and carry a disease that is fatal to humans. The authorities tried to contain the invasion, but quickly failed. The bedbug invasion is spreading at an incredible speed. The streets of Paris are invaded by hordes of these deadly insects. Infested individuals quickly become ill, hospitals are overwhelmed, and medical resources are exhausted. The social order begins to collapse and panic sets in among the population. A small group of survivors, consisting of an experienced scientist (Idris Elba), a research and development engineer (Rami Malek), a doctor (Julia Roberts) and a resourceful young girl (Millie Bobby Brown) , come together to find a way to stop this catastrophe. They must face scenes of chaos, violence and horror as they try to make their way through the ruined city.

The group of survivors discover that bedbugs evolved by absorbing harmful chemicals, which now makes them resistant to most pesticides. However, they also realize that a rare plant, found only in a remote region of France, could be the key to eradicating the invasion and finding an antidote to the deadly virus. Their journey through the devastated landscapes of Paris, in search of this miraculous plant, is strewn with pitfalls and dangers. They must face unexpected encounters, heartbreaking sacrifices and difficult decisions to achieve their ultimate goal. The group of survivors eventually manages to obtain the rare plant, but realizes that there are no longer enough of them to widely distribute the antidote across the city. In a final act of bravery, they implement a daring plan to spread the cure and save as many lives as possible. As the bedbugs continue to proliferate and wreak death, the group fights to distribute the antidote, knowing that this could be their last chance to save humanity from extinction.
