Interesting work. Glad you've been able to chart a path through some tedious problems.
Over the last several years I've imagined a lot of projects (both serious utilities, and the absurd/artistic) in roughly the territory you're exploring...
- For my MFA thesis (2012) I used plaintext (thankfully, though they had plenty of their own problems) transcripts of a TV show as a corpus for generating poems from, and at the time I thought it would be an interesting follow-up project to turn them back into video clips.
- Mapping film quotes/citations back to the script/film and accuracy-checking movie quotes. (can imagine both of these being useful for film forums like the movies/sci-fi stack-exchange sites).
- Generating script-cuts of movies that re-order/drop scenes and just show the printed script on-screen where scenes were cut.
- A film-analysis/screenwriting-class sort of interface oriented around reading a segment and then playing it (could be particularly interesting when there happen to be multiple known script drafts?)
- Re-constructing a character monologue from lines spoken by an actor that turned down the role.
- Generating a super-cut of actor X saying Y.
- Generating focused cuts of a film that cover, say, every scene a given character does/doesn't appear in, or every scene that mentions X.
