Movies are generally protected by copyright for 95 years. That means anything made before 1931 can be remade without compensation. I'm not sure how that goes for an individual actor, and whether or not they can use their likeness at all.

The library of desirable films from 1931 is pretty thin, but in about 10 years that will change dramatically. From just 1939 alone, you have Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and Gone With the Wind.

In 1941, there were many great films that could be ripe for remake: Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon, How Green Was My Valley, and High Sierra.

Of course, I don't feel confident that any of the films could be improved by AI, or any intelligence.

Maybe not a remake but a sequel. I think Bogart, Peter Lori and the Fat Man had great chemistry, and there could be a series of movies spun from the The Maltese Falcon. But whether that chemisty can be captured as good as the visual likeness is another question.

How do you feel about ‘Gone With the Wind (2034)’ having Scarlett a black lesbian, or worse, a trannie?
