I once predicted that the improvements in the realness of video games would never stop. That video games will look and act so real that we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a game and real life. We will ask is that a real footbal game we're watching or is that a sports game being played? AI has delivered on that prediction to an astonishing way. Here is an example of how far AI has come.

Now my question is will Hollywood ever produce new films from dead actors? Will there be new Humphry Bogart movies? Will there be a part two or a sequel to movies like Casablanca or The Maltesse Falcon? Technically it should be possible, just like Steve McQueen (seen on the link) could be in a sequel to the movie Bullet. AI has delivered on my prediction and we can be evetually look forward to watching new Star Wars or Terminator movies using the original cast as AI characters. I think this is very possible but will Hollywood do movies of this kind, or maybe these older characters are not relevent to today's audiences as are the current generation of actors. Any thoughts?

The same company doing Ambersons has plans for other lost films like LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. Personally I’d love to see a full length restoration of Von Stroheim’s GREED.
How do you feel about ‘Gone With the Wind (2034)’ having Scarlett a black lesbian, or worse, a trannie?
Just kidding! I think all that DEI casting destroys the ability to enjoy the story.

“Fahrenheit 451” remake with Michael B. Jordan. Book and original film were classics. I turned off the remake after 10 minutes.
