I’ve predicted for several years now that when the estate for a deceased major golden age actor/actress signs off on allowing their image and voice to be used in a new film and that film is a major success the floodgates will burst and the need for “live” actors/actresses will go “POOF”.
I also am looking forward to the new Bogart Bacall film.
But remember this is Hollyweird.
It may turn out that the estates may want to produce their own films and team up with other estates to create a set of casts for particular efforts.
There is a change coming.

Yes. In music, the need for live musicians have already gone puff. Sampling has taken the place of musicians being hired out. I think there will be a new genre for this stuff — dead actors playing themselves. AI resurrection of the dead... you can all it “Film Noir Noire” or some kind of handle like that.
