Reply #15: That's probably the future of all movies...

Instead of making so many new movies, the industry will remix old movies, synthesizing entirely new scenes and dialog using computer animation, similar to the way music is remixed and remade from original sources.

"Remakes" of movies will actually be remade using computer models derived from the original footage and "starring" the original actors. Movie purists and historians will of course be horrified.

But few people will be upset if Jar Jar Binks was transformed into an interesting character rather than an annoying one, or Anakin Skywalker somehow achieves the kind of super-human charisma that would explain his relationship with Padmé Amidala.
