I wonder how long it will be before movies are no longer shot on film, and by that I mean recorded with camera's. In action movies many scenes are of course already computer generated, but I imagine at some point in the future those technologies will have become so advanced that it will no longer be possible to distinguish an actual person shot by a camera from a computer generated person. At that point the whole game will change.
You can make as many sequels/prequels as you like, characters won't age unless you want them to. Or you can make them look younger for a prequel of course. No need to pay actors millions of dollars for every movie, only the team of CGI artists needs to be paid, and if they get too greedy you can always get some new cheaper ones.
What I think will really be the kicker is that instead of watching a movie on a screen you could watch it from inside the movie itself! If it is all a simulation rather than a recording, you can simply pick a viewpoint from where to watch. The viewpoint will be pre-set by a studio of course and will continuously change as the movie goes on. If you're wearing a headset instead of watching on a screen, you can simply turn your head and look around the scene as it is unfolding. But that is not to say viewers can't choose between various viewpoints. Imagine watching the Avengers from the eyes of Iron Man himself. Flying around here and there looking at whatnot. Then switching over to the Hulk. Though Hulk might be more fun to watch from an outside perspective. Watching the same movie twice will be a thing of the past. The movie will be different every time you see it. Same story, but different perspectives.
How many years do you think it will take until we're there? Or do you perhaps think it will never happen?
