An aging actor in his late 60's can lease his image to a movie studio, the image of when he was 40, for a motion picture, and because we all now accept the computer generated images as the real thing, Hollywood can now simply delete the use of real actors in their films and have everybody replaced in digital. Managers will book their clients "images" and of course make extra money for the "real" voice over. But of course, the dead actors will need pro voice impressionists to handle the load. Eventually, computers will figure out how to speak for the actors as well.

Now Hollywood can go back and remake old movies, or new ones starring ANY actor from the past or present.

Female superstars that are out of the industry because they lost thier looks, can now re book their images when they were younger and hit the silver screen again via digital.

One day you might see a young Brooke Shields or Marylin Monroe in a new hit motion picture.

Acting will go the way of the DoDo. Real acting will only be seen on stage, not in film.

In the last 10 years, stunt men are almost non existent in film because of the digital revolution. We all except that now. When an actor gets blown out of a car, we all know it's fake and move on.

Now, the entire actor is fake (cartoon image) and we give that movie an award for BEST DRAMA. Avatar = BEST DRAMA? Are they kidding? An upset cartoon image can win best drama??

It truly marks the end of motion pictures as we enter a new era of digital cartoons and mental trickery.

One day, you can tell your grand kids on how you used to watch movies with "REAL" people in them. ...they'll laugh and say, "gee, how old are you?"
