In a Billion years What kinds of Films do You Think Hollywood Will be Churning Out?

[Narkalui]

Films? If it's way in the future (and the computer power can handle it) why not have your consciousness embedded in personalised universes where anything will be made possible. So entertainment would be like extremely realistic and lucid computer games, with, if you want it, embedded and satisfying plots and 'content'. Skyrim+++ so to speak.

Hell, maybe we're actually in one right now. (Although then perhaps we're just all NPC's and the hero has yet to arrive)

This, and it will have been only the super rich who could afford it, and then while they bask in their artificial reality their brains get slaved as organic super processors so they can actually be useful to mankind...

A billion may be a bit far but in say 70 years films will be virtual reality where you chose a list of films/games and take the lead character's role. You may not be able to influence a lot as the story will be predetermined. But a smaller proportion of people will still watch classic films/old style artsie films. Or at the least people will use headsets as an immersion progress from 3D films.

You could have films linked to consciousness but you would still need writers as otherwise it would be just like your dreams that are limited by your own experience and imagination. Maybe AI will work out what sort of themes you like.
