James Bond’s movies producers and directors know it : hard to use the same actor for decades to play an iconic role. Actors age, and even though makeup is now an art, there comes a point when miracle work is impossible. Could you imagine Sean Connery replacing Daniel Craig in next movie ?

But technology has an answer. With the amazing progress of computer generated images, tomorrow’s actors might be replaced by virtual ones. Actors that never age, and that generations of fans can follow throughout the ages. We might even find a way to give them a primitive form of AI, program them to answer Oprah’s questions…

Tomorrow, actors will be virtual and you won’t see the difference.. Scary thoughts. Maybe a good story ?
