I don’t know what to tell you, folks. It definitely SEEMS like Hollywood is “cooked.” It definitely seems as though Hollywood is going to go into a death spiral like newspapers already have.
They will remain, for a while, culturally significant, but, lulz, ultimately all but about 1% of movies will become generative in nature. I’m not happy that this is may be about to happen, but it’s a cold, hard reality.
But as I have LONG suggested, I believe human actors will still get work, just somewhere different: live theatre. Here’s how I think it will happen: actors will work their way up through local and community theatre to Broadway, where many of them will have their bodies scanned after they become popular.
And THAT will be how they become “movie stars,” not by doing all the physical work necessary to become a movie star. That’s because movie, as we currently think of them, will no longer exist as an industry.
