So basically the 4k remaster is not a remaster. I am disappointed.

I hate videos that could have been articles (talking heads), and I did not watch this.

However, I have an opinion: in probably countless ways.

  1. 3D-ification, which is already a thing
  2. AI-powered user interaction with the film, a-la camera control
  3. Upscaling to 128k resolution, whenever that becomes common
  4. Immersion. Be one of the characters (although, this might just be a variation on #2)

As deep learning hardware and software improves and gets cheaper, I expect doing any or all of these to become increasingly common, and far cheaper than buying the IP and reshooting it, and studios will turn to these as cheap ways to milk the cash cow. Someone will inevitably film another re-imagining, whether with real people or (eventually) entirely deep learning from script to direction to actors; but that won't stop copyright holders of a given film from trying ways to get people to rebuy new versions of old films.

I came across this interesting video and thought folks here might enjoy it as well. I was not aware of the changes between the DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K releases.

I was getting ready to be annoyed by this not being a meme, then found myself fascinated by a twenty minute video about something I'd never even considered!
