Star in your own film



At the Aichi Expo 2005, Toshiba debuts a movie system called Futurecast, which has high resolution digital cameras that scans the faces of the audiences and casts them in different roles on the film they are about to watch. The system is still in its infancy and the movie itself is not a live-action flick, but a space-child adventure animated film called “Grand Odyssey”. But, the cool part is that all of the audience gets a role in the film.

Is this the future of cinema? Will actors be rendered obsolete? Just imagine starring in the next James Bond or Spiderman movie- how cool would that be.
