Maybe it’ll be an apocalypse movie
AI will continue making movies after we’re gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums
Scarily plausible
Probably this or next century if global warming continues as it has.
Humanity doesn’t have much time left
It’ll be another fucking Batman reboot. That’s actually going to be the cause… Our tenuous grip on sanity will snap, rage will pour into the streets.
Think 28 days later, but the cause is one more fucking Batman reboot.
As with everything that changes, there is no clean “cut off” where a last thing is made and then no more. Entertainment more than anything evolves and changes. There might be a last “traditional” movie made with a studio and sets and cameras, but by that time we will hardly notice, or our grandkids will hardly notice, as they have moved on to new more immersive or entertaining forms of escapism.
Thats assuming that there won’t be an end to all creative output on this planet in the next million years.
Anything past 1000 years from now is beyond understanding, IMO.
Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television
I don’t think so, there are plenty of hipsters dusting off old phonographs and vinyl records, hobbyists using old-fashioned cameras, modern musicians restoring old styles of instruments or tones.
When I was little I used to imagine the future was going to be either some kind of sleek Star Trek world of clean utopian skylines, OR it would be an apocalyptic wasteland with people remembering the Before Times as the sky is choked with ash and smoke.
The reality I have realized, is that the future is always just “more” of everything. We will have more poverty, more wealthy people, more diseases, more miracles, more hardships, more forms of entertainment, more wars and more peace. We will have more forms of entertainment and more ways to enjoy them.
In Star Trek the main form of entertainment is holoprograms, yet they also have stage plays
But will the movies live on as oral tradition? Ala Reign of Fire ?https://youtu.be/NCBA1wii70o
I don’t think it will be an apocalypse movie, because nobody will want to watch it at that point.
Unless it’s a documentary, of course. “This is why we will all die.”
It’ll be a porno
It will be porn. I guarantee it.
…can I watch?
It won’t even be good, either. It won’t be some big-budget blockbuster; it’ll be a movie by Dave, the guy in your survival group that just doesn’t quite get it and still thinks there’s anybody left alive to appreciate art. Also he plays all the characters.
Except instead of Dave, it’s Adam Sandler.
I bet they will keep making movies after we’re gone
“they” is rather ominous.
Minecraft 2: This is The End
Starring Jack Black as Steve and Micheal Cera as Alex. Special guest star Seth Rogen as The Ender Dragon.
Damn, I thought we had another year or three… That’s already in production
Have you SEEN the world we’re in? This society is a dumpster fire!
Since movies take lots of time to make and being “finished” is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.
Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?
Morbius II: The Morbin’
The Land After Time
Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.
And the reanimated corpses of lawyers will rise if that squid looks too much like Minnie Mouse.
