Ah, that sounds fun. I sometimes imagine the characters in a book I'm reading as being various specific people rather than composites, often with "actors" across time. One now elderly actor "in his 40s" and another who is currently 40 comfortably sitting across from him, as contemporaries. Why not?

I was actually thinking that (I read lots of science fiction as well), but decided not to say so as it might be a sensitive subject as it bears on issues of rights of dead actors and compositing actors just as AI bears on use of visual artists' works.

and as AI continues to improve, there is every chance that you will see a movie "cast" like what you describe.

You're right on all points, but trust me - if there's a way to make money, somebody in Hollywood will find a way to get it done.
