How long before the tech is there to sample all the film images and CGI everyone to your hearts content on your home computer, 5 years? 10 years? 8th Age?

I don't know, but the current CGI work like in Beowulf was downright creepy as far as the faces of the main characters. I couldn't watch it for the same reason I disliked Polar Express -- the abominable reconfiguring of facial features.

I don't think you can make a movie that perfectly imitates the book. I mean, think about it....everyone interprets and imagines the scenes of the book in different ways, and a movie can only be interpreted in one way....
