Digital Movie Variation
A movie that is different every time you see it

Given the upcoming advances in technology, this idea may become possible, and potentially used for good, in the right hands.

Using digital projection, a computer program could be sent with the movie file, so that the movie can change dynamically. I'm not suggesting the plot, action, dialogue be any different, but only editing and camera angles.

This way, a scene could focus on one character's point of view on one viewing, but the next time it concentrates on someone else.

Or, extra scenes could be added over time to get die hard fans to return to catch the new info.

       i think showing a movie from two different point of views could make it seem more real in the end.   

       maybe it could put in more/less violence, or other things, depending on what the viewer likes/dilikes? without really changing the story

       that would be a great thing. it would get more people to see the same movie twice and the filmmakers would get even more money. The movies "GO" or "Mystery Train", it's kind of like that. It's one movie, but it's divided into several parts and each part follows one character. And each time we finish following a character, we go back in time and follow another one. And they're all connected in some way, so when you see something strange happen to one character, you know what happned later, when you're following an other character. It's a little hard to explain, but it's entertaining to watch.

       The magic of DVD already (and specifically) allows multiple camera angles and different plot lines (hence, presumably, viewpoints) for the same movie. Can't yet dynamically update them, though, I don't believe.

       How strange that both consumer and jollyroger came to the bakery on June 19th 2002, after Zero5's idea went flop.
