I could foresee a western where you have all of the western stars as they were at their prime (John Wayne in the 50s, Clint Eastwood in the 60s, Roy Rogers in the 40s, and so on). Of course, this could also lead to some strange movie combinations. Imagine
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly with Bob Denver in the Clint Eastwood role.
Another problem with a work-in-progress movie is the temptation to include every possible option including the ramifications. As an example, in the "Han Shot First" controversy, imagine the arguments that would result with the options where:
- Greedo shoots first and misses, Han shoots back and kills him.
- Han shoots first and misses, Greedo kills Han.
- Han and Greedo both shoot at the same time, hit each other's guns and destroy them.
- Han and Greedo decide to have a drinking contest instead.

It seems like technology has been undergoing a convergence, with one device doing the all of the jobs that used to be done by many devices. However, in some cases these functions work against each other.
As an example, for watching video and reading ebooks you want a large screen. But with uses like phone and listening music you want a small device that you can easily carry with you.
One possibility is something I saw in an anime (
Armitage III). The device was multipurpose, but had the ability to generate a large holographic screen when needed for reading or watching video. The device itself could easily fit in your hand, making it easy to carry.
Better yet, it could be made part of your clothes. Imagine touching a button on your sleeve and a high-resolution screen appears in front of you, one with a privacy features so that you are the only one who can see it.
