The end of the remake?

I've been wondering if there is a future in remaking films. For instance, would there be any reason for the filmmaker of 2030 to remake King Kong after Peter Jackson's version?

Right now, the films of the past were using a new technology. Films in black-and-white, grainy-prints, or unrealistic imagery (animatronics) can be improved upon.

However with digital film and photorealistic CGI, is there any room for improvement?

Aside from some unknown future way of viewing film (3D virtual cinema?), will it be compelling enough for cinema-goers to watch a new Matrix with the Hollywood star of the time, rather than watching the old Keanu Reeves version?

I hope not. I hope this will force filmmakers to innovation instead of reproduction. After all, you don't see novelists deciding to rewrite Moby Dick.
