Isn't this what most modern movies are, only the remixing isn't automated?

I wonder what a script for an action movie would look like if it was just based off of statistics of all the previous action movies. Probably watchable.

That was part of George Orwell's point.

We could probably get some great comedy out of it!

Netflix is sort of already doing this, producing films based on your content and metrics of what you search for and watch. They aren't automating the actual movie bits yet, but it's progress.
