You couldn't make Gone With the Wind today because everyone in it has died

This reminded me of a question I had a while ago, but maybe it is easier to search up now. What is the oldest movie with at least one actor who is still alive, and what is the newest movie where no actors are still alive.

Maria Riva, the daughter of Marlene Dietrich, played as a child actress in The Scarlett Empress (1934) and is still alive. She's 99 years old now.

Your other question is much harder to answer.

I appreciate the answer! And I agree that the second one is a question that I am not sure how to find the answer to. It would be easier if we only limited it to the cast, but if it was extended to the crew, it gets a bit more complicated

[–] superkret@feddit.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it gets to the crew or extras, it becomes impossible. Lots of them you wouldn't even find out if they died from public sources.
Main cast may be doable, it'll probably be a hobby film done by one person.

There is one way to be sure

Since everyone in the previous one is dead, why would they take the chance?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% of people who live, die. Don't live! Wait, no...

[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Actually, only around 92% of all people who ever lived, died. So there is a chance!

The later in history you’re born, the lower your chances of dying. People born in 2024 have only a ~3% chance of being dead, while the death rate for people born just 100 years ago is over 99%. We’ve gotten much better at being alive as time goes on!
