Are we going to get to a point where entire movies can be made using actors who are long dead?

Not necessarily, as this won't solve the uncanny valley. Movies actually have been using raytracing for their effects for the past decade or so, and while Tarkin and young Leia looked impressive in Rogue One, there was still some of that uncanny valley there. Until we build a facial mesh system that takes a hyper high-resolution picture and depth scan of someone's face, and build the most complicated animation rig ever that's customized for each face so that it can perfectly recreate all the completely consciously unnoticeable but vital movements one's face makes - think the facial animation system from L.A. Noire but cranked up about a billion degrees in detail, we'll always be in that valley.
