Fantasy Films Post Narnia

I was watching a documentary earlier this week on the creation of the first film in the Narnia series and had a glimpse of the next generation of fantasy films beyond Narnia. It goes like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. The main elements/characters of the film will be imbued with artificial intelligence capabilities including the ability to learn.

2. Initial resources will be granted to those entities and the artificial world will be started.

3. The story will not be guided by an external plot, but evolve according to the artificial intelligence capabilities, the initial resources, and probability.

4. The evolution and outcome of the story can vary from one viewing to the next.

5. Some film goers will like it; film critics will go nuts.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Note for those who prefer to call the Narnia stories religious rather than fantasy, please excuse the fact that I don't see the distinction.
