It's not a matter of cost Jimbo. Like I said, if it was only a matter of cost, the studios would not hire big stars, they would hire nobodys. The studio that made "Terminator" could have hired a nobody for next to nothing, but they didn't; they hired Arnie because he has pulling power. It's the same with CGI. The fact that it is cheap does not mean people will use it. The way Hollywood looks at it is that cheap movies don't make money.
