I don't think audiences want HFR movies. It's fine in sports and gaming but you pretty much have to upend the entire movie industry to get HFR not looking like crap. The more frames you're shooting per second the more light you need to use on set to capture the movement.The more light you use the more you see make-up and how bad some costumes actually look IRL.

Look at Peter Jackson's The Hobbit movies or Ang Lee's Billy Lynn.

You don't think cameras will improve enough that 8k can be shot with same or even less lighting than is used today? Is it a physical limitation?

Yes it's physical. The max exposure time is inversely correlated with the framerate. If you shoot at 100fps for example you cannot keep the shutter open (and capture photons) for longer than 10ms, as you need to close and start the next frame, and it will look dark. And the standard for movies is to use 180° exposure meaning half the inverse of the framerate.

Audiences didn’t seem to want colors, or sound. Now we have it. Brace yourself for 60fps movies :) I personally can’t wait.
