James Dean to appear in movie 64 years after death

[Lowell]

This was bound to happen. Legends never die and now they never go away. Deep fake [term used for modifying video to make characters do thing they didn't do] comes to Hollywood.

Cool or creepy? A Hollywood film company plans to resurrect iconic actor James Dean, killed in a car wreck in 1955, and “cast” him in a new movie via special effects technology.

Magic City Films announced Wednesday it has obtained the rights from Dean's family to cast him posthumously in a secondary lead role in a Vietnam-era action drama “Finding Jack.”

Makes me wonder how SAG [Screen Actors Guild] feels about this seeing lead roles sucked up by dead actors.

In Japan the number one concert and pop star is a computer generated cartoon like girl that throws packed concerts hologram style.

These days you do not even need live actors or musicians,think what an Elvis concert or movie would draw.

And you do not even have to give them a Grammy.

"Quid Pro Combover". HAH!!

[canuck]

Izzaboud time James Dean came up from his hallowed grave to grace the screen. Technology is there to enhance our lives.

It doesn't matter that big names die prematurely anymore when you can bring them back to life, unpimpled and with improved physiques, voices, mimics.
