George Lucas to make new movies with dead actors

Post by Coito ergo sum » Tue Dec 07, 2010 5:37 pm

Interesting idea....http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/tech/Geo ... 64.html?dr

With practice, I bet you could get a Bogie and Bacall simulator. I can't imagine it would ultimately be popular, but then again, some folks didn't think voices in movies would be popular either.

I wonder who, if anyone, would own the image rights to a synthetic Bogart?

Probably the Bogart Estate, which still exists and is operated by an executor/administrator.

I can imagine some convoluted legal wranglings.

Still, if I get to see Jimmy Stewart wrestle an Ewok, it will all have been worthwhile.

Is that a euphemism?

I bet he's got his own private Harrison Ford simulator at his "Skywalker Ranch". With a much younger fitter model of Harrison Ford, and a next generation euphoria engine, so he can dress him up as Indiana Jones and "direct" him, in real time, to do whatever he wants.
Sick bastard.
