Would it be possible for Movie Chiefs to "re create "a deceased movie star?

Question

Using all the computer technology we now have, could they in theory make a new movie ? Who would you like to see on the screen again

Answer 1

I think so, since in some videos they have brought back dead musicians to sing with present day musicians. I've also seen commercials with people who are dead and their mouths have been computerized to say different things.

Answer 2

They already have, many times. The new Superman Film has Marlon Brando's character, Zor El do a few lines. A previous answerer mentioned those commercail ads where past performers work with contemporary artists.

I think your question really asks whether a long dead actor can be recreated from scratch using computer technology. In my opinion, they are very close. Each year, they manage to make more realistic human characters. If you can look closely, you can see that the eextures and movements are not quite there yet. Cartoon characters, monsters, etc. look just fine, but the closeups don't work yet. Check out the latest X Men film. The CGI characters are only shown breifly in closeup and are used mostly in long shots.

Each year, getting better and better. I believe it will eventually happen.

Answer 3

The "villain" in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was a young Laurence Olivier who died in 1989. By using old movie footage they were able to digitally create a "performance" from him. That was probably the best example of what technology has allowed, but I agree with the previous answer that it still doesn't come close to looking like a real live performance

Answer 4

I think it's been tried. But perhaps it becomes an issue of respect for the dead. Or the family's object.
A lot of fans wouldn't be too impressed if Clark Gable was in something like 'The Spy Who Shagged Me'.
Something similar was done in the Steve Martin movie 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid'. Although a very funny film, used Hollywood legends as the butt of jokes.
But who knows, in the future we might see 'The Duke' big John Wayne riding the range again?

Answer 5

episode 6 replace into my famous episode 5 2nd episode 4 episode 3 replace into hardcore for the main suitable saber duel episode 2 and a million could have been lots extra clever for the main section i'm into something megastar wars. i'm on the finally e book with the vong. I even have examine each and every tale formerly this series and function those after waiting to confirm besides. Lucas is the guy.

Answer 6

Yeah, I guess with all the new techniques it could be possible to "resuscitate" a dead movie start. Whom would I like to see on the big screen again? Maybe Chaplin.

Answer 7

they did this in a couple of films already were they superimpossed the actors face onto the body of another actor so they could finish the film off think superman was one of the films

Answer 8

Well, that's what they are doing to have Brando in Superman Returns. Check out how they did it on Ain't It Cool News.

Answer 9

in the movie "THE CROW" they producers filmed about 4 scenes with mr lee after he died on the set. however their FX budget pretty much doubled because of this

Answer 10

yeah they can recreate it. i would like to see john wayne and festus from gun smoke do a remake of a modern day western. none of that broke back mountain stuff either. i really can't see john telling festus " com'er little partner, i got something for ya!"
