George Lucas Plans to Resuscitate Dead Movie Stars [Special Effects]

In keeping with Mel Smith-friend of George Lucas and director of Radioland Murders-the creator of Star Wars is ” buying up the film rights to dead actors.” He says that Lucas plans to resuscitate them in future movies using 3D technology:

George has been buying up the film rights to dead actors within the hope of using computer trickery to place them all together, so you’d have Orson Welles and Barbara Stanwyck alongside today’s stars.

Of course, it’s the British tabloid The Sun but, knowing the superb digital 3D actor work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Tron Legacy , Mel Smith’s revelations don’t surprise me at all. As a matter of fact, the potential for doing this has been rumored in Hollywood for ages, but, if true, this seems the first actual news of someone buying ” film rights” to dead movie stars.

In the words of Luke Skywalker: ” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” This has so much evil potential for perpetrating crimes against good judgment and good taste that it boggles my mind. Maybe we shouldn’t forgive Lucas , in fact. [ The Sun ]
