Yesterday, the news was everywhere. All the media speculated about director George Lucas' "new project". British actor/director Mel Smith, who worked with Lucas and whom the press calls his friend, said to the British newspaper Daily Mail:
‘He’s been buying up the film rights to dead movie stars in the hope of using computer trickery to put them all together in a movie, so you’d have Orson Welles and Barbara Stanwyck appear alongside today’s stars.’
So, one site ironized "This is good news for anyone who’s yearned to see Katharine Hepburn share a tender embrace with Robert Pattinson or watch Jimmy Stewart hunting down bad guys with The Rock."; another fantasied: "It could mean screen greats such as SIR ALEC GUINESS appearing with the likes of JAMES DEAN and MARILYN MONROE."; and one even started comparing "the new generation" of actors with "the old guard" in Renée, meet Bette.
But finally, Wired received an e-mail from Lucasfilm spokesman, Josh Kushins, who states:
“This rumor is completely false"
Anyway...what do you think about this idea? Would you like to see stars from the past in new movies? Who would you like to see together? And it's not inserting an old scene in a new movie, like in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982), it's actually using computer-generated imagery (CGI) to make them "act" in the films. But then, how things would work? Would they, for instance, be able to receive awards?
This is a bit like the movie S1mone (2002), in which Al Pacino creates a super actress using a computer:
