"From the horrible ideas department comes the news from George Lucas that he's buying "the film rights to dead actors." You know, so he can resurrect them virtually for upcoming movies. Oh, come on, George. Look for actors to start laying out their film rights in their wills to prevent this from happening pretty much ASAP."
As advanced as digital imaging is, it's just a matter of time when a new full feature film is released starring Humphrey Bogart. This may open a can of worms keeping the lawyers busy as far as compensation to family members.
Anyone who is rich or famous gets to have their image smeared by following generations. When Lucas dies, I vote we make his CGI clone muck out the stables.

the music industry has been doing it for ages, using studio cuts to create whole new albums from dead artists. there are already rumors floating around that Nolan will feature Heath Ledger's Joker in the new Batman film via CGI.
I think it could be really cool. I'd pay to see James Stewart and Katherine Hepburn in a Tyler Perry movie.
