Return of the Dragon

Lysander Luddite writes: "More CG actors, this time of Bruce Lee in a film tentatively titled "Dragon Warrior" by Korean filmmaker Chul Shin. Wired has the details. Compare to an older Wired article when this type of thing was just beginning." There's a Reuters article too.

Dragon Warrior?

...if the title is any indicator, we'll be seeing a lot of 8-bit sprites running around fighting slimes and wraiths.

And man, just think about how boring it will be to watch while they level up....

"Why are they running in circles, mommy?" "They need to gain a couple more levels, sweetie." "This sucks, mommy!"

Digital Slavery

Thats what it is.

Here's a scenario: I want to make a porno starring Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin. I use computers to make a lifelike digital movie. Now theres a good chance that people won't associate these actors with the Little Dictator or Gentleman Prefer Blondes. Instead they'll be known for 'Charlie and Marilyns Hardcore Anal Fantasies (vol.1 - 25)'.

Or take it to a greater extreme:

Brad Pitt refuses to star in my next blockbuster. I kill him and have his digital copy star in it instead. (He's dead so he can't sue).

And of course there is Plan 9 From Outer Space and their pioneering work with using actors who died during filming. ;)
