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.

    This was a movie with Albert Finney. It was called "Looker," and an evil advertising was killing models after creating computer generated duplicates of them for commercials.

    As far as I'm concerned, Proximo is the best role he had (Huge Gladiator fan) but don't think that the cgi 'acted' for him..
    The effect you mention involved a combination of out-take, cgi and a stand in (This is from memory, so correct me if I'm wrong).
    It strikes me that without any of the above, it would take a huge wodge of cash to film a new 'Bruce Lee'. Don't expect cgi to take over any time soon.

    Great quote attributed to Olly Reed:
    "My only regret is that I didn't drink every pub dry and sleep with every woman on the planet."
