James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young
Suki I writes "An article at EW discusses another use for Avatar's sophisticated motion-capture technology: 'Sure, it's terrific for turning human actors into big blue alien Na'vis. But the photorealistic CGI technology James Cameron perfected for Avatar could easily be used for other, even more mind-blowing purposes — like, say, bringing Humphrey Bogart back to life, or making Clint Eastwood look 35 again. "How about another Dirty Harry movie where Clint looks the way he looked in 1975?" Cameron suggests. "Or a James Bond movie where Sean Connery looks the way he did in Doctor No? How cool would that be?"' The article goes on to quote Cameron as saying you would still need actors to play the roles, and that an ethical line needs to be drawn somewhere."
A one word AC first that's also pretty much exactly what I wanted to say? I need to mark this on the calendar.
A bullet may have your name on it but splash damage is addressed "To whom it may concern."
So, for example, we'll have a secondary actor who plays the role of a big star who is also playing the role of an historical character...
If thats the future of Hollywood actors/movies, looks quite depressing....
How many times have i told you that that wasn't real.
