As CGI gets better, it's going to invite debates over issues like this.
But it's not a new issue. They did it with Bruce Lee and Hepburn years ago.
Matthew Scott
the quads are with you, you're one with the quads
Benjamin Flores
as long as the actor or family ( in case of rip) gets paid accordingly
William Ross
They did it with bruce lee decades ago by sticking a photo of his head to a mirror and having someone stand behind it.
Jordan James
It's alt-right.
Blake Rodriguez
Ryan Davis
Hearty Kek, user.
Kayden Thomas
feels a bit odd essentially casting someone without their permission but you can't stop it and it doesn't do any harm really unless you suppose it harms ourselves by disrespecting the dead (if you consider this disrespect, it might actually be the opposite)
what does he care, he's dead. really nothing wrong with it as long as the deceased estate gets informed beforehand and compensated if that's legally stipulated

afaik hepburn was the first to be done entirely with CGI for that advert for long ago
. the others were like pasted onto actors and using previously held footage.
the only objection I see is whether it is shit art or not. this was quality but the hepburn advert was shite

>As CGI gets better
Computer graphics are only improving for full length animated movies but only because they're animated in America. They are moving backwards for live action movies because studios outsource cg work to less competent teams in Canada or elsewhere to save money.

What's wrong with talking about problematic things?

>Jennifer Lawrence goes out of work forever because it becomes cheaper to generate a computerised likeness of her than to hire and feed the real thing
The future looks a little brighter every day
Andrew Lee
SO HERE'S WHY IT'S FUCKING WRONG.
Y'know why Peter Cushing was a great actor?
Because he was able to get on the fucking screen and ply his trade in the first place without some throwback nostalgia-grab CGI bullshit Harold Lloyd getting in his way or whatever.
At this point I have zero faith that Hollywood will do anything other than eat itself alive. Cunts.
Aiden Gutierrez
The only time I think it's justified is when the actor dies during filming.
Let the dead stay dead.
Cameron Long
Why don't you shut the fuck up and stop ruining this board, nigger?

Capitalism disagrees with you. Only corporations have copyrights...not people.

It's that word again that I keep resenting for some reason
Caleb Campbell
Disney owns the rights to the character of Tarkin. They can do whatever they want with him.
Caleb Cook
Of course it's not right, Peter would in no way want to be resurrected in that shit, same goes especially for Alec Guiness, these were actual Shakespeare actors, not two bit lasershit actors.

Jordan Harris
What will this actually cause in the juridical system?
Sebastian Evans
how long before anons can make live action movies with their favorite actors in their basements with cgi?
>i.e. how long until I can make porno's with my favorite actors?
Carter Thomas
>you now realise that in the future when top tier CGI is more accesible you'll be able to watch porn with literally any actress you want
hnngh
Isaac Phillips
It's one step closer from removing actors from movies because of their retarded demands regarding pop politics of science or ridiculous ideas about equal pay when they are only pegged to be in 5% of the filming. You'll get paid for your likeness because you are a cunt and nobody wants to work with you.

Gavin Green
It looked fucking awful. I could tell he was fake from the first frame and it really didn't fit into the film
Mason Butler
Oliver Jenkins
It was pretty off-putting. Took me out of the movie whenever he was on-screen.
Why the fuck didn't they just have him in hologram form? That would have made it a little less jarring?
Jackson Fisher
People have a right to their likeness.
