Can you imagine what the cast of The Expendables<\/em> would have looked like if it had been made in the 1970s?<\/p>\n

What if Sly decided to do a movie where a young Barney Ross and Stonebanks [Mel Gibson] brought the team together? \u00a0CGI could be used to de-age older actors or “bring back” dead actors for a role.<\/p>\n

The technology is there. \u00a0In fact it was Sarah Moran’s Should Movies Use CGI to Bring Actors Back from the Dead?<\/a> (at Screenrant<\/a>) that got me thinking about this again. \u00a0(The article is worth a read even if you’re not a Star Wars fan.)<\/p>\n

While I’d love to see a movie with some of my favorite departed movie stars in their prime co-starring together, there are other considerations. \u00a0How would the departed star have felt? Does it matter? Is it morally or ethically right to use a person’s likeness for a role he\/she may have not approved of? \u00a0(I’m thinking advertisements mostly here.) \u00a0 Would you be interested in seeing old stars “revived” for new roles.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts. \u00a0I’d love to see your comments.<\/p>\n
