  • I figured this was coming some day. Do no one remember when Budweiser made that commercial using John Wayne?

    That was the day I invasion that movies could be made with dead stars. Imagine a world where you could make a Grown Ups movie and actually have Chris Farley in the film as it was attended. Or bring back John Candy.

    Ethical it probably wrong but growing up I thought of this many times and wonder what it would be like.

    And the technology is almost there, almost prefected to a point that say in 10 years if stay the course you won't need to hire movie actors in the first place.

    So from the perspective from the actors I would be totally against this. But as a fan of movies makes me excited.
