American actor James Dean has been dead for 64 years. James Dean, who died at the age of 25 in September 1955, had starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are RebelWithoutaCause, EastofEden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology, which generates (产生) images of James Dean by computer.
The idea that one of the movie's most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has been met with criticism (批评). CaptainAmerica actor Chris Evans called the plan to use Dean's image in the film disrespectful.
However, Mark Roesler, the chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183，000 followers on Instagram, and he is still important today. He was known as Hollywood's ‘rebel (叛逆者)’ who famously said ‘If a man can bridge the gap (沟壑) between life and death, and if he can live after he's dead, then maybe he is a great man.’” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 1950s is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modernday act of rebellion.”
Anton Ernst, the film's director, said, “I respect Dean's life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always be critics. All we can do is to tell a great story.” Ernst added, “Dean's family views this as his fourth movie. We do not want to let his fans down.”
