Audrey Hepburn back from the dead

[quartermainefan]

The advances in CGI is amazing, and it makes you wonder if in a few years time we won't be seeing her and others star in new movies.  It's not perfect yet, but getting there.

This is so freaky!

Bizarre. She looks like a mix of Bambi and Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds. I hear they're doing something similar with Larry Hagman on Dallas, as they did with Livia Soprano.

What's sad/crazy is that the porn world could start taking the images of celebs, altering their appearances ever so slightly, slapping fake new names on them, and exploiting them for profit.

I don't like this type of thing. I think it's disrespectful and bizarre. I will go as far as to say I will never buy anything from a company that does this.

I think it actually looks fantastic, at least on YouTube and not on a larger screen. But I do think it's in very poor taste.

I didn't mind that Funny Face commercial they did with her a while ago, but this is a bit much.

I don't really know what to think about this. Wow. I mean, it's awesome what they can do but ... first we have lifelike projections now this?

Just bizarre.

Wouldn't they have to get the approval to use her image though? I mean ... this does seem in poor taste. Creative but it's just weird.

That is totally creepy and sick. The woman is dead. She cannot give or decline her consent to use her image in this way. It isn't like someone's descendants giving permission to use their music or book rights.

[Mr. Vixen]

I think it looks kind of fake, but I find it a bit creepy. Audrey is my favorite actress of all time.

[Eric83]

Wouldn't they have to pay her estate or something like that to use her image? I really don't understand the point either.

[JellicleCat]

Exactly!

I wonder if her family has even been asked about this.

[SFK]

Her estate had to have been contacted and it looks like they gave the go ahead. I remember being young at my grandparents' house and they were watching that final 20/20 interview she did shortly before she died. Since then, I've seen countless commercials and ads in Parade magazine for schlock bearing her image. She was a philanthropist, as was highlighted in that interview where she was helping children in Africa, IIRC. She may have left specific intsructions in her will about where and how profits off of her image and royalties could be used.
