The amazing technology that helped make the movie sales juggernaut "Avatar" what it is today could have some extremely interesting applications.

According to an article in Entertainment Weekly James Cameron said the photo-realistic CGI used in "Avatar" could easily be used for other equally amazing projects.

"How about another 'Dirty Harry' movie where Clint looks the way he looked in 1975?" Cameron said. "Or a James Bond
movie where Sean Connery looks the way he did in 'Doctor No?' How cool would that be?"

The precise nature of the technology that gets right down to an actor's pores allows for virtually any manipulation you could imagine. There are limits though, Cameron said.

"There's no way to scan what's underneath the surface to what an actor is feeling," he said.

But the technology would theoretically allow for actors to appear in movies after they have died, almost like how Hendrix is still releasing vaulted material.

"If Tom Cruise left instructions for his estate that it was okay to use his likeness in 'Mission Impossible' movies for the next 500 years, I would say that would be fine," Cameron said. "You could put Marilyn Monroe
and Humphrey Bogart in a movie together, but it wouldn't be them. You'd have to have somebody play them. And that's where I think you cross an ethical boundary."

I think both Pierce and Sean should be part of this technology.

Better Pierce and Sean than 'ol craggy features!

Imagine if this technology is used to make the younger cast of ST to look more like the original cast in following sequels.

If this technolgy exists now maybe they should use it to make Daniel Craig look taller.

Exactly! And the older looking he gets the more they are going to have to try and cover it up!

They could also change his facial features too - and perhaps get a different actor to do the voice.

[katied]

The idea of getting someone to do Craig's voice is a bit

They used something like this to make Captain Picard and Magneto look younger in a flashback scene in X-Men 3. All this CGI is getting out of hand now I feel. I think the days of models, puppets and matte paintings had a lot more charm. A lot of these CGI infested films will look terribly dated in decades to come whereas Raiders or Gone with the Wind will still look great.

CGI already looks dated

DAD, much?

The later Star Wars movies were almost cartoons!!!

I don't think this is ready for real movies yet but Eon needs to get on acquiring the rights to use Connery and the other Bonds digital likeness for new movies. In the next 10 years it could become a real possibility.

[katied]

I dunno, I like the idea of digital Bonds.Especially if Babs continues to hire the sort of man *she* likes!

[Kristatos]

Especially The Clone Wars.

I'll get me coat.

[Blowfeld]

I do no think Sean Connery, George Lazenby, or Pierce Brosnan would ever allow EON carte blanche to their image. So we should be thankfully spared the Jar-Jar Binks treatment of our favourite Bonds.

The alternative-being stuck with Dorian Gray,I mean Daniel Craig for years isn't much better.

Brosnan certainly wouldn't. I don't think he's on speaking terms now with his former employers.

IIRC it got pretty ugly between teh Brozzer and Babs and Mikey.

Dreadful films.

I know a lot of people would hate me for this, but I thought Episode III is best of all episodes.
