Jamie Salter (who recently purchased Marilyn Monroe's name and likeness via his New York-based brand-development company Authentic Brands Group) is proposing a career comeback for Monroe, although it's been nearly 50 years since her death.
With the help of CGI technology, Salter would like to see Marilyn Monroe acting along side today's stars. He's quoted as saying, "[Dead] celebrities don't talk back. They don't go out on the town. They are ready to film every day." To read more info on this topic click here.
I'm not sure how I feel about Salter's quote. However, this news reminded me of a haunting commercial titled, "Legend", directed by Keith Rose for Allan Gray Insurance. It shows what the life of James Dean may have been like if he hadn't been in that fatal car crash in 1955. Look-a-likes were used in the commercial except in the end, where CGI technology was used to impliment James Dean.
