James Dean, dead 64 years, will be resurrected via technology to star in new movie
Cool or creepy? A Hollywood film company plans to resurrect iconic actor James Dean, killed in a car wreck in 1955, and "cast" him in a new movie via special effects technology.
Magic City Films announced Wednesday it has obtained the rights from Dean's family to cast him posthumously in a secondary lead role in a Vietnam-era action drama "Finding Jack."
The movie, based on a novel of the same name by Gareth Crocker, will tell the true story about the abandonment of thousands of canine units as "surplus military equipment" after the end of the Vietnam War, and the adventure that ensues when a smitten soldier refuses to leave his best friend behind, according to IMDb.
Casting of live actors (and presumably dogs) for the film is underway, according to a news release from public relations company Falco Ink.
