…and now it’s news. Funny how that keeps happening.
Christopher Reeve and Bruce Lee, the two late action stars, may be seen on the silver screen once more should the government’s “digital actor” plan pan out.
Headed by Science-Technology Minister Kim Woo-sik, the nation’s 16 science-related ministers decided Thursday to funnel 15 billion won ($15.7 million) to create digital actors starting next year.
“Life-like digital actors will be generated through computer graphic technologies. Late actors or historical figures will be restored on the film screen,” said Bae Tae-min, director at the Ministry of Science and Technology.
“Through a feasibility test and thanks to our technological edge in computer graphics, we confirmed the project is viable here in Korea. The prospects are pretty bright,” Bae said.
