Heralds a new high or a low in the movie business?

Stars from the golden era of Hollywood might hold considerable clout in the mindspace of the current generation but no technological advancement especially of the nature of trying to revive in artifical form can ever be a substitute for real acting. It undermines the very basis of what is film and patronizes an era that should be left alone and not made a spoof of.

Animation and 3D does require suspension of disbelief and pulls a few strings as far as being able to remotely associate with whats being portrayed but this seems a little to far-fetched. It has the real potential of becoming the biggest joke ever.

I'm being a little skeptical here though we all know George has the technical vision which can pull him out of his lack of story telling and character building skillz. I just hope its in good taste notwithstanding how degenerate the idea sounds.

george lucas and good taste... you my friend, are an optimist.

 

[BlueBalls]

Classy George, really classy.....

 

[meesterperfect]

this monster needs to be stopped.

Just because you can do it, Mr. Lucas, doesn't mean you should

They'll end up looking worse than Ted Turner's colorization attempt of classic B&W films during the late 80s. Very zombiesque.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

If this means I get to see Audrey Hepburn in Step-Up 4: Dis Shit B' Real, I am all for it.

Alright, this made me change my mind :clap: I just want to see Humphrey Bogart in the next Scary Movie

Somebody just strangle him already.

yeah i remember when they started doing that.
the 80's was it?
wow, its been that long.

the early real color movies however, wizard of oz, gone with the wind ect. look awesome.
something about the film they used just made the colors look so vivid.

 

[TheOrangeCat]

Hilarious.
Try resurrecting your own credibility, Lucas, before committing digital necrophilia. Remember when you used to be good? Remember when you managed to permanently alter the landscape of future fiction with a perfectly crafted, honest, inspired idea?
Help us Obi-Wan. You're our only hope.

If he actually does this then I think I'll be done with motion pictures forever and get a new hobby. I'm so disgusted with films these days. Maybe I'll start reading books again.

 

[StanScratch]

Finally, we will get that long awaited Agnes Moorehead nude scene we have all been waiting for.

 

[L3ggy]

This is a big no-no.

 

[vodkazvictim]

I also thikn this is reprehensible. Surely you get a break from working when you're dead?

 

[LukeEl]

Did he steal a copy of the Necronomican from Sam Rami?

 

[The Joker]

So I take it that Lucas the Hutt's dick must have twitched when he first watched Forrest Gump? Especially with the JFK and John Lennon scenes?

:dunno:

I take it that it wasn't enough that he (and Spielberg, though I know that Spielberg has much more talent and I hope wasn't as present for the filming as Lucas was) raped the Indiana Jones franchise with the last movie and butchered The Return of the Jedi by inserting Hayden Christensen into the scene with Yoda and Obi-Wan?

Goddamn you Curious George.
