When the dead inhabit our movie screens

I too have been waiting for this. It will take time, more technology, and intelligent/sympathetic/knowledgeable directors and writers; but I think we're going to see the artificial resurrection of John Wayne, Kate Hepburn, W.C. Fields, etc. The debates will occur, (I think), when the production team isn't careful with the "actor". Then those of us who are familiar with them, (and fans), will be disparaging. But I suspect we're a dwindling number, the up and coming generations won't care. Of course that then would mean why do it at all. If the majority of the public don't know who Groucho Marx or Maureen O'Sullivan is, then there's no monetary reason to "resurrect" them.
