James Dean to star in new movie

I don't know what the point is. The guy's been dead 64 years. Would anyone recognize him if they saw him? I never liked his looks and I thought his acting was terrible. He never behaved like a normal person. 

But they're going to digitally resurrect James Dean for a "secondary lead role" in a Vietnam War movie called Finding Jack, about dogs used by the US military that were abandoned. 

“We feel very honored that his family supports us and will take every precaution to ensure that his legacy as one of the most epic film stars to date is kept firmly intact,” producer Anton Ernst said in a statement. “The family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not intend to let his fans down.”

He has fans?

I saw Rebel Without a Cause. He didn't seem like much of a rebel wearing slacks and sport coat to high school. His main complaint seemed to be that his parents didn't give him easy-to-follow commands to obey. When he screams, "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!" it's because they don't agree whether he should abstain from alcohol completely or drink in moderation if he's going to drink.

But what do I know. Maybe a digitally simulated James Dean is exactly what the public wants.
