James Dean, who died in a 1955 car crash at the age of 24, is making an unexpected return to the big screen.
The cultural icon, known for Rebel Without a Cause and East of Eden, has been posthumously cast in the Vietnam era action-drama Finding Jack.
Directed by Anton Ernst and Tati Golykh, the project comes from the filmmakers' own recently launched production house Magic City Films, which obtained the rights to use Dean’s image from his family. Canadian VFX banner Imagine Engine will be working alongside South African VFX company MOI Worldwide to re-create what the filmmakers describe as “a realistic version of James Dean.”

I have satellite radio in my truck for sole purpose of listening to the top hits of the 70s station. I have a feeling we’re close to the same age.
David Crosby instantly invalidates your statement. So does Bob “Mumbles” Dylan. :P
Yep exactly. However this is actually a brilliant t way to get rid of actors. Since the vast majority of acing is now CGI, just get digital right to Mo roe, Bogart, Wayne, and others, pay a flat fee for digital rights, and no residuals to worry about.
