George Lucas Denies Claims That He Is Digitally Resurrecting the Dead
British tabloid newspaper publisher The Sunlight claims that Lucas is snapping up the photographic film rights for dead celebrities, and cites a comic as its author.
You can shelve any hopes of seeing Alec Guinness dally Obeah-Wan Kenobi one last time, as Star Wars head up honcho George Lucas has refuted rumors that he plans to bring long deceased actors back to life using the bootleg arts of computer graphics.
The story originated in British tabloid newspaper publisher, The Sun. Comedian Mel Smith, who worked with Lucas on the picture Radioland Murders in 1994, and was described as Lucas' "pal," plain said that the director had been quietly buying up the film rights for dead actors. Lucas was "preoccupied" with computer imagery, Smith said, and wanted the likes of Orson Orson Welles and Barbara Stanwyck to appear alongside progressive actors. The inevitable denial of these claims was terse and relevant. A spokesperson for LucasFilm simply said that the rumor was artificial and didn't go into some more detail.
This would prospective be the line that LucasFilm took regardless of the validity of the rumors, simply even the most fervent critic of Lucas would have to admit that the source of the rumor is a little fishy. British tabloids don't have the best reputation for accuracy primarily, and the Solarise in particular has no problem re-writing its own content to make it more sensational. I'm not sure The Sun would make this level up from entire material, but I wonder if the quote from Smith has been presented out of context.
