In a few years, maybe you can. Computer imagery already used in today's films is only a step away from doing it. Imagine a new script, spoken in Wayne's voice, by Wayne's image, including his mannerisms.

I know a few commercials may have done this to a lesser extent. I am talking about an entire, original movie.

I suppose the estate will have to license his image for a film to be made. I wonder how far we are from various deceased actors' estates selling the license?

So much for late night musings, when I'm supposed to be working.

I would sure hope not. That would take away an individuals history. In today's world there would be no telling what kind of character some liberal director would have the Duke acting as?!?!?

Not if they have to fake it and use a politically correct story line. Forget it.

"Fill your hands you misguided children."

Do not taint "The Duke's" legacy, of all the actors in Hollyweird The Duke is untouchable! I was talking with a woman, many years ago now, and we were working on setting up a date when she asked a question about my favorite actor, I said John Wayne and she started a tyraid and calling him all kinds of names like misogynist and womanizer etc, I gave her the "what-for" and stopped the conversation dead in its tracks. John Wayne's reputation is irrefutable and to this day is probably one of the single most honest men ever to walk in modern Hollyweird period.

Remakes never work

Justice to the original can never be delivered

Always to much fake drama is added

John Wayne playing John Wayne Gacy. I smell an Oscar

IDK.....I enjoyed the remake of True Grit more than the original.

Ok sometimes they work. Lol

I will have to look that one up

Jeff Bridges is an excellent actor, if not for the top quality actors that remake would have bombed. A lot of the B rated movies would be A movies and blockbusters if they could have gotten the best actors, then again some of the B rated movies are just that because of the poor storyline and/or writing.

That’s just downright unchristian!!!!!

I can hear it now.... JW saying well now I'll tell ya Pilgrim, oh boy, I shouldn't have said that, it was offensive and I apologize. Well I'll tell ya livestock management technician, we shouldn't ride off after those indigenous peoples cause it's too dangerous and there are endangered turtle's we need to be careful of. Nope, I think we should find a safeplace, eat some of Mr. Chen Lee's corn dodgers and hope someone else takes care of it.

There is a reason why we die, besides old age .

Sounds pretty close catch lol

x2, it didn't have Glen Campbell in it! and Jeff Bridges did a great job.

John Wayne vs Blacklivesmatter thugs.....

Imagine all the actors and actresses who will be out of work, replaced not by robots, but by computer simulations.

Jim

A lot of the acting now days is computer generated.

I wish the Duke was still here!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. The remake was better.
