What are the ethical and moral concerns with this?

Every film fan knows it would be immoral to resurrect B grade actors from B grade movies.

George Lucas wants to become a necromancer!

But, seriously, I see no big moral or ethics implications.

I don't know. They could make some sick stuff like a porno with Ron Jeremy and the girl from Wizard of Oz or Elvis and Benny Hill.

So what if they did? How would that be different than using look-alike porn stars?

Who in his right mind would want to look like Ron Jeremy?

Um... I hate to burst the bubble of outrage, but I feel I should point out this has been done before... starting with Brandon Lee in the Crow, and then through more recent and extreme examples, like Sir Lawrence Olivier in Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow.

Its not exactly a new idea, though, of course, the technology is getting better all the time.

I think that would require a real necromancer.

Not much other than if a person wanted their honor to be upheld or if their family did, doing something like that without permission could be problematic.
