Talking point: Image Engine, an Academy Award-nominated studio with about 250 employees, has worked on a range of big-name titles, from “Game of Thrones” and Mulan to “Stargate SG-1” and “Lost in Space.” This isn’t the first instance of posthumous casting in modern filmmaking, though most previous examples involve an actor who died before being able to finish a shoot. That said, in 2013, candy manufacturer Mars created a CGI version of Audrey Hepburn for a commercial, and Dior had the digitally resurrected Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Marlene Dietrich exchange greetings with Charlize Theron in a perfume ad.
