Magic City Films to digitally resurrect James Dean for new film role

Magic City Films announced plans to use a digital recreation of James Dean in the upcoming film 'Finding Jack'. The decision has sparked ethical debates about consent and the use of deceased actors' likenesses. The directors obtained rights from Dean's family, but critics argue it sets a troubling precedent. The film is currently in pre-production.
