Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Doctor Who: Ask the Matrix: Ethics of digital resurrections of dead "Who" actors/actresses

They’ve been edging towards it with the animated recreations of some of the missing episodes, such as Power of the Daleks.

Give it a decade or two and... God Only Knows.

Thoughts?

Anything would be better than cartoons.

Not terribly different than recasting Hartnell. Twice.

If they get the okay from the heirs of the actor in question first, then yes.

Otherwise, no.

Who wouldn't want to immortalise a loved one, whilst presumably pocketing some cash for it?


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 - 5:36 am:

There will be some people who will just want their loved one to rest in peace.

Which making a digital facsimile of them would in no way impede.

Digital Cary Grant in a love scene with Margaret "Maisie" Williams... ?


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Wednesday, March 11, 2020 - 5:26 am:

Ugh, no!

Besides, that doesn't apply here, as the thread is about dead Who actors/actresses and:

1. Maisie Williams is still alive.

2. Gary Grant never appeared on Doctor Who.

You'd THINK so but Who implies otherwise - see: Testimony's Bill, the Library's River, Pandorica's Rory, Big Bang's Doctor...to quote Matt in The Pandorica Opens, 'If something can be remembered, it can come back...'

Who's Gary Grant?


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Saturday, October 31, 2020 - 5:32 am:

Cary's unknown twin brother :-)

There could be two CGI'd Cary Grants known as, Cary and Gary Grant.


By Kevin (Kevin) on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 - 3:36 pm:

Who's Gary Grant?
Jo's uncle, the one with the clout?


By Tim McCree (Tim_m) on Thursday, December 30, 2021 - 5:26 am:

Good one, Kevin :-)

Only if they can regenerate.
