Wait what, #4 was the actor recreated? Never noticed that!
Fun Fact: The voice actor for Elvis in Forrest Gump was Kurt Russell, who's played Elvis in multiple times in his career.
I miss Brandon Lee
this is outdated
Isn't the point of special effects to be subtle enough that you almost can't tell it's fake? The Volkswagen company apparently can't understand this rule, because you can totally tell the face is pasted on.
Star Wars Rogue One. Pretty sure they asked EA to help them with that one.
After watching Star wars Rogue one, this list could be updated
I just watched The Crow and you can't tell that it's CG at all.
This list needs obvious updating. What about Paul Walker, or holographic Tupac, etc? Also, should've just said famous people, since there were more than just actors on this list. So…nope. Disagree with the list.
no mention of Richard Nixon in Watchmen?
Shemp was used after he was dead.
Forrest Gumps
11. Peter Cushing
why did you miss Paul walker
George McFly Back to the future 2
you missed Paul walker in furious seven
I like this maybe some day making a movie would be just like making a cg cartoon id like to see john wayne as a star ship captain
Audrey Hepburn looks just like Ashley Rickards from the show awkward.
My poor Brandon. RIP. Also Michael Masse died not that long ago and his life was also ruined by having the bad prop gun put in his hand. Poor guy blamed himself and didn't act for years. So unfair considering he had no part in the prop gun's set up.
Where is Paul Walker from Fast and Furious 7 ?
soon there'll be no actor at the scene all CGI and their voices and performances.
Arnold's likeness in Terminator Genesys could also make this list, as they show a younger, CGI version of him in that film as well. And the technology improved between Salvation and Genesis as well.
Michael Jackson
Gene Kelly ad is kinda racist. Lol.
Gene Kelly had a fever throughout that entire shoot. The other guy needed a wetsuit? Weenie
You forgot clones
