James Dean, who died in 1955, has been 'posthumously cast' to be CGI-rendered into a new Vietnam War movie
James Dean, pictured here alive. Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images Brush off your cultural studies notebooks, it’s time for an ethical quandary. James Dean — the young Rebel Without a Cause actor and lesbian icon who died in a sports-car accident in 1955 — will star in a Vietnam War drama called Finding Jack in 2020. Sort of.
Director Ernst stated: “We searched high and low for the perfect character to portray the role of Rogan, which has some extreme complex character arcs, and after months of research, we decided on James Dean.” So what can the urgent plot of Finding Jack be that it requires tampering with the laws of nature and reviving the dead, Frankenstein-like, out of pieced-together footage? Glad you asked. It’s based on a sappy heart-warmer about a soldier finding his lost yellow Lab.
The filmmakers say they have Dean’s family’s blessing, but what they really mean is, they have the blessing of their rep Mark Roesler, CEO of CMG Worldwide, who stated: “This opens up a whole new opportunity for many of our clients who are no longer with us.” Now that’s what I call dystopia! Is James Dean immortal? Of course. But immortal in the “immortalized in lyrics by Taylor Swift and Hilary Duff” sense.
