Hollywood history buffs amongst you will know that James Dean was tragically killed in 1955. And American history buffs will know that the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War really escalated in the subsequent decade, the 1960s.

But last month, news broke that a Vietnam War movie called Finding Jack is in the offing - starring the very same (and very deceased) James Dean.
As you can imagine, the decision hasn't gone down well in some quarters. But the move does raise some interesting questions around the ethics, the law, and the cutting-edge digital technology behind recreating long-since-dead movie stars on screen in the 21st century.
