Using a CG Harrison Ford while he is still alive and against his wishes would be opening a hellacious lawsuit. An actor's ability to get a job, any job, would be compromised once their digital likeness and body language was in the can. How could an artist still have the right to turn down porn flicks, snuff movies, crass ads, political treatises, etc., if a studio had the mesh and the money to create a film directly opposing the actor's wishes? Even paying them for the unapproved usage wouldn't be enough if they could never work again... if they were reduced to a commodity and that further reduced and cheapened? Besides the lawsuit and the public turn-off, any serious actor would flee the business rather than face ruination of his image. How could he show his face in a restaurant? How could he get a marketing deal? Plastic surgery and a new ID isn't the answer for everyone! Carolly
