Lunchtime ASX small cap: Who’s being (digitally) resurrected today?

James Dean is returning to the silver screens after a six and a half decade absence.

The Rebel Without A Cause star passed away in a car crash in 1955 but he will be starring in the Vietnam War era drama Finding Jack.

Of course filmmakers aren’t bringing him back from the dead literally, he will be revived using computer-generated imagery (CGI) technology, which up until now has been used to bring to the big screen extinct animals and fictional monsters.
