George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars in 3D Movies, starts buying up the film rights to dead actors

STAR Wars creator GEORGE LUCAS has been buying the film rights to dead movie legends to put them together on screen.

British funnyman MEL SMITH - a pal of Lucas - said the sci-fi icon planned to use computer wizardry to show dead actors alongside each other for the first time.

It could mean screen greats such as SIR ALEC GUINESS appearing with the likes of JAMES DEAN and MARILYN MONROE.

Ex-Not The Nine O'Clock News star Mel, 58, who directed Lucas's 1994 film Radioland Murders, said Lucas was "obsessed" with computer-generated imagery.

He said: "George has been buying up the film rights to dead actors in the hope of using computer trickery to put them all together, so you'd have ORSON WELLES and BARBARA STANWYCK alongside today's stars."
