I'm assuming James Dean's estate will make the same amount of money from this that a living James Dean would have made doing this movie? If not, then this opens a Pandora's box - why hire any famous person for a role when you can keep reviving the dead? If people are okay with Virtual-James, then there is no need for Real-anyone. OTOH, I wonder if they thought this about cartoons and early CGI. Probably. There is no easy answer.
