Even James Dean, who died in 1955 at age 24, is said to be headed back to the big screen in the new movie \u201cFinding Jack\u201d thanks to sophisticated new animation techniques. (Dean replaces Elvis Presley, whose estate wisely said no to the stunt.) Just what Dean dreamed of as he was studying at the Actors Studio during a time when talking 3D holograms were practically witchcraft \u2014 being a bucket \u2018o pixels and an algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still early enough for Lionsgate (whose god-awful flops \u201cMoonfall\u201d and \u201cChaos Walking\u201d inspire as much confidence as a century-old rope bridge over a canyon) to pick a route that doesn\u2019t make viewers want to bury their heads in their popcorn: a couple of flashback scenes from the 1987 flick paired with a whole new young couple. (The best choice would be to make no sequel at all, but fat chance. It\u2019s one of the studio\u2019s most lucrative properties.) Grey said she\u2019d love to get Harry Styles for the movie. Fine!<\/p>\n<p>All I know is that if Hollywood turns the wonderful, gone-too-soon Swayze into the T-Rex from \u201cJurassic World,\u201d I will not have the time of my life.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
