And some of it struck him as, well, a little silly. Why does he think and hope so? Acting, again, is the art of presence. How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? Alexi Sargeant is a theater director and culture critic who writes from New York. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. News of the World Brian Tallerico. My own childhood memories of Cushing recall his intense and frighteningly morbid version of Dr. Still, although he was at the top of his form in the Hammer horrors — able to reel off pages of dialogue while busily moving about an overdressed Victorian set, all in a single take - the films typecast him more than most. A rush to protect the dignity of one beloved actress in the immediate aftermath of her death does little to suggest a general turn against digital resurrection. He feels that morality and ethics are the concerns of those without the wherewithal and brains to build secret laboratories to practice reanimating life in. Strikes me as the height of preciousness. She is a technologist, she explained. CGI masks collapse the original actor into the role, making their successors not actors but imitators. But the blockbuster introduced him to a new generation of fans. So his appearance ripped me out of the film as my brain ran down a path screaming of hows and wtf. Use the sections below to order. Outside the Wire Glenn Kenny. Peter Cushing brought his face, and with it his gentlemanly demeanor and his chops as a veteran of genre film. Henry had a different task, and one he seems to have found nerve-racking: mimicking the deceased Cushing as closely as humanly possible. Makers of film and television find ways to respond to the death of an actor, from recasting a role without comment like Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films to making the changeover of lead actors a central motif of a series the Doctor in Doctor Wh o. Naturally, they look to applications beyond entertainment, such as therapeutic post-mortem encounters. Is it responsible to perfect and popularize this technology? Today, cable's Horror Channel is running a birthday marathon; several of his films including a rare, uncensored "Horror of Dracula" are now on BluRay. In between, though, Cushing made sure to play the beloved Dr. He coldly presided over the construction of the Death Star, commanded an underwater army of Nazi zombies and scooped brains out of skulls like so many two-minute eggs.

Is it for the sake of actors like him, asked to put on cumbersome headpieces and burdensome personae? A few recent instances are hard to fault. Peter Cushing : A Life in Film Writer Greg rated it really liked it Nov 16, If we concede that the human body has some sort of dignity, such that it is not appropriate, even in death, to treat it like any other piece of meat, then that dignity does not reside only in the matter or only in the form. And there are no heroes or villains in this story. This book was so full of detail it was hard to read. Digital resurrection raises broader questions than simply whether this or that CGI revenant was respectful to the dead and artistically effective.

Author David Miller has written a definitive guide to the stage and screen career of a legendary star, drawing upon conversations with Cushing's friends and colleagues, archive material held by the BBC and Hammer Film Productions, and previously unpublished correspondence with Cushing himself. The ghost of Cushing we see summoned in Rogue One is missing that human element. Surface mail takes up to 6 weeks currently possibly longer but this cost has remained the same. In those cases, the ethics would involve the consent of the actor — and the art involves an element of expense that such modest films are unlikely to be able to incur.

So a real actor was on set, performing, and then they were overlayed with the original actors. Fake news purveyors are not the only ones being done a favor by this new development. There are some reasons for hope. The below video is a visit to ILM headquarters where the team behind the special effects explained exactly how they achieved the recreations of both Tarkin and a young Princess Leia. He simply gave performances you never forgot. Once again, Cushing put a new twist on the character, turning Van Helsing from an avuncular Dutch doctor into a bit of a swashbuckler. Guy Henry, the actor whose face was replaced by the digital Cushing mask, has expressed something akin to this unease. Details if other :.

    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

  • 1 Ken Clarke
    KEN CLARKE - MY PROFESSIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY When I left junior school at the age of twelve my plastering career started at the well known building Arts & Craft Secondary School, ‘Christopher Wren’, and from this early age I was particularly interested in fibrous plastering. It was a known fact that, of a class of 16, two of the pupils, after four years of schooling, would start their training at a major film studio. I passed my GCE in Building Craft, Paintwork and Plasterwork (copy 1 attached) and was one of the lucky two to be chosen to start training at Shepperton Studios. This was my first achievement (copy 2 – letter of engagement, 9 June 1964, attached). I started Shepperton Studios in the plastering Dept on 22 June 1964 under conditions of a six-month probationary period and a further 4 and half years. During this five-year apprenticeship, I was to do through the block release system, eight weeks at work and two weeks at Art & Craft College ‘Lime Grove’. At the end of five years I was awarded my basic and final City and Guilds in plastering (basic June 1966 and final June 1968 – copies 3 and 4 attached). This was a big achievement for any young man – for me; it was the beginning of a big career. After my five years I was presented with one of the very last certificates of apprenticeship offered by the ‘Film Industry Training Apprenticeship Council’. Thus, my apprenticeship came to an end. (Letter of thanks and delivery of my deeds and certificate 1 June 1969.

  • Laurence Olivier in Hamlet (1949)
    1 Laurence Olivier in Hamlet (1949) In the late 1930s and early 1940s, when Samuel Goldwyn, MGM, and David Selznick were wooing him, Laurence Olivier chose not to become a movie star “like dear Cary.” After playing Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights (1939), Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (1940), and Maxim Dewinter in Rebecca (1940), he appeared in Hollywood pictures sparingly and tried to avoid a fixed persona. He nevertheless became the symbol of what midcentury America thought of as a distinguished actor, and was the most successful English theatrical type in the movies. He wasn’t romantically flamboyant (Orson Welles was closer to that), he wasn’t a naturalist like the students of the Method, he wasn’t a Brechtian, and he wasn’t the sort of movie actor who plays variations on a single character. He belonged instead to a school of disciplined, tastefully romantic verisimilitude, and within that school was a master. He was also the best-known Shakespearian in films. Olivier often said that his favorite movie role was the working-class comedian Archie Rice in The Entertainer (1960), but his performances in the Shakespeare films that he directed are more representative of his skills and more significant in film history. Based on canonical texts with a long performance history, they foreground his stylistic choices 2 and make his influences relatively easy to identify. His version of Hamlet (1949), for example, seems to derive pretty equally from the English romantics, Sigmund Freud, and William Wyler. These sources are not so eclectic as they might appear. Romantic-realist ideas of narrative shaped nearly all feature films of the period; Wyler had been the director of Wuthering Heights and at one point was scheduled to direct Olivier’s production of Henry V; and Olivier’s conceptions of character and performance are similar to the ones that shaped Hollywood in the 1940s, when Freud was in vogue.

  • Derek Johnston "... and the BBC Created Hammer"
    Derek Johnston "... And the BBC Created Hammer": Examining the Interdependence of Public Service Broadcaster and Exploitation Film-maker Paper Given at the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ Study Day, University of East Anglia, 17 February 2010 The connection between the BBC and the Hammer film company is not often commented on beyond the passing association with each of the films which Hammer adapted individually from BBC properties. Yet the number of such properties as a whole and the importance of their position within the development of Hammer as a company has received less attention. This paper will investigate the way that Hammer's films based on BBC radio properties helped the company to establish itself as a successful British exploitation film-maker, while the adaptations of the Quatermass television serials led to the establishment of the Hammer identity as a British horror film producer. The paper will also examine the BBC attitude towards Hammer, as revealed through files at the BBC Written Archives Centre, which expose some of the tensions of the differing corporate identities. However, I will argue that it was these very tensions which were at the heart of the success of these properties in both media, and that the differing approaches to the material taken by the BBC and Hammer are suggestive of differing aspects of British post-War cultural identity. The monopoly BBC Television Service has acquired something of an image of being a high-minded, socially-concerned body, governed by Reith's principle that the BBC should 'inform, educate and entertain', presumably in that order.
