X-Message-Number: 19870 Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 08:52:08 -0500 From: " - KC Homes - www.iggy.net" <> Subject: New Movie - Simulated Actor - Simone "Simone" - a new Al Pacino movie is out soon. It has a digitized simulated actress - Simone - abbreviation for "Simulation One". It appears that we are in the phase of film technology that we don't know in the end if the reality is different from simulation and if they are not the same? :o) This is the way the future most likely will be in the movies. I can see film stars of Harrison Ford caliber residing in the computers :o) - would be fun to see Jay Leno or David Letterman interview them :o) You can ask "How real are celebrities?" - you can worship a "fake" one as much as "the real ones." They are packaged, stamped out and thrown out to the public. "Digital" idols are created through digital effects that the audiences cannot even notice. A few pounds can be taken off an actor or digital make up applied. This brings up an issue if a visual image can be trusted any more. They are often doctored in news. "Simone" is produced the creator of "Gattaca" and "Truman Show" - a couple of movies that also turn heads.
