Dead film stars could have their careers resurrected by being brought back to life on the big screen, thanks to advances in digital technology.

According to Star Wars director George Lucas, the technology is now in place for deceased Hollywood legends to star in the latest movie releases.

The advance could see silver screen greats such as John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean cast alongside today's box office heavyweights like Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.

Lucas urged his fellow directors to be cautious, however, before lining up that love scene between George Clooney and Grace Kelly. He said that audiences "would not want to see an imitation of someone who was a strong presence in real life".

What film star would you like to see resurrected? Can the technology be put to good use, or would it simply be disrespectful to the dead?
