Audrey Hepburn returns from the grave because she loves Galaxy choclate SO MUCH. DISCUSS.

Can I comment? I'm the type who's on the other side of the desk getting excited about how much fun it'll be to recreate dead people on my computer using rotoscoping of archive film footage, camera mapping and poorly paid runners being shoehorned into lime green lycra body suits.

(It's HORRIFYING, and I've never seen any of her movies. How her estate allowed this abomination to be made is beyond me. Either they somehow didn't get a say due to the footage belonging to a studio, or they're broke and couldn't afford to say no.)


(HORRIFYING!)

The horrifying part is that she'd go on the top ten if I didn't know she was a CGI dead person.

I think she looks like a character from UP.

Mars have a history of making terrible adverts. The recent (excellent) snickers ads are a blip

What's next? Betty Grable sucking cock?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Is that something you've thought about before?

 

[headvoid]

To be fair, we've been using lizard people on adverts for years. CGI was the next natural step.

Lizard People run life.

They did a similar thing a few years ago with Steve McQueen driving in a car ad, but that didn't use creepy CGI and he looked really cool so it was ok to use a dead person to endorse a product they'd never heard of because they were dead.
