@painlessissuicide, like i said, it barely even sounds like Sir Laurence Olivier.

@AncientHistoryBuff can you not read?
Jude Law has said that it was his dream as an actor to work alongside Laurence Olivier
since Olivier had been dead twenty years, the director actually went through the trouble of digging through decades worth of test footage of Olivier to put this together

@painlessissuicide - "of course, Olivier had been dead for twenty years"
not in the realm of eXistenZ, tranCendeZ, or AI though

@JMYodaTHX - 'Olivier is a brilliant actor cheating death using computers by playing a brilliant scientist cheating death using computers.'
we must go deeper

@GhostPlanetFilms - it's the end of that level in Ikari Warriors, with the dead skull&bones guy in the chair...

why the hell use old footage of one of the greatest actors of the 20th century and manipulate it to make it look as if he actually appeared in the film? it even barely sounds like Sir Laurence Olivier. View any of his movies that he did when he was alive: his Shakespeare films, Wuthering Heights (1939), Rebecca (1940) and Pride And Prejudice (1940). they're much better and show Sir Laurence Olivier at his best.

Jude Law had said that it was his dream as an actor to work alongside Sir Laurence Olivier
of course, Olivier had been dead for twenty years
so the director went through this trouble as a favor for Oscar nominee Law to take his chances on this homage to science fiction of the early 20th century
