Who cares if his estate agreed to it? HE didn't. His estate shouldn't have the right to make money off of things he never actually did.
Let the dead stay dead, it's just an excuse to not pay new, living artists.
That's literally how estates work.
Once I'm 6 feet under, if it could give my family a better life I'd say they should be able to agree to whatever they want on my behalf as long as it doesn't go against my will.
I know that legally they have the right. I'm saying they shouldn't have that right because reanimating a digital facsimile of your corpse just to puppet it to make money is fucked up. This includes shit like the CG Tarkin and Leia in Star Wars as well as the Tupac hologram
I'm saying it's not fucked up and I would be totally down for my family to do it
