I met someone a few years back who apparently worked in the field of ‘digital persona management’ which is basically an agent for actors’ likeness after they die. It sounded like families and estates were very interested in the concept as long dead actors could potentially become movie stars again in theory.

That sounds like a fairly big ethical dilemma that Disney will happily ignore if making a puppet show out of people's corpses earns them a few extra bucks

This will only be a thing for a while. Why pay somebody's grandchildren when you can create a new face that's yours?
