The recent kerfuffle about the Roald Dahl Estate deciding to release cleaned-up versions of his children's books so they cause less "offence", as well as the estate of Ian Fleming deciding to publish less racist versions of his James Bond books, besides smacking of Orwellian Thought Police in this increasingly 'sanitised' age, but it also brings to mind an occasion when Peter Cushing's likeness was used in Rogue One - with the consent of his estate.

There were those who objected to the idea of bringing back a deceased actor's face from the grave (although it does have precedents, such as Laurence Oliver in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and goodness knows how many newer versions of Humphrey Bogart), or indeed that the voice did not resemble the beloved Mr. Cushing. I suspect in his case, he would have been overjoyed at the idea of a Frankenstein-style resuscitation, and would be glad that it gave some work to his fellow British actor Guy Henry, as well as serving as a continuing memento of Cushing's career extending into the 21st century.
At any rate, he would not have minded anywhere near as much as Mr. Dahl or Mr. Fleming.
