You didn't really think that Elvis Presley Enterprises would let this money making scheme slip past didja? After Tupac showed up as a "hologram' every corpse with a corporation is getting propped up for one last hurrah. Can ya blame them? Its tough to come up with new ideas from an expired product. So lets make digi-king and send him on the road!
Elvis Presley Enterprises said: "This is a new and exciting way to bring the magic and music of Elvis to life."
"His lifelong fans will be thrilled all over again and new audiences will discover the electric experience of Elvis the performer."
Yeah, I'm a life long fan and it embarrass me.
Although the striking, 3D images have been called "holograms", they are in fact the result of an optical illusion pioneered in the Victorian era. Known as Pepper's Ghost, the illusion involves projecting the image on an angled piece of glass. So its not as high tech as you'd think- begging to wonder why no one has done this before.
The massive undertaking will be in the hands of The Digital Domain Media Group, co-founded by Avatar director James Cameron.
They have previously created computer-generated human characters for films including The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, TRON: Legacy and X-Men: First Class.
I just wonder what era of the King will be making the rounds..black velvet or white jumpsuit?
