Hollywood rebel James Dean is walking the screen again in a new advert that imagines what his life would have been like had he not died in a car crash aged just 24. Technology brings the Rebel Without A Cause star back to life - and then ages him, showing a startlingly realistic version of what might have been.He is shown receiving a lifetime achievement Oscar, as a director, protesting against the Vietnam War, and as a rather Angelina Jolie-like humanitarian ambassador. In the final scene he has a car accident in a Porsche Spyder - just as in 1955 - but this time, as the smoke clears, a slightly stunned Dean is shown drawing a deep, shocked breath - very much alive.
The film, entitled 'Legend', finishes with the tagline: 'Given more time, imagine the possibilities'. It is just an advertisement for the South African investment company Allan Gray - but it has taken film critics by storm.
