The legendary British actor and director Sir Laurence Olivier died in 1989, but was resurrected for the 2004 sci-fi adventure film, which was created entirely using CGI and motion capture. Olivier "played" the film's villain, but he only appears towards the end as a hologram. To achieve the effect, Entertainment Weekly reported that Olivier's likeness was culled from archival footage and clips from his movies, with a new actor recording the dialogue.
