American actor James Dean has been dead for 65 years. James Dean, who died at the age of 24 in September 1955, starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology, which generates images of James Dean by the computer.
The idea that one of the movies’ most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has met with criticism. Captain America’s actor Chris Evans called the plan to use Dean’s images in the film disrespectful.
However, Mark Roesler, chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183,000 followers on Instagram, and he is still important today. He is known as Hollywood’s ‘rebel(叛逆者)’who famously said that if a man could bridge the gap(间隔) between life and death, if he could live after he was dead, then maybe he was a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 1950s is absolutely different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern-day act of rebellion.”
Anton Ernst, the film’s director, said, “I respect Dean’s life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean’s fans worldwide and there would always be critics. All we can do is tell a great story.” Ernst added, “The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not want to make his fans disappointed.”

本文是一篇记叙文。美国影星James Dean于1955年9月30日因车祸去世,年仅24岁。他一生只主演过三部影片——《无因的反叛》、《伊甸园之东》和《巨人传》。仅仅凭借3部影片,他在社交网站Ins上就有超过183,000名追随者。65年后人们利用数字技术通过计算机生成James Dean的图像,他将出演一部由Anton Ernst导演的全新的越战题材剧情片。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中Captain America�s actor Chris Evans called the plan to use Dean�s images in the film disrespectful.可知,Chris Evans出演的是Captain America。
5.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中What was considered rebellious in the 1950s is...this modern-day act of rebellion.可知,Roesler认为在今天用数字技术复原已经死去的人是一种叛逆的行为,因其叛逆的形象而著称的James Dean会支持这一叛逆行为的。
