Virtual Celebrity Productions is the first "dead"-talent agency dedicated exclusively to reanimating and licensing a stable of posthumous star talent. Thanks to special f/x 3-D computer modeling, once buried stars James Cagney, Vincent Price, W.C. Fields, Groucho Marx, George Burns, and Sammy Davis, Jr. can now be cast in TV commercials and feature films. The concept puts a new spin on the old MGM slogan "more stars than there are in heaven."
