I have cobbled together a rough layout for a retro film noir remake of a well known film  Now the nightmarish world of painting decent likenesses 

WIP 1:

 

Mysterious red boxes.

Will it have modern actors or will it be one of those CGI dead actors films?

The red boxes are just place holders for text.

The film is an imaginary version made in the late forties/early fifites, so the actors would be the real actors shown in the mockup 

oohhhh.... when you said remake I figured the original was from the 40ies or so...

I guess I phrased it poorly. It's more a "what if the film was made then?" deal. 

I see

I was considering using actor likenesses too, but for the idea I actually have their faces wouldn't show anyway I guess, so... it wouldn't be much point.

Remember that classic 50s film where Humphrey Bogart's famous detective was shot and killed and then his body was brought back as a robot policeman?
Or something??

 

 

I have got a bit further and finger-painted most of the car but that's saved on another device and may get posted later when I find the file. It's still gonna be tricky to finish this as there's just too much football on TV this month. But we'll see what happens.
