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:

 

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.
