Al Pacino is a very famous director and he "creates" a beautiful actress via a computer and he names her "Simulation One"...or "Simone" for short.

Anyway, she becomes super-famous and eventually people want to meet her but he can't disclose her true identity.

Seems funny.

Seems very interesting to me... I'd like to see how the movie explores the idea of people perhaps accepting a digital actress without a real-life counterpart. If people can't tell the difference between digital and real-life actors/actresses, or if people are just as entertained by the digital ones, would there be a struggle for digital actor/actress rights to follow?

Maybe we saw the attempted beginnings of this kind of stuff with the recent Final Fantasy movie -- if the actress is good looking, realistic enough, and talented (talent that is a direct product of the talent/resources of the animator/director), there's not much to stop me from being a big "fan" !!

So is she a real person or a digital creation? I do believe there will be a time where charaters in digital are so real we can forgo the actors. But is that now?

so... she's a real person, playing a fake person, playing a real person?

This idea has been explored in some Japanese animations in the past.
