R/€ Clone wars not yet over
November 16, 2009 Edition 1
Michael Jackson wanted to build a clone of himself.
The star underwent several three-dimensional scans in 1996 so a virtual reality "robotic" twin could be produced. It's thought the scans could now be used to bring the singer back in pop videos, computer games or even films.
The anonymous US businessman who owns the images, and has reportedly been trying to sell them for $1 million, told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "The data has been in our archives since Michael had the scans. The thing about this data is it immortalised him at the age of 37, before his nose was disfigured and when he was in the prime of his life."
