Olivier returns

It has been 15 years since the death of Laurence Olivier, but the actor regarded the finest of his generation is making a Hollywood comeback.

Footage of the actor in his youth is used to create the villainous human leader of an army of gigantic killer robots for the fantasy adventure Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Jude Law, who stars as Sky Captain, said at the annual Comic-Con International sci-fi convention in San Diego that it was a dream come true to perform alongside - sort of - the classically trained Olivier.
