    From the Beeb:

    Soon virtual stuntmen could be carrying out the physical feats too dangerous for people to take on.
    Oxford-based Natural Motion has developed a simulation system that lets them swiftly generate action sequences that would ordinarily demand the skills of a stuntman.

    The AI system controlling the bodies of the simulated stuntmen means they fall, run, move and react like real people.

    The simulation system is already being used to create stunts for the forthcoming movie Troy.


    Full story here

    I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine,
    'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman, that makes Eastwood look so fine....


    The virtual stuntman is probably as an acomplished actor as Lee Majors as well.... :D
