All joking aside, it’s a big financial risk. The production cost £140m, so payback could take a long time.
Too much of a gamble for a similar production for Elvis or the Beatles apparently, but no doubt licence holders for both will be following its progress with great interest.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Well as they did it first I guess it’s safe to say that “the winner takes it all” I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Given they spent 1000's of hours in body suits with reference points on and were filmed with 120 camera's or something like that from every angle as each one sang every ABBA song I don't think they'll be an Elvis Avatar any time soon. They did try a few years back with Whitney Houston, taking old films and stitching them together to create a 3d hologram and the end result was generally considered to be pretty
SWMBO is looking to get tickets for the ABBA thing when it starts to 'tour' but I imagine every event will sell out in minutes as there are enough ABBA fans worldwide for any event, I don't think it will take long to recoup their outlay....

the technology will only get better over time and the money scenario will show itself a winner...
