Oliver Reed and his part in GLADIATOR...

The report went on to say that the producers are thinking of superimposing Ollie's head onto the body of a stunt double. They then went on to show some test footage of this which had been produced by someone at 'Rushe(?) Post Production)' using Flame software.

There's a small report on this at the BBC News website, the article's address being:
