Uh-oh ...

This always goes terribly wrong in movies ...
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/aug/16/de-extinction-scientists-are-planning-the-multimillion-dollar-resurrection-of-the-tasmanian-tiger
Breeding a complex mammal from a few DNA remnants? I believe it when I see it and can pat it on the head, cute little zebra dog or whatever it is.
Reminds me of this movie here ...
... which was a pleasure to see because for once Dafoe was not typecast as the villain or nutcase, but as a man initially just doing his job and learning to have second thoughts about it. The CGI for the Tasmanian Tiger is nothing to write home about (you don't even see it in the trailer and for good reason too), but the movie has other aims and strengths.

Why? There's got to be something more useful to do with millions of dollars. And it just doesn't sound like a good idea.

But families will love it!
I dunno, I guess it's collective guilt at making them extinct in the first place. They look kinda cool. Not sure how Tasmanian farmers with livestock feel about the idea. It's gonna be the old "wolf vs. no wolf" discussion.

When I first heard about the genetic recreation of an extinct tiger, I thought they were planning to resurrect Georges Clemenceau.
