With deep fakes getting so good, I wonder if they'll start recycling old actors as well as old movies.


You know how Hollywood loves to go back to things that were popular in the past.

Imagine something like this: Sidney Poitier is Sheriff Brody in a new thrilling take on that timeless classic, Jaws!

You'll never go in the water again... again!

I've been thinking about that, with movies and music. Basically, a program where you can insert whoever you want. Maybe in a couple of years?

I didn't even think about that possibility. The technology is going to be there, soon, though, I'd think. Maybe you'll get a list of options for who you want to see in a movie.

I’m sure they are going to eventually digitize the original Star Trek cast.

They should deep fake Brando's face onto De Niro in Godfather II.

Surely they would need to purchase the rights to use the actor's image from their estate, and, in many cases, they'd likely, and quite rightly, be denied that right.

Finally we can look forward to Gary Busey as Iron Man.
