Deep Fake movies

[sdp]

Anyone looking forward to deep fake movies? The tech is already so good and it's only getting better every few months, anyone excited at the possibilities?

We could get for example new star wars movies with a young Luke Skywalker and cast, dead actors, old actors, actors that don't exist., realistic aliens. All of this without CGi. The tech is so good that one person was able to make a better Princess Leia in Rogue One than the thousands of dollars Disney spent on making a young CG Leia, they did it again with Mandolorian Luke and Disney decided to just hire that guy instead since he did a better job from his own home.

I'm not against it, but I'd be a bigger fan of older actors still alive lending their voice to CGIed younger selves. Examples being: Clint Eastwood in a Dirty Harry 6, Harrison Ford in some "Missing" younger Indiana Jones tales, etc..

It's unethical.

Not if they're still alive, certainly.

This one is impressive. I’ve seen others but they glitch.

Ya as long as the actors agree it’s like using their likeness for a game or cartoon.

Gemini Man did a pretty good job de-aging Will Smith. It was basically Fresh Prince accurate but still noticeably cgi. Especially because you’re constantly analyzing it.

Hollywood is cooked right?
It basically looks realistic enough for me, in many ways it looks better than the shoddy CG we usually get. We don't need to make huge improvements anymore, just being able to make much longer videos. I'm guessing we'll be seeing full 1/2 hour episodes in a year or two prompted by fans. Feature films are likely not too far behind.

This thread isn't even about deepfakes over some other actor anymore, the tech has progressed so much that we can literally prompt anything into existance.

I saw a pretty interesting one where Cruise from "Mission Impossible" is fighting Reeves from "John Wick". It was awesome....

The problem is they can only do a minute or two of "animation," I don't think we'll ever get full 1-2 hours of this stuff, unless they splice them together of different clips but the work would be absurd.

Here's a Spider-Man 4 I did.

This is only a temporary problem though. You can already grab the meta data so the AI doesn't forget what it already rendered and doesn't change the way the characters look.
These models will eventually allow for longer videos to be made.

I've also noticed the trend that when these new models come out, they give them to people without limits and only later start dialing it back when it comes to letting them use copyrighted material.
I don't see how Hollywood can compete, and I don't see how Hollywood can justify spending millions on shoddy CG when it can just prompt better looking stuff now even if they continue to do stuff the 'traditional' way.

The tech is still early but it's easy to see this is the future of media, fan made stuff and even prompt your own show/movie to watch. The subscription services will now be about using copyrighted content. Oh you want to prompt or watch prompted star wars movie sequels, subscribe to Disney+, you want a black fat April O'Neil in your 1987 Season 11, subscribe to Paramount+" etc
The 'piracy' of the future will be using unrestricted models that allow you to prompt/watch prompted stuff of copyrighted characters.
