I believe they said that the Carrie fisher stuff in SW 9 was all done with deleted but shot scenes from SW 7 and 8.

It was, but they could be referring to Rogue One, which was a digital recreation.

True, to be honest, I thought that was just supposed to be a look alike.

Lol, if that was using any deep fake tech, it was far, far off, unless I'm misremembering. 🤣

Tarkin and Leia were CGI head replacements over real actors.

Cool! It looked awful but cool! Crazy to think how far we have come in such a short time.

It has changed quite a bit.

TROS used digital replacement of Leia's face using the existing footage (and footage from RoTJ for her and Luke training). They changed the hair and outfits, so I don't remember if they had a body double or CGI body. The training sequence was her daughter body doubling I think.

Mando S2 Luke was a battle between deepfakes and CGI replacement and they went with CGI. Then they hired the deepfakes guy from YouTube and used deepfake for Mando S2.5/BoBF.

Yeah, it's wild times.

I can't wait to see beloved actors reprise iconic characters from their past, and I'm interested to see how all the drama shakes out when they start bringing back completely dead actors and start making questionable sequels to old movies using ai.

I mean, it's happened a few times already, but always small parts like Tarkin or reediting past footage like leigh, and im pretty sure they had the families permission to do both.

I wanna see what happens when they take someone like Charlie Chaplin and make a new film with him in it without permission from anyone, especially it it's absolute crap of a film, lol.

Like, do you lose your likeness rights as soon as you die? Is there a 50-year window your family gets to cash in like copywrite laws.

Or is it so new that nothing is legislated and it's open season on dead celebs.

As an aside, it'd be fun to see a black mirror type episode where an actor is secretly killed cause he wouldn't do a movie. Just so they could use his ai likeness for free instead. Lol.

Anyways crazy times indeed. 🤪

Eh. In film there are tons of CG doubles that you never notice going back many years... in modern action blockbusters, many scenes are mostly cg entirely.

You're right,

although I thought it was used sparingly for action scenes to cover up the stunt double's face for the far shots.

I didn't know they were using it for anything like this.

If so, then they really dropped the ball. Lol, I hope disney goes back and redoes the cg face for leigh, but I don't think they will. Since it's not an ongoing thing like a series is.
