Willis has become the first actor to sell the rights to his digital likeness for future use in film. (They also have his voice).

As an aside I saw this during the week, the deep fake stuff is basically perfect now, I guess the question is would you knowingly want to watch it? its ok I guess for some side characters but Im not sure I'd want to Willis or anyone as a 25 year old beat cop hero of a film, it would be too uncanny valley
Surrogates 2, surrogate harder....
Strong shades of opening scenes from The Congress to this. Hopefully its other premise doesn't come to pass, otherwise we'll be spending our future in a drug-induced animated metaverse :o
Maybe I'm tired but I don't think the article actually referenced a Die Hard prequel specifically?
Makes sense someone like Willis would do this; his health problems retroactively explaining his work on all that dross, stands to reason he'd take some shekels for his likeness.
The actual technology is good, in places but the problem are the 1% of moments the illusion drops out. Would audiences wanna watch a nameless actor run around with a CGI version of Willis' face? I doubt it TBH.
Doesn't seem to be the case after all
Apparently bullshít;
Just waiting for the video where he confirms it's true after all...
Which will be deep-faked...
Feel sorry for this good guy. This is the case when money and fame do not save.
He's actually went to be an absolute prick to work with....
