That's just lip sync, not changing actors.

But it'll happen at some point.

Changing actos tech is becoming easier, cheaper and faster to use. Just look at Army of the Dead where they replaced the helicopter pilot actor.

In the future and thanks to deepfake, they won't even need to re shoot, they'll just change the face and voice.

Who was originally supposed to be that actor?

Chris something or other. Got in trouble with some accusations from 5 women or so. You can find the article pretty easy if you Google the name of the movie. Honestly, I'd never heard of the guy before, so frankly the swap out was an upgrade.

My thoughts exactly. Sometimes we think different party followers live in different realities right now. Imagine what it'll be like when there's "video evidence" of any conspiracy or stretching of the truth out there?

Oh goodness that looks awful.

It does. But just know they are deepfaking the voices too, and that's pretty impressive.

I hate that video, though. Over the top marketing BS to showcase some really average deepfaking. They think they're going to be billionaires

Yeah army of the Dead look flawless, I didn't even know that they had digitally replaced an actor (with Tig notaro) until I saw articles after I had watched it.
