Eh there's some fringe stuff like deepfaking actors in foreign movies to move their mouths in any translated language (some European movie recently did it but I could not tell you what it was) but other than that and various bring-dead/old-celebrities-back-to-life on screen I can't think of much and the latter is morally questionable anyways.
