Gotta love how they can de-age and just flat out out a younger Fords face on another actor to pull off these sorta flashbacks and so on.   It's scary how good this tech is getting.  At some point big names can just license out their looks to be used in movies where it's someone elses body doing the crazy stunts or playing a younger version of them.

I believe we are already at that point. Paying for a likeness has been commonplace for years, like many decades. This will be an extension of that.

Yeah the practice itself isn't exactly new, but I mean more about the tech they use being at a level now where it'll look so real you won't notice it's a CGI head on another body.  Or they can easily de-age someone even more than before and have it look real.

We already know the licensing is happening in the voice-over world... prime exhibit: James Earl Jones as Darth Vader.

We're not far off from the entire industry being nothing but A.I. generated content. There's a story out right now where people got "scammed" because they paid for nudes of a chick who ended up being an A.I. generated image of a girl who they though was real. We're going to have models who exist only to show up at events and sign autographs, etc. to keep the illusion of "actors" alive, and of course drum up revenue with their presence. When in fact their "role" in the movie was just their good looks; the computers will generate their voice and body, and allow Hollywood to take literally anyone and have them do literally anything they like. And two seconds later, Porn will have a You-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Butter movie where Scarlett Johansson has sex with Beyonce and 1000's of dudes go broke overnight.

I mean... if that's how people want to spend their money.... so be it!
