How Deepfake Technology Can Change The Movie Industry

Deepfake technology is on the rise in Hollywood, and here's how it will change the movie industry as time goes on. There has been an increased desire in Hollywood recently to use various forms of de-aging technology to bring back performers who are no longer alive or achieve realistic depictions of their younger selves. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, for example, digitally recreated Peter Cushing in a controversial decision to bring Grand Moff Tarkin back to the franchise. Meanwhile, de-aging technology has become incredibly common as everything from the MCU to The Irishman has used it to recreate younger versions of their stars. Hollywood is now in the early stages of figuring out how to apply deepfake technology in various ways to achieve similar results.
