Pratt, Charlie Day and Jack Black on new animated film, playing iconic characters, being fans of the game and more. Chris Pratt had harsh words for Hollywood stars who bring negativity to movie sets. On Thursday, the 45-year-old actor joined co-star Millie Bobby Brown and directors Joe and Anthony Russo on the New York Comic Con panel for their upcoming Netflix sci-fi film "The Electric State." During the panel, Pratt slammed actors who had "bad" attitudes while filming. "Look, these guys can attest to this, because they're the same way. Like, there's no room for s---ty attitudes there," the Marvel star said, via People magazine.

For years, the only way to create a blockbuster film featuring a Hollywood star and dazzling special effects was at a major studio. The Hollywood giants were the ones that could afford to pay celebrities millions of dollars and license sophisticated software to produce elaborate, special effects-laden films. That's all about to change, and the public is getting a preview thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) tools like OpenAI's DALL-E and Midjourney. Both tools use images scraped from the internet and select datasets like LAION to train their AI models to reconstruct similar yet wholly original imagery using text prompts. The AI images, which vary from photographic realism to mimicking the styles of famous artists, can be generated in as little as 20 to 30 seconds, often producing results that would take a human hours to produce.

According to the BBC and the Hollywood Reporter, a representative for Bruce Willis said, "Please know that Bruce has no partnership or agreement with this Deepcake company." The original Telegraph report we cited appears to be in error, and it's unclear whether Deepcake ever had the permission to use Willis' likeness beyond a 2021 Russian cell phone commercial. We have published a new piece with more details. Bruce Willis has sold the "digital twin" rights to his likeness for commercial video production use, according to a report by The Telegraph. This move allows the Hollywood actor to digitally appear in future commercials and possibly even films, and he has already appeared in a Russian commercial using the technology.

A graphic designer has created a life-like replica of actress Scarlett Johansson - which winks and giggles when he tells her she's cute. Like many children with imaginations fired by animated films, Ricky Ma grew up watching cartoons featuring the adventures of robots, and dreamed of building his own one day. Unlike most of the others, however, he has realised his childhood dream at the age of 42, by successfully constructing a life-sized robot from scratch on the balcony of his home. The life-size robot was created by Hong Kong designer Ricky Ma, based on a famous Hollywood actress. Named Mark 1, Ma has programmed her to wink and say'thank you' when he tells her she is beautiful The fruit of his labours of a year-and-a-half, and a budget of more than $50,000, is a female robot prototype he calls the Mark 1.

A 42-year-old man in Hong Kong spent 50,000 to realize a childhood dream: making a robot modeled on a Hollywood star, Reuters reports. Jezebel concurs, writing, "It does look just enough like Johansson for her to maybe want to consider taking out a restraining order." Still--after a year and a half of work, including teaching himself programming and electromechanics--Ma isn't letting anyone bring him down. "If I realize my dream, I will have no regrets in life," he tells Reuters, which has photos and video of his creation. Ma built the Mark 1 on the balcony of his apartment. It was a largely lonely experience.

I figured I should just do it when the timing is right and realize my dream. If I realize my dream, I will have no regrets in life,
