Warner Bros. 'Reminiscence' promo uses deepfake tech to put you in the trailer

If you want to see yourself on screen with Hugh Jackman, this is your chance. The promo for Warner Bros. upcoming Reminiscence movie uses deepfake technology to turn a photo of your face -- or anybody's face, really -- into a short video sequence with the star. According to Protocol, a media startup called D-ID created the promo for the film. D-ID reportedly started out wanting to develop technology that can protect consumers against facial recognition, but then it realized that its tech could also be used to optimize deepfakes. For this particular project, the firm created a website for the experience, where you'll be asked for your name and for a photo.
