Sky News reports:
AI-generated Val Kilmer to star in new movie a year after actor's death
As FNN has discussed before it's only a matter of time before many big names from the past of film will be resurrected - thanks to AI.
FNN looks forward to the next AI-generated starring roles for Barbara Stanwyck or Marlon Brando.
Actors in the UK are trying to prevent themselves from being digitally scanned as an integral part of standard movie making - but why?
Digital scanning is great - assuming that anyone who wants to use the scan has to pay a license fee and that license fee will rise and fall with the fortunes of the actor.
Then even after someone is gone, their estate can benefit from any post-decease use of their scan depending how extensive the role is in the movie.
It all seems quite obvious really.
