    I think I’d prefer if they didn’t, tbh. I really enjoy seeing the actors transform into the character they’re portraying without looking exactly like them. I understand the appeal of immersion, but it would kind of rob the film of having its own character.

      I recognized at least 20 actors in Oppenheimer, but that didn’t impact my immersion at all because they did such a phenomenal job. I don’t think deepfaking the real Oppenheimer’s face onto Cillian Murphy would’ve made a difference.

    Everyday Joes and Jaynes are less attractive than a movie start whose job is to always look good and act accordingly.

    However, I can definitely see the future of movies like how you described.

      Why not? You’ve got an AI generated image allready, why not touch it up a little, like you would with a photoshopped super model, to make the person look a little more appealing.

    Beauty not being nigh mandatory for lead roles could be interesting. Deep fakes could mean that it doesn’t matter how the actor looks at all.
