This image released by Disney-Marvel shows Samuel L. Jackson as a younger Nick Fury in a scene from "Captain Marvel. New digital de-aging techniques have shaved decades from Jackson's face.
To many, “The Irishman” stands out from the field, thanks to its complete avoidance of “tracking markers” — dots painted onto actors faces which allow computers to mathematically replicate facial movements and manipulate them as the director sees fit. While the team at Industrial Light and Magic was working on “The Irishman,” another group of technical wizards were experimenting with de-aging at director Peter Jackson’s Weta Workshop in New Zealand, creating an entirely digital, 23-year-old version of Smith for the action movie “Gemini Man.”
“We decided a ground up approach to build everything from scratch — from the skull all the way to the skin pores, all the way to the animation and the final kind of oil in the eyes was really the best approach we could take,” says Stu Adcock, head of facial motion at Weta. Helman and his team then spent two years looking through old movies and cataloging the targeted ages that De Niro, Pacino and Pesci would appear in “The Irishman.” They created a program — similar to that used to create online “deepfake” videos where one actor’s face is swapped for another’s — which would check their work on the movie was heading in the right direction, with the system “spewing out” hundreds of images for cross-referencing.
Give the young a chance.
Meh, call me when we get to the point we can have Elvis in another 30+ movies playing the same character.
Ha—- the audience
And soon to send acting as a profession to the annals of history. Once automation and AI start replacing the jobs of the wealthy and elite then we might see the working class finally benefit from the fruits of technology, not just the rich
Absolute garbage seeing how I'm tired of seeing the same actors hog up all the roles. There excessive and then there Samuel Jackson. Smh
Some have been better than others but it has been wild.
