Deep Fake technology used to put Tom Selleck into the role of Indiana Jones. For the most part, these are nearly seamless… except for the Fordesque voice. It will soon be possible to swap out Indies in entire movies. Differences in height and physique will probably take longer to work out.
Is it a good idea? Dunno. Does it fit with the original artistic vision? Probably not. But in a world where the IP holders have turned Star Trek into STD and Star Wars into Last Jedi, such things as “artistic vision” no longer seem of relevance.
Bring on “Casablanca” starry Ron Reagan!
