I like a current chocolate ad on British TV which features Audrey Hepburn - kinda. I had a debate with my sister the other day on whether the makers of the ad had used a look-a-like model (my belief) whereas my sister thought the footage was from a genuine old film featuring Hepburn. We were both wrong. It seems the makers used face-recognition software and then made the ad using nothing but CGI. The effect is stunning. This led me to ruminate that the day could soon come when a feature film could be downloaded in which the viewer could choose which stars they would prefer in the lead role : Cary Grant/Grace Kelly; Bogart/Bacall; Connery/Ursula Andress; . . . And not far off maybe the day will arrive in which you can decide to have yourself and partner as the stars! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx9eDoS76LM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx9eDoS76LM Cool idea but a rotten cheat. I don't want to watch a cloned version of anyone being passed off as the real thing. If I was her family I would have a major problem with this. How are the producers of that commercial allowed to counterfeit a real person like this?
