“just”?

you are interpreting the downvotes entirely incorrectly, just stop.

nice, that was by far the best Godzilla film I have seen.

the AI piece is kind of irrelevant. the only relevant parts as far as I understand are how much the “image” directly resembles her, and the laws in the specific state (I believe her state of residence, but could be wrong).

Not just Elvis, there are a lot of celebrity impersonators out there. I’m guessing they are legal or traditionally tolerated for some reason. Maybe the fact that it’s in-person vs in a film/tv show/ad/print makes it different.

People, your likeness can’t be used by others commercially without your consent, and this goes back way before AI or even computers.

For example:

actor Crispin Glover filed a lawsuit against Universal Studios for both the unauthorized use of his likeness and the use of footage of him from Back to the Future in Back to the Future Part II; his permission had not been sought for the latter and he received no payment. After a motion to dismiss was denied, the case was settled for an undisclosed amount. The Screen Actors Guild changed its rules to prohibit its members from unauthorized mimicking of other SAG members.[51][52]

how so? suing for unauthorized use of likeness is not unusual.

there’s no way this was not accounted for by his agent or whoever negotiated for him. You can’t even use a photograph of an actor in a movie without negotiating an “image and likeness” agreement.

For example, Crispin Glover sued and got a settlement because they used his likeness in BTtF2 and 3 by making George Mcfly’s new actor look like Glover with makeup and prosthetics. CGI and AI don’t change that at all.

surely the contracts he signed are for a limited number of appearances, not to use his likeness in perpetuity. this is nothing new in hollywood, contracts have been drawn up considering likenesses for a very long time, AI is not really anything new in that regard.

did he though? in perpetuity?

of course it’s jimmy pesto.

it’s also in the end credits somewhere, usually near the very end. they always list all songs used in the score.

wtf is this headline

I like just using the “reduce loud sounds” setting which indirectly makes dialogue louder compared to very loud scenes.

Also No Country for Old Men in its entirety.

because blowing sucks.

da ali g show. not entirely interviews of people in the public sphere, but a significant portion are.

Green Goblin played by Timothee Chalamet.

Spiderman begins.
