Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
Please beat the corporate ghouls just this once 
"In a 6-3 ruling the Supreme Court has determined that all mortals are subject to eternal defamation and exploitation after death if it might feed a hog or make money." 
i wish them all success in the world
Guy gets a call from his agent. "How would you like to be in the Star Wars franchise?" Guy is excited but then he soon learns it won't get him the exposure he'd hoped for in any way, shape, or form.
Special effects were used to recreate his appearance with the British actor, Guy Henry, 63, performing as his body double.
Its like actor they used for the mando shows, he looks exactly like a young mark hamill, but noo we have to use weird looking cgi to stick Hamill's face on him
Michael Eisner isn't dead but he sure looks like it
The Law Comes to Tarkintown
Can't wait until the AI data scrapers find and use old social media pictures of me to generate my likeness as a six-fingered extra feverishly clapping after the superheroes defeat Dr Beetlewing and his legion of RoboRoaches
Pretty much anyone that's walked into an Apple store is already a potential extra in a future show or movie. 
Can't wait to see the future corporate wars over who owns the rights to Keanu Reeves likeness.
And then there will be the "Fight for Keanu" comedy which they hope will become a (licensed?) franchise.
Guy Henry was already perfect for the role, all of this was pointless, but Disney NEEDED to test the ethnically dubious waters so they could go hogwild with this stuff now. And I say disney specifically because all of their film studios are using this tech now. RO was the test case.
You know what George did for EPIII? He put a guy in makeup to look like Cushing and had him out of focus. Lucas had a better case for using Cushing's likeness on account of actually knowing him and iirc Cushing saying that he wished he had pushed for Tarkin to live cause he wanted to come back to star wars as soon as a sequel was announced. Yet Lucas has come out against digital actors, much as he loves new technology more than story or writing, he knows there are godamn lines
"A computer can duplicate Tom Hanks, for example, and we already use that technology a little for stunts and difficult scenes.
"But if you bring back Marilyn Monroe, what you would have is a caricature.
Lucas is himself a pioneer of digital special effects
"You could do it but you can't get a perfect actor.
"Acting is a human endeavour and the amount of talent and craft that goes into it is massive - and can a composite reproduce that?"
He added: "The voice would have to be dubbed and what was produced on screen would ultimately be the work of an animator."
The director was one of the first to make extensive use of digital technology when he used computer-generated special effects in the original Star Wars film in 1977.
But he said that recreating Hollywood greats would be a step too far.
"I can't see any reason to recreate John Wayne or Monroe.
"People don't want to see an imitation of someone who was a strong presence in real life," said Lucas.
"People don't want to see an imitation of someone who was a strong presence in real life," said Lucas.
I wish that were more true, but too many treat hogs want more vaguely-flavored reference slop no matter how diluted, dishonest to the source's wishes and intent, and demeaning.
Emilia Clarke's likeness, for the rest of her life and beyond, is probably going to be used against her will (like she was during the Gambo show) in numerous "AI" treats like she already has been, for "funny" reasons or... otherwise.
Isnt it funny how we might be really reaching the end of history not politically, but culturally? Once AI is sufficiently advanced that any lizard-brained failson movie exec or record exec or advertising exec can just type their half-formed idiot ideas into a giant plagiarism machine that will scrape content from real human artists and incestuous data from other AI projects, culture will just form an ouroboros folding in on itself forever.
