This and James Earl Jones letting people virtualize his voice for Vader is an interesting direction. I'd be curious what the kickbacks are. Once you no longer get the megadollars for work, just lease out your likeness/voice to companies to utilize. Probably with a clause that the actor/voice credits are "in the style of James Earl Jones" or "in the likeness of Bruce Willis" to differentiate from when the actor was actually doing it.

assuming either actually gave permission or their families did on their behalf for one final cash grab now that they cant do it anymore.

Can you even "own" a voice? Pretty sure anyone can do an imitation as long as they're not falsely claiming who's actually doing the voice.

I heard Tom Cruise is already doing some light filtering in his movies. Mostly texturing and smoothing for anti-aging. Very subtle.
Wouldn't surprise me if he transitions to full deepfake assistance to extend his career.

the day he stops doing his deathwish stuff and stops acting is when he retires. adjusting his looks a bit isnt near the same thing. i'm sure young actresses already have this done to make them look better in films. in Star Trek they had some ugly broads in that show, but they would soften the focus of the lens slightly so they looked more beautiful.

Ive watched a few of these straight to video movies hes had come out the last year or two. And they are so awful. Clearly a cash grab as he exits the business and has like 3 lines and then just nods a lot.
