I don't have anything against Bruce Willis as an actor, but ... do we really need to keep him "alive" as an actor? I can understand "faking" Princess Leia because of the Star Wars canon, but why keep Willis (or Tupac, for that matter) around? Plenty of other good actors and musicians out there.
- _tom_ 4y agoI suspect that basing synthesized actors based on real actors is a transitional thing. Studios would rather create actors. So they own the actor outright, and not pay royalties.
- hotpotamus 4y agoHow wonderfully dystopian. It reminds me of the show Community where for governance reasons, Subway created a "corpohummanoid" to enroll in the school, however they ran into problems because the actor was a real human who wasn't able to pull off being the manifestation of a corporation all his waking hours.

Movie studios won't need to be in a big city any more either. Developers can work from home if their internet is fast enough.
- Cheyana 4y agoYeah but Die Hard 6, 7, 314, and so on won't be the same without him.
- rufus_foreman 4y ago>> do we really need to keep him "alive" as an actor No, movies are not essential to our survival.
- wrp 4y ago> ...do we really need to keep him "alive" as an actor? Does any movie really need $BigStar when $NewTalent could act just as well?
