So apparently studios now own actors' likenesses forever and can do whatever they want with them.

    That wasn't Teddy Sears' Jay Garrick in that scene, since it was a Jay Garrick specifically from a black and white multiverse which this one wouldn't be from since he was in The Flash tv show. He was also revealed to not even be the real Jay Garrick in the show.

    You're moronic.

      It's him, it's just that no one in the movie's crew had actually seen the shitty tv show so they probably just googled Jay Garrick, saw pictures of this guy dresses as golden age Flash so they used him.

    Studios reuse footage all the time. Go watch the CW Crisis, and this is exactly how they did the Doom Patrol, Teen Titans cameos. Do you think the actors own the footage they already shot, or the studio?

    AI generated footage already has a precedent with the fake mask from Back to the Future 2. The studios own the footage they shoot but the actors own their likenesses. Using AI to generate new footage by using footage already made by the studios is the new grey area.

        Guys in their 70s knock up women all the time and the kid comes out fine. Its not the age of the guy, its the age of the woman, and her eggs, that matters. And older guys have plenty of money to get a younger woman to knock up.

        Male sperm quality degrades with age and there is a proven link between the age of the father and autism.
        This has been common knowledge for literally centuries, which is why Plato recommended that only men under thirty should procreate in his ideal Republic.

      Problem in that case was that they used a casting of Glover's face made for the first movie and then used it to make the replacement actor look like Glover. If they did a simple replacement like they did with using Elizabeth Shue in place of Claudia Wells, things would have been fine.

    People already forgot about Stan Lee selling NFT's from beyond the grave? The real fun starts when a celebrity dies and can't complain and you could argue their family doesn't own their likeness. Add in film studios saying the AI was made using footage shot by the film studios for more fun.

    This is all assuming AI doesn't outright replace actors when they can generate any face or voice and have them do whatever they want. But at that point you will probably kill Hollywood with AI doing all that and writing the scripts and music.
