This fall's 'Gemini Man' and 'The Irishman' are just the tip of the iceberg for how studios will look to capitalize on de-aging VFX techniques: "It's safer and cheaper than plastic surgery.", in which the star fights with a younger clone of himself. The 50-year-old actor noted that, with advances in visual effects, he could sit back and let a digital double do all the work.
This fall, two prestige tentpoles will test the waters for this new paradigm. In Paramount's Ang Lee-helmed, "Junior" Smith involved creating a fully digital character that looks and acts like Smith did around 1996 when he starred in. The character was created by VFX house Weta Digital to use in some of the most complex scenes where "Junior" has to act alongside Smith.
A believable, fully digital human is still considered among the most difficult tasks in visual effects. "Digital humans are still very hard, but it's not unachievable. You only see that level of success at the top-level companies," explains Chris Nichols, a director at Chaos Group Labs and key member of the Digital Human League, a research and development group. He adds that this approach can be "extraordinarily expensive.
