If you've ever dreamed of sharing the screen with Hugh Jackman, now's your chance. Warner Bros. is promoting its upcoming movie, Reminiscence, using innovative deepfake technology that transforms a photo of your face into a brief video sequence alongside the star. The media startup D-ID developed this exciting promo, originally aiming to create technology that protects consumers from facial recognition. However, they discovered their technology could also enhance deepfake applications.
To experience this unique opportunity, simply visit the dedicated website, where you'll provide your name and upload a photo of anyone you choose. The technology will generate an animated video featuring that face. While the animation may exhibit some distortions, it’s impressive given that it originates from just a single image.
Reminiscence is a sci-fi thriller centered around Nick Bannister, a "private investigator of the mind." The promo invites you to see yourself as a client delving into memories to crack a case. The film hits theaters on August 20 and will also be available for streaming on HBO Max.
