Sylvester Stallone will play Neo in The Matrix, or Cinema 2.0
Replacing actors' faces using neural networks is already working well. If you're interested, type in the terminator with the face of Stallone query on YouTube. I hope the context makes it clear what you will see.
Face replacement technology is open. Simply put, everyone can get confused and change their face in any video or film. The effect of the replacement still falls into the " sinister valley ." However, in a year I will be wary of any video calls.
If in 2020 a friend calls you via video link, then you cannot be sure that this is a real person. Both appearance and voice can be fake. What, of course, will be used by all kinds of scammers. But most of all, this technology will change the cinema.
We leave out that the neural networks will make the production of special effects cheaper. These are trifles. Not so interesting is the fact that the actors will no longer die. For the viewer. Schwarzenegger will act in films years after his death. The deceased will be resurrected.
The transformation of the acting profession is much more interesting. What does the actorβs work look like now? An endless shooting schedule where you need to jump from one set to another. In the future, everything will change.
Once a year, another Robert Downey the Younger will record a dataset for a neural network. In a special studio on the checklist: emotions, micromimicry, voice, characteristic body movements.
The rest of the year, the actor can rest, selling the rights to the person. Or training your acting skills in order to record a new database in a year. Moreover, Hollywood studios will begin to choose which particular actor database is relevant to them. Want from childhood, take from adulthood. Want to be depressed, want to be positive.
Now let's move on to the audience experience. And this is generally kapets. Now we are used to the fact that specific actors are cast in the film. It will soon be wrong.
Suppose a new Matrix comes out. And suppose, for some inadequate reason, you don't like Keanu Reeves. You want Sylvester Stallone in the title role. Cinema of the near future will give you the opportunity to get what you want with two clicks.
Instead of the main character in the film will be removed "blank". A man in a green suit with special tags. And in every TV there will be technology that will allow the disc to be replaced by an actor.
If you want Iron Man to be Mikhail Efremov, please. Do you want the Joker to always be Heath Ledger - voila. Two clicks and drove. The face, body structure, and voice will be replaced. In short, everything will look exactly as if the actor was filming initially.
And then what? And then the viewer himself will be in the lead role. He took the application, scowled at the camera, you look up, and there ... And there you save the earth from the invasion of aliens. Steep, muscular, with luxurious hair. Or a huge bust. Who likes what.
It can be accurately assumed that the first full-length films with you in the title role can be seen next year. In China, an application that replaces the actorβs face with yours is gaining popularity right now. Using one photo. It remains to wait until the TVs pick up the technology.
And that is wonderful. This will change the cinema more than all the helmets of virtual reality combined.

The last time I wrote on Habr six years ago. Mostly about video design. Since then he managed to close the studio, open a new company in the field of children's education, get carried away with brain research and speak at TEDx with his own achievements in this field.
Now I write about the brain and thinking on Facebook, sometimes I make accurate assumptions regarding the development of society. If you are interested in these topics, try looking at other materials.
