According to foreign media such as the LA Times and the BBC on the 21st (local time), the recently released 'Alien: Romulus' revived actor Ian Holm, who appeared in the 1979 'Alien' through AI. Ian Ian Holm, who was saved by AI, also features an artificial human character 'Luke' in the film.
Ian Holm, of British origin, is best known for his roles as the `Lord of the Rings' and the 'Hobbit" series 'Vilbo" In the 1979 film "Alien" directed by Ridley Scott, he played "Ash" as an artificial human being. However, he passed away in 2020 at the age of 88.
The film crew recreated Ian Holm's face and voice with AI technology to create a new character, Luke. It was Daniel Betts, a real-life actor who played Luke. It then captured his facial movements and voice acting and transformed them into similar to Ian Holm's appearance using Generative AI and computer modeling. Foreign media reported that Luke's appearance is causing resistance to some audiences and critics, and ethical issues are also raised.
The BBC pointed out that the attempt itself was not bad, but it was a mistake to overemphasize the artificial image by repeating close-ups as the character's appearance was larger than necessary. Online media outlet The Bite is also not the first film to use AI technology in Hollywood, nor is it the first to use digital effects to revive images of dead actors. However, because the two methods were tried together, they raised concerns about the role of AI in the creative industry.
Fans also took to X (formerly Twitter) to see the character "Luke" not necessarily be Ian Holm" "It's rude to the late actor""Is it a digital code?"
Director Fede Alvarez, who directed the film, said in an interview with the LA Times that his motivation for creating the Luke character was a genuine desire to honor Ian Holm's place in the history of the Alien series" he said. He `over the years, I looked at all the artificial characters in the series and wondered if I could re-emerge in the new film""Iain Holm was the only actor who has not appeared again who I thought was attractive.""
He then explained the plan in advance to the wife of Ian Holm, the bereaved family, and asked for an opinion.
