I could see my face. It was still me. And if I talked, it was moving. But I was also very recognizably Tom Hanks. You never know what you're going to get. The reason I was Tom Hanks is because the film project that Metaphysic was then working on was a movie called Here that starred Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. Hey, Dad. I'd like you to meet Margaret. Nice to meet you, Margaret.
It was directed by Robert Zemeckis. The team from Forrest Gump reunited again using AI technology to a degree that it had not been deployed in a Hollywood movie before. In fact, it was central to the making of it.

In this case, they were using it to enable Tom Hanks to play the same character from the age of 18 to the age of 80. And the way they were able to do that was using metaphysics AI technology. And one of the reasons why I wanted to focus on this movie here which is not a particularly good movie. I wouldn't necessarily recommend you Netflix and chill with it. Get the fuck out of my house.

But I was interested in this movie because this movie is probably the first mainstream Hollywood movie that would not have existed without AI technology. And the reason why is because it's effectively a small domestic company emotional, serious drama. The only reason why this movie could happen is because the visual effects that it required were cheap enough with AI. It's as good as CGI now,

And it's a lot cheaper and it's a lot faster and it gives directors a lot more creative control on the set.

He was surprisingly unconcerned. Wow. He was just sort of like, well, let's just get the paperwork sorted out. Amazing. And I was a little surprised, to be honest, about how cavalier he was.
