Some dude who does deepfakes hosed around with the de-aging and it's still not perfect but I think he did a better job overall

Henry Cavill's moustache and now this. The deepfake tech is better for facial modelling than building a digital model over the actor's face IMO.

Right, but this is the results form a single amateur with zero budget who trained and rendered it himself. Imagine if you actually had a Google consultant who was an expert in tensor AI poo poo helping the studio and 5 different guys working on this and could actually get high-res photogs of DeNiro or 8k scans of his 80s film frames. Good poo poo.

Imagine if you got someone with a functional nervous system and lubricated joints to play a 40 year old man.

Problem is that you lose DeNiro's performance. And yeah I'm not arguing that his performance as "a human who moves like a 40 year old" is convincing.

I met Jack Lalanne when he was in his 90s and he could. But he was also a pretty atypical dude.

Also, almost all of the on-screen death texts were from 1979-1981. Was there a huge crackdown on organized crime around then?

Looks like Angelo Bruno's death in '80 kicked off a gang war. Couldn't tell you about '79.

Wikipedia posted:

Several factions within the Philadelphia family began conspiring to betray the aging Bruno. On March 21, 1980, the 69-year-old Bruno was killed by a shotgun blast in the back of the head as he sat in his car in front of his home at the intersection of 10th Street and Snyder Avenue in South Philadelphia; his driver, John Stanfa, was wounded.[9] It is believed that the killing was ordered by Antonio Caponigro, Bruno's consigliere. A few weeks later, Caponigro's lifeless body was found, battered and nude, in the trunk of a car in The Bronx.[10][11] The Commission had reportedly ordered Caponigro's murder because he assassinated Bruno without their sanction. Other Philadelphia family members involved in Bruno's murder were tortured and killed.
