I'm going to guess that Netflix is going to funnel trucks of money into the de-aging.

Look out Itchy! he's Irish!
The de-aging could be good or really suck.
Scorcese had a cgi rat in one of his films that looked so fake, and the lion in the Last Temptation of Christ was very unconvincing-I didnt believe the lion really had a Brooklyn accent. Looked Kenyan to me.
Not only do they have to de-age them, and change their body shapes, but older people move differently than younger ones. This is one reason Jeff Bridges had a body double for Tron 2.
If they just de-age their faces, and they still are moving around as normal, it could look like they are pasted heads or unusually stiff in the body.
Someone else is going to have to be Joe Pesci's body when he is stabbing and kicking someone.

Having someone's head on another person's problem is not as restricting as having the same actor with an altered head if the actor is not moving as you would expect a younger person to move. Even if it is not a pasted head, it may feel like it just because they are restricted by age. The digital makeup in X-men 3 was ok for the time (they needed to alter the eyes though) but they still moved like older men (in that case I think they were told not to move around too much-even their head turns were deliberately slowed down). These days they dont have to be so fussy--they can have them jump around and still get a perfect head anchor point. |
