Disney’s Live-Action Moana Remake Almost Used an AI Deepfake Dwayne Johnson

According to the report, Reed was set to stand-in for a limited number of scenes on specific days when Johnson wasn’t there. To make it seem like Johnson was present in those scenes, Disney planned to collaborate with AI company Metaphysic to generate deepfakes of Johnson’s face. These digital replicas would be superimposed over Reed’s performance in the footage, essentially allowing Johnson to appear in two locations simultaneously.
