Only generative AI could make a guy look that convincingly retro. Not just the face, but the hair, clothes... everything. Just like he was plucked right out of a 1950s movie (which, in a statistically psittacine sense, he was). The mainstream entertainment industry is doomed, as these "basement studio" productions get more sophisticated and meticulously instruct or force these creative models to maintain consistency throughout a sequence. No longer at the mercy of the Suits demanding that this and that be changed because they're afraid of a loss at the box office.

I'm eager to see movies with the alternate casting, like Kurt Russel as Han Solo, Jack Nicholson as Jack Burton, or Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones.
