This is stunning. The adult film industry will likely be the biggest benefactor of this advancement, they always seem to be.

I saw that yesterday and was floored. I'm sure the acting community is a bit scared by this.

Creepy. I immediately thought of Blade Runner.

Deckard: She's a replicant, isn't she?
Tyrell: I'm impressed. How many questions does it usually take to spot them?
Deckard: I don't get it, Tyrell.
Tyrell: How many questions?
Deckard: Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced.
Tyrell: It took more than a hundred for Rachael, didn't it?
Deckard: [realizing Rachael believes she's human] She doesn't know.
Tyrell: She's beginning to suspect, I think.
Deckard: Suspect? How can it not know what it is?

I'd like to live in this world you speak of Brian....a world where the
porn industry dominates all.

Actually Lucas has been pioneering this for years.

Yeah--the guys that made Shrek had to tone their "humanness" down
big time to avoid being "TOO REAL" for the genre---desired effect and THAT
was a decade ago.

Between synthetic voice and THESE visuals ---the movie industry will
rule----great new movies PLUS you have the option of doing things like
making new STAR WARS, INDY movies etc. without having to use any of the old cast AND they will look as young as they did when the original movies
were first made.

I was thinking the same thing. But then, this is only the face, right? They haven't gotten exact body movement down, but when they do, who needs to pay actors?

[toys2cool]

That's amazing!! maybe it could be used for Ledger as the Joker

and by the way i'd probably be one of the ones buying the porn

[kept back]

I look at this and think "finally a way to see Kate Winslet and Salma Hayek in some hardcore girl on girl action."

Which just makes me realize what a pitiful creature I truly am. Stupid technology.
