Nicolas Cage Is “Terrified” of AI and Got Digitally Scanned for ‘Spider-Man Noir’: “I Don’t Want You to Do Anything With My Face and Body When I’m Dead”
Nicolas Cage Is “Terrified” of AI and Got Digitally Scanned for ‘Spider-Man Noir’: “I Don’t Want You to Do Anything With My Face and Body When I’m Dead”
>“I saw Bryan Cranston in ‘Breaking Bad’ stare at a suitcase for half the episode. Just him on the floor looking at a suitcase thinking, ‘What’s in it? Do I do this? Don’t I do it?’ I thought, ‘We don’t have time to do that in movies.’ So that to me seemed like an opportunity to open it up a little. I don’t know if the project that I’m exploring has room for that. I think this is a much more sort of popcorn-entertainment episodic.”
>“I don’t like violence. I don’t want to play people who are hurting people. One of the things that I like about this potential show is that it’s fantasy. It’s not really people beating people up. Monsters are involved.”
>Cage also revealed that he had to end his interview with The New Yorker on the earlier side because “I have to slip out after this to go get a scan done for the show, and then also for the movie I’m doing after the show. Two scans in one day!”
>“They have to put me in a computer and match my eye color and change—I don’t know. They’re just going to steal my body and do whatever they want with it via digital AI…God, I hope not AI. I’m terrified of that. I’ve been very vocal about it…And it makes me wonder, you know, where will the truth of the artists end up? Is it going to be replaced? Is it going to be transmogrified? Where’s the heartbeat going to be? I mean, what are you going to do with my body and my face when I’m dead? I don’t want you to do anything with it!”
He also said Spider-Man Noir is 8 episodes and is “more of a Pop-art mashup, like a Lichtenstein painting with some sparkle to it.”

Lol, I’ve seen Breaking Bad a few times and have no idea what episode he’s talking about here.

I remember one of the first deep faked people was nicolas cage. A russian gathered every single nicolas cage movie or clip he could find to use as training data.

I don’t think AI images and videos of actors and actresses should be produced without consent.

I know AI is the main topic here but damn a live action Spider-Man Noir show with Nicolas Cage sounds like it was made specifically for me.
