This is by no means an announcement for a project, but rather a discussion on AI voice deepfaking. I’ve seen and heard some really great audio Deepfake work done recently and it got me to thinking about the international cut scenes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
The performances are all there, but the voices are either aged too much, or in the case of Lee Van Cleef,replaced completely.
I’d like to try my hand at messing with this technology. I mean we have quite a lot of recordings of all three actors speaking from this era, so it should be feasible.
Has anyone else considered this?
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas
