A lot of comments talking about deep fake voice. It is a thing, but it's still a way off from sounding really good. Also it takes way too many manual hours of transcribing and processing text/audio, for a 2 minute video, it's just unfeasable. It's something I keep a close eye on and when I believe it's good enough, I will definitely start to use it.
I've heard clips of computer generated voices of famous dead people, and it's very impressive, but as you say, the means to create it are probably very cumbersome.
It would be amazing to see Chris prat as Indiana Jones....🤘🏻👍🏻🤞🏻 Make it happen..... Please..... ( You know what, never mind... Just subscribed to the channel and it was 1st thing that got recommend)
Wb did superman super last second. Instead of you know delaying the movie by lets say 3 months and doing reshoots correctly ir cgi correctly. Wb panicked and it cost them.
Solo grows more and more each time I watch it. That movie really got the shaft because of the Last Jedi backlash from those without the emotional maturity to separate the two films.
Imagine the possibilities! but i agree. for me its pretty double sided. at one side: I Think about all the possibilities You could bring back all deceased actors to films! but thats also the thing im scared of. what if those actors didnt want to be in such a movie. Media can put actors in movies without them even knowing... Yeah idk what to think about it.
I check out these videos once every few months and every time it looks twice as real. It is pretty spooky, but tech moves quick these days, plus COVID got people with nothing better to do lol
That doesn’t even scratch the surface of Deepfakes. In the future you could release fake videos to ruin a person’s public image. And the contrary is true as well. Most evidence recorded on camera might be useless because you can’t make sure that it isn’t a deep fake.
Physically, however, Alden is just too short at 5'9". And that actually bothered me quite a lot throughout the entire movie. Ford is 6'1 and you saw it a lot when he'd get in Chewie's face to calm and refocus him when needed. Alden could not match that connection in physicality. Or maybe they need a shorter Chewie. LOL
Same here... Then again, Donald Glover portrayal of Lando was so well done, that it was fine to not actually be Williams... but still, looks quite good.
A ten minute video alone takes weeks upon weeks of AI learning to properly align the new face. Add in the fact that you have to manually smoothe everything, edit coloring depending on which scene, and so on... It's possible yes, but you would need an extremely powerful mushroom-cloud-laying motherfucker of a PC. Mainly the graphics card. The new RTX 3xxx series looks good tho... One would only do it for money tho.
I think they’re already doing it with Luke’s voice. There’s a clear difference between young Mark Hamill’s voice and his current voice, and in Mandalorian he sounds like young Mark Hamill.
Adobe already have a voice program that imitates very well. Only needs to hear about 10 words and it has enough sounds to make the voice very convincing
What? Huh?... Oh my. ... Oh, well, in my defence, Donald Glover resembles young Billy Dee Williams more than mr. Shovelface resembles young Harrison Ford.
So you've been hired by Lucasfilm, you've mastered Harrison Ford's deepfake, and there is a new Indiana Jones movie in production. I just humbly ask, please impress us :)
Dude right?? Almost every deepfake video has moments where it clearly stands out. Either the perspective is off, coloring is off, blending, scaling, etc. This is flawless. I *might* be able to notice some imperfections if I had an 8k TV and a magnifying glass, but on my phone this is as good as I could ever expect.
Now we just need a Harrison Ford voice impressionist (I heard that there’s some guy named Mark H. who does it pretty well) and boom: we’ve resurrected Han Solo.
@@syari9164 i dont think so due the respect of a dead actor (also whos doing the role of the character), they did their legacy when they where alived, is not that simple, thats the reason we dont get this kind of work done on a movie
@@skateredhmg09 what makes you think they care about respecting the dead? they made a CGI of Peter Crushing as General Tarkin for Rogue One back in 2016. Peter Crushing died in 1994. He was dead for 22 years and they still did it anyway. It's all about making money through fan-service.
@@syari9164 yea ik as a one time like Leia or even Paul Walker but thats it, we would have lots of movies with dead people. If it were that simple and easy giving a damn.
@@syari9164 Uhm...they already do? They had Peter Cushing, like you mentioned and Carrie Fisher (posthumously) in the new Star Wars trilogy. And they have been doing holographic concerts of dead musicians for a while.
@@vrumbledump3240 Yeah? Watch a video on how it's done. Once you have the initial setup complete it literally does it on it's own. He could do the rest of the film too much easier since he's already done the initial setup.
They did it with the scene with Leia at the end of Rogue One. And compared the original with the deep fake. The deep fake looked way better and more natural.
@DamageIncM Human faces are much harder to replicate than fictional squid-monsters. The human brain has a built-in process for analyzing human faces, and anything that trips it up even slightly triggers a repulsion response you would know as the Uncanny Valley.
@DamageIncM That's the thing, just because you feel they can do better doesn't mean they can, if you look at videogame characters, that's basically the same concept, why aren't all video game characters realistic (in grounded stories like the last of us) the tech just doesn't exist yet to replicate a human face with such detail that you catch all of those tiny micro adjustments that occur with facial movement, at the moment something like the Leia or Tarkin animations, that are imposed and matched to a human performance by the way, take hundreds even thousands of hours to design, animate and render and that's with what you call bad cgi, now imagine a photo real human, with every single tiny movement in the human face when talking and compare that to the former example, take that 100+ hours and multiply it by the amount of detail you want, 100% more detailed? 100% increase on time if you get what i'm saying, at the moment cgi to that degree is unsustainable, that's why people are such big fans of deep faking, its just preexisting footage that is scanned and matched to the performance underneath, and it still takes maybe 100+ hours to make a near seamless deepfake.
"I hate you", "I know" gets me every time lol. There were a lot of fan service-y lines in this movie that didn't need to be there, but that one.. That one deserved to be there.
No disrespect to Alden but I would love to see this for the whole movie in high def. Infact it's kinda a compliment to him since he fully captured the essence of a young solo without it being an impression of young Harrison Ford
Shamook just uploaded his and I must say it is a MASSIVE improvement from the Disney CGI. Unfortunately because it was done with CGI first, he can't change the weird lip movements. He's hoping for a behind the scenes part with the stand in
@@Kaldobsky def. The movie isn't terrible but just wasn't needed and/or need more time to work on it. You Kno Disney they just rush everything with star wars
I actually think this highlights how good the actor actually was, like voice was he's sadly way off but he pulls off the facial expressions of Ford incredibly well that the deep fake is even more convincing.
Came here after reading story (Microsoft News>The Verge) that Lucasfilm hired you as "Senior Facial Capture Artist" and this was link in story. Congrats and great work!
Dude, you're like my wife. "Honey, thank you for the amazing work you did today. You frustrate the hell out of me, but still..." If you're going positive, just go positive 100%: "That was quite an amazing Deepfake."
John Doe but of course, that’s a given. Harrison Ford CREATED Han Solo with his likeness and mannerisms. Yea it was written by G.L. but only Harrison could “read” those lines. Had Harrison been a younger actor playing this Han Solo interpreted originally by Kurt Russell (you must know the story), then “we all would have to agree the fact, that Kurt Russell did a better Han Solo”.
@@coachbronco The Star Wars universe has a tough time allowing good writing. And this film made no difference, drowning in unnecessary lore towards the end.
@@coachbronco Star Wars fans have no problem accepting a good film. Rogue One is overall accepted by the SW community. Solo is...well, boring. But it doesn't hurt the lore so much, although I'd argue the EU books about Han's backstory are far better than this.
To be honest the guy playing young solo didnt make a bad job, he doesnt look like Harrison but his mannerisms is quite good and with the deep fake is spot on to the character, I really enjoyed this movie and rogue one aswell.
When I saw the first trailer, I knew it would bomb because the actor looked nothing like the character. He’s a good actor, but the casting sucked. Han Solo is too iconic of a character.
@@MoneyManHolmes That, and the story sucked. They would have made Han a better character if they had used the Young Han Solo Chronicles by A.C. Crispin. Where Han was raised aboard a con man's ship by a female Wookie that was the only honorable being he knew. Where he was pushed to be better than those around him by her and where he tried to escape numerous times only to be dragged back until the con man killed the Wookie and Han had had enough and resorted to desperate measures to escape with his life. Where Han was not a deserter from the Imperial Navy, but one of their up and coming top talents that threw it all away to rescue a captured Wookie from being executed. A Han that became a smuggler because the Empire blacklisted him from ever having a legitimate piloting job of any kind. He couldn't fly a ferry, he couldn't fly as a trainer, he couldn't even fly a garbage scow. A Han that hit rock bottom and pulled himself up to be at the top of the smuggling food chain, with good friends that he could trust that lost all that because of the Rebel Alliance. A Han that was deeply hurt by the woman he loved the most and was at the end of his rope when he heard that Chewie had found them a charter for an old man, a kid and two droids.
no.. they shouldn't. Alden Ehrenreich did a great job to act like Han Solo, yeah maybe he dosnt look like the young Harrison Ford, but his acting was ON POINT.
If LucasArts will use this technology, they can made a new film about timeline like a 5 years after episode 6...with young Luke Skywalker, Solo, Leia, Lando...If this project can be real, i think, it will made a nuclear explosion in the global film industry.
Worth every penny, Even if it didn’t sound like Harrison Ford, the fact that it looks like him plus the fact that this is 10 years before a new Hope, I could buy that. Lando also looks incredible. Lucasfilm, if you’re listening, Hire this dude to do the deep fake for the Lando show.
@@michaelzane3823 Males generally reach their full adult height by age 16. Unless he's part of some alien race that continue to grow into their twenties I don't think that's the explanation.
@HEAT1996 No, we're not there yet. Harrison Ford is in his 70s. You can't expect them to just magically de-age him into a convincing 20-year-old version of himself, let alone for an entire film. Despite what you're suggesting, that has never been done before. He doesn't look the same, he doesn't sound the same and he doesn't move the same. Think about this logically, i.e. don't just go "ah, well Disney has a lot of money, so they'll figure out a way." If they could have, they would have.
@HEAT1996 And did Robert Deniro look like he's in his 20s to you in The Irishman?... He didn't even look like _actual_ Robert Deniro when he was younger. Think of it like this: what we're able to _decently_ achieve now is about equivalent of hair-coloring and that Simpsons joke of clamping wrinkles back with a clothespin. That's still a long way from convincingly "de-aging" someone by 40-50 years.
@HEAT1996 That's very unfair. Deepfakes started to blow up around 2 years ago, i.e. around the time SOLO was *released,* and it began post-production long before. Despite the technology being open-sourced, with lots of paid researchers and enthusiasts from around the world constantly improving it, neural networks still require a shit-load of data and time to train. The deepfaked Irishman video was only released this year. It's unrealistic to expect them to just hire people for one movie and make an even bigger leap in progress than professional engineers have in these 2 years, no matter how much money you throw at it. Additionally, the quality of the deepfake you're referencing was only possible with _the work already done by ILM_ (so I certainly wouldn't berate them) + a lot of time. It takes ages to produce videos like this, let alone entire movies. Shamook also deliberately picked easy scenes to do. You won't see the same quality in scenes where characters are constantly moving around.
@HEAT1996 Let me break it down for you... *-* de-aging a 50yo RDJ to his 20s for about a minute *-* de-aging a 70yo Douglas to his 40s for several minutes *This does not equate to being able to de-age a 70yo man back to his 20s (voice, body AND face) for an entire movie.*
Jeremy S. The director for MI:Fallout said he would’ve been fine in pausing production in order for Henry Cavil to shave his mustache and reshoot scenes for Justice League. It’s Paramount trying to flex and saying no because they want WB to deal with 100% of the problem.
Billy Dee Williams's face was actually inserted. Check it again. I think the only comment that some bloggers had was that Billy's face was just a little too large.
DIsney: We're releasing Solo: Special Edition Fans: We don't care... Disney: With a deep faked Harrison Ford, and his voice over Fans: Throw in deep fake Billy Dee and you got a deal! We'll take the toys, Blue Rays, DVDs...what else you got?!
Real fans: it would be easier to get a well done steak back in its legs than to make Solo watchable. Charles Dyson: Solo sucked so much I thought I could market it as a vacuum cleaner! Stalin: nyet! Solo blows chunks even with Ford’s face superimposed
The biggest challenge for Solo was the shadow of Harrison Ford. He’s such a great actor. He _is_ Han (and Indy). Despite that, Solo is a decent flick (certainly compared to some other newer releases). Ron Howard did a respectable job, the soundtrack is good (& unexpected, like “Lando’s Closet”), & there are some solid pieces of background narrative. Harrison’s Han is just a tough act to follow (or precede, in this case).
Solo was one of those movies that you either enjoyed, and kept your mouth shut around your friends. Or you hated it but couldn't articulate why. I was the former.
@@smileychess seeing a more well developed Chewie was worth it alone, once you get past the obvious difference in the main actors I thin he captured the spirit of a young Han well enough, i would have like to have seen another
I didn't hate it, but I'll probably never watch it again. All I really remember is how little Solo acted like Solo, and I also remember the movie being too physically dark. Oh, and that annoying robot, which I think they even gave a gender to pander to feminists. It was like the Jar Jar of the current age, where you're just hoping for their death. It's the kind of meh movie you watch when you're playing cards; in the background with nobody really watching.
That is so seamless! It makes me appreciate Alden’s Ehrenreich even more coz it just shows he nailed all the expressions and mannerisms of Han Solo. And that Lando Billy Dee Williams was a nice touch too
I think part of that is that his acting is actually really well studied for this role - I think we feel like the Han face is the "right" one because the mannerisms are so on point for Han
Yeah, it's a bit of a shame, given how well he captured his mannerisms, and how much he resembles him (which I didn't even realise until I saw them side by side here!).
Unfortunately true. The lack of physical resemblance wouldn't have been so bad if at least the actors sounded alike. But there was nothing. They shouldn't have gone ahead with the movie before finding an actor who had SOMETHING in common with Ford.
@@LMoir-by4lx You mean this guy. ruclips.net/video/f33h8p9Bacc/видео.htmlAnthony Ingruber. A guy who had already played a younger Harrison Ford in a previous movie. Unfortunately he casting didnt think he had "Star Power".
This is beautiful, both Alden and Donald have Harrison's and Billy's mannerisms and voices, but this is what they needed, Harrison's and Billy's faces. Spot on.
Pork Woofles, performances yes, movie not even close. Definitely near the bottom of all the films, with very little story that actually advanced the overall prequel/original trilogy narrative. Could easily have shaved off 30-60 minutes for better effect.
If anything, this made me realise how much Alden looks like a young Harrison (and, as mentioned in other comments, how well he captures his mannerisms); it really is just the voice that stands out, as Ford's is so much deeper.
This is an interesting way of seeing how a prequel actor measures up, he isnt too bad but.. He missed one crucial thing, finger pointing. Harrison and han emote ALOT with the finger of ford
Bruh this looks better than Tarkin in Rogue One....$200 million in 2016 bested by a $500 graphics card in 2020...fucking hell lol. THey need to re-do the Sequel Trilogy and they have no excuse not to do it now.
And with his voice deepfaked as well it would be perfect, it almost looks like an original trilogy movie... so AWESOME!!! This would sell millions in the box office! Disney hire professionals and not amateurs like you've doing all this time.
You will in the future. Actors will sell the rights for their image to make entire movies with their likeness. They'll just dub their lines from their mansions and some body double will act it out.
The actor resembling his/her DeepFake source is important, but not as important as being able to _act_ like that source. This 100% proves that. As for the voice, that's what ADR is for.
@@skellington2000 lol iew. Rogue one is the best of the new movies. yeah the sequel trilogy sucks no argument there. Solo was an okai movie by itself, and a shit movie for Han's character. Completely pissed on the character
@@skellington2000 I say R1 was the best one, the pacing and coloration was done right. Solo looks washed out and bland and it's more character focused. Everyone has their cup of tea.
This makes obvious how careful an close Alden Ehrenreich is to Fords acting. He was/is so misjudged. All at just repeating what some critics say without beim able to watch on their own.
I think this literally proves how well Alden Ehrenreich did as a young Solo, like those side by side shots are almost hard to tell whos who. I’m mostly talking about speech and the way he carries himself. He nailed it
@@TheAdoringFan yeah bad use of that word. I’m talking speech patterns, mannerisms, and overall how he carries himself. He really nailed a Harrison Ford impression. Ya know?
@@MarcusBlackstock Look at the youtube channel that puts celebrities voices into a creator (Vocal synthesis). Theyve done biggie smalls, trump, kennedy, obama, bob ross etc. It will be entirely possible in a few years. What scares me is what this could do to the law. Voice and facial impersonations will make security footage and recording irrelevant:(
They could do it with the integration of Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker for the season 3 of the mandalorian and make him look like an actual young Luke Skywalker... But, I doubt it...
You know, I didn't have any issues with the actor being han solo, bu this is very good. Imagine what it would have been like if they'd just did this with harrison's face.
Impressive. Looks great but I think the movie itself and the deepfake would look better if they had Anthony Ingruber as Han. This actor didnt make me see Han Solo in him at all. Seemed like a bad cosplay.
@@joeyjoe003 you are probably right. I dont think he has been in much other then Age of Adeline. Ideally for deepfakes to be used in movies to portray a deceased or living person, they should get someone with the same head dimensions and jawline with a similar voice. Then this technology would really shine. Sometimes the head shape and jaw throw off some deepfakes such as Sylvester Stalone's face on Arnold's head. I am positive the technology will at least be used for biopics in the future.
I watched the original in 1977 when I was 5 years old. This is truly amazing! Well done bro! If you could edit Lando at the end, and maybe alter the pitch of Solo's voice lower, I think you've got a winner! Really well done.
I'm sure most people in the comments would disagree, but to me this just shows how well Alden Ehrenreich did at portraying a young Han. The movie was actually good, people were just mad about The Last Jedi.
@@Fieryone233 I think the thing he was missing was being Harrison Ford. Obviously, nobody can do this but I think for most of the movie he did a fine job
Nah, nobody wanted a SOLO themed movie. We didn't have to see how he met Chewie, how he got his name and how the Kessel run "mistake" (parsec being a measurement for distance and not a time reference) was turned into a story- yadda yadda. But I guess it makes you feel better convincing yourself that everyone had an agenda because you, the master of all taste, liked it, right?
I agree on all three counts. 1) Alden did a great job. He was given a hell of a task: be only the second man to play a character that easily would make the list for Top 5 Most Beloved Anti-heroes in All of Pop Culture History. Solo's standing on this list had been cemented in for decades. Ford made it iconic, to say the least, and Alden's task was BEYOND daunting. Nonetheless, he did a fine job. 2) The movie was indeed a lot of fun. While not perfect, no, it still had the spirit that it needed to have. In other words, it felt like Star Wars should feel and while yes, one could argue that it played it "too safe," it didn't play it near as safe as "The Force Awakens" did. I'd actually go as far as to say it was the best Star Wars movie that Disney has put out ( though... that's not saying much as Rogue One was the only other that was decent, and it certainly wasn't without its problems ). 3) People were definitely upset with The Last Jedi... and rightfully so. Ha. It wasn't and isn't "Star Wars fatigue." It was "Bad Movie" fatigue. It was a case of "Jesus, that movie was terrible, and now that I think about it, the first one was mediocre at best... and NOW they're rolling the dice on an origin story on a BELOVED character?" People were skeptical, to say the least. I still have a number of big Star Wars fan friends who haven't even seen Solo and have expressed no interest to. Solo was a lot of fun. I would've loved to see a follow-up, but sadly enough, I'm afraid that a lot of us are starting realize that Star Wars is just plain burning out in the hands that it's in. It's not experiencing fatigue on the fans' part. They'd love to see more Star Wars movies..... Call 'em crazy, they'd just prefer that they were good.
This technology is getting dangerous. Imagine in the future this gets in the hands of the wrong person... Anybody could supcetible to being framed for any crime. Sorry to kill the vibe, but with every great invention comes an unseen danger.
They do have digital forensics. Even though we can’t see the alterations with the naked eye, they have programs and enhancements that can be utilized to tell if the original images have been altered. They can typically even tell what kind of alterations were done to it.
For the record I think Solo is a very serviceable sw movie, not award winning box office shattering, but not as horrible as alot of people made it out to be.
I'm sure you're aware, but it suffered primarily due to the aftermath of "The Last Jedi" - it may have been "serviceable" but as the old saying goes: *Money talks and 🐮💩 walks" and fans had had enough at that point and spoke with their wallets.
It wasn't that good and I didn't really need to know Han Solo's backstory. He was perfectly fine with a bit of mystery of his origins but audiences were still happy because of his type of character and watching him also grow from selfish to caring for others and being selfless. How's the loser version in this movie gonna become the lovable jerk we were introduced to in A New Hope? This does more undermines his character in the OT than it does to flesh him out when he didn't really need it in the first place. How he got Solo as a last name is particularly frustrating because he wasn't even clever enough to think of that himself. How many other randos were given the name Solo by that recruiter huh? You know there's more than one Solo now because that recruiter probably isn't the original guy. Once he thought that little joke up he just kept using it over and over to make his safe monotonous job in the Empire go by that little bit faster. Point is, I don't really think we see him devolve into the jaded character he starts out as in the OT, but I'm certain that's because they planned on a sequel instead of making a standalone story first, which is also an aggravating trend.
Kevin this is an excellent deep fake and one of the reasons it is so good is because it cues off the actors expressions, which, which HF’s face look pretty damn perfect and thoroughly convincing if not for the voice. That’s all in the acting performance. This deep fake proves, if anything, that he did a damn good job on one of the toughest acting gigs a performer can ever get - playing a younger version of an iconic and beloved character by an iconic and beloved actor.
@@jcadence4761 ....no. the deep fake is wearing one expression which is the one from the reference. Millennial Han reminded me in no way shape or form of the original, and the guy didn't even earn his role, they gave it to him as a favor to Spielberg.
I mean I think there's a different level of investment there. also the empire is really sneaky when it wants to be, and the general perception of it being heavy handed with legions of obvious troops helps them hide their sneakiness. So it may also be that its just not widely known that they even do that. Obviously I am over thinking this, but its fun
I thought Donald Glover did such a good job as Lando, I didn't notice Billy Dee Williams at first. 2:00 Alden did a good job at the mannerisms just not the voice. The first scene with Donald he nailed the voice.
Absolutely. If you are impressed by an impression ("the first scene"). Not the same thing as acting though. Glover had both. But Ehrenreich, like Pine doing Kirk, did the character, not an impression/just a voice. Urban also did both things. And considering they're secondary characters, probably a good call. And if you didn't notice BDW at first, having the face there is sorta redundant, right?

He was not the bad part of that movie.

Solo grows more and more each time I watch it. That movie really got the shaft because of the Last Jedi backlash from those without the emotional maturity to separate the two films.

Phil zu Neide yep
This just shows how good Alden Ehrenreich’s performance was actually because, without the face, he played a young Han Solo. Not just Harrison Ford.
That's what impressed me the most. I officially approve this guy! (Alden Enrenreich)
Physically, however, Alden is just too short at 5'9". And that actually bothered me quite a lot throughout the entire movie. Ford is 6'1 and you saw it a lot when he'd get in Chewie's face to calm and refocus him when needed. Alden could not match that connection in physicality. Or maybe they need a shorter Chewie. LOL

The deep fake looked way better and more natural.
@DamageIncM Human faces are much harder to replicate than fictional squid-monsters. The human brain has a built-in process for analyzing human faces, and anything that trips it up even slightly triggers a repulsion response you would know as the Uncanny Valley.
Give it time.
@DamageIncM That's the thing, just because you feel they can do better doesn't mean they can, if you look at videogame characters, that's basically the same concept, why aren't all video game characters realistic (in grounded stories like the last of us) the tech just doesn't exist yet to replicate a human face with such detail that you catch all of those tiny micro adjustments that occur with facial movement, at the moment something like the Leia or Tarkin animations, that are imposed and matched to a human performance by the way, take hundreds even thousands of hours to design, animate and render and that's with what you call bad cgi, now imagine a photo real human, with every single tiny movement in the human face when talking and compare that to the former example, take that 100+ hours and multiply it by the amount of detail you want, 100% more detailed? 100% increase on time if you get what i'm saying, at the moment cgi to that degree is unsustainable, that's why people are such big fans of deep faking, its just preexisting footage that is scanned and matched to the performance underneath, and it still takes maybe 100+ hours to make a near seamless deepfake.

Where he was pushed to be better than those around him by her and where he tried to escape numerous times only to be dragged back until the con man killed the Wookie and Han had had enough and resorted to desperate measures to escape with his life. Where Han was not a deserter from the Imperial Navy, but one of their up and coming top talents that threw it all away to rescue a captured Wookie from being executed. A Han that became a smuggler because the Empire blacklisted him from ever having a legitimate piloting job of any kind. He couldn't fly a ferry, he couldn't fly as a trainer, he couldn't even fly a garbage scow. A Han that hit rock bottom and pulled himself up to be at the top of the smuggling food chain, with good friends that he could trust that lost all that because of the Rebel Alliance. A Han that was deeply hurt by the woman he loved the most and was at the end of his rope when he heard that Chewie had found them a charter for an old man, a kid and two droids.

HEAT1996 Problem is. Harrison Ford wouldn’t have returned to the role. He hated Han Solo. In fact he was happy when they killed him off.
@HEAT1996 No, we're not there yet. Harrison Ford is in his 70s. You can't expect them to just magically de-age him into a convincing 20-year-old version of himself, let alone for an entire film. Despite what you're suggesting, that has never been done before. He doesn't look the same, he doesn't sound the same and he doesn't move the same. Think about this logically, i.e. don't just go "ah, well Disney has a lot of money, so they'll figure out a way." If they could have, they would have.
@HEAT1996 And did Robert Deniro look like he's in his 20s to you in The Irishman?... He didn't even look like _actual_ Robert Deniro when he was younger.
Think of it like this: what we're able to _decently_ achieve now is about equivalent of hair-coloring and that Simpsons joke of clamping wrinkles back with a clothespin. That's still a long way from convincingly "de-aging" someone by 40-50 years.
@HEAT1996 That's very unfair. Deepfakes started to blow up around 2 years ago, i.e. around the time SOLO was *released,* and it began post-production long before.
Despite the technology being open-sourced, with lots of paid researchers and enthusiasts from around the world constantly improving it, neural networks still require a shit-load of data and time to train. The deepfaked Irishman video was only released this year. It's unrealistic to expect them to just hire people for one movie and make an even bigger leap in progress than professional engineers have in these 2 years, no matter how much money you throw at it.
Additionally, the quality of the deepfake you're referencing was only possible with _the work already done by ILM_ (so I certainly wouldn't berate them) + a lot of time. It takes ages to produce videos like this, let alone entire movies. Shamook also deliberately picked easy scenes to do. You won't see the same quality in scenes where characters are constantly moving around.
@HEAT1996 Let me break it down for you...
*-* de-aging a 50yo RDJ to his 20s for about a minute
*-* de-aging a 70yo Douglas to his 40s for several minutes
*This does not equate to being able to de-age a 70yo man back to his 20s (voice, body AND face) for an entire movie.*

The biggest challenge for Solo was the shadow of Harrison Ford. He’s such a great actor. He _is_ Han (and Indy). Despite that, Solo is a decent flick (certainly compared to some other newer releases). Ron Howard did a respectable job, the soundtrack is good (& unexpected, like “Lando’s Closet”), & there are some solid pieces of background narrative. Harrison’s Han is just a tough act to follow (or precede, in this case).

You can, just not as refined as this.
The german voice actor is so close to the original german voice actor, its uncanny.
Wow this looks so much better! We need the whole movie like this.
YES YES AND YES!!!
They could do it with the integration of Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker for the season 3 of the mandalorian and make him look like an actual young Luke Skywalker... But, I doubt it...
I could sit and watch the whole deep fake Star Wars all day, every day.
You know, I didn't have any issues with the actor being han solo, bu this is very good.
Imagine what it would have been like if they'd just did this with harrison's face.
Impressive. Looks great but I think the movie itself and the deepfake would look better if they had Anthony Ingruber as Han. This actor didnt make me see Han Solo in him at all. Seemed like a bad cosplay.
But Anthony Ingruber is an impressionist. I'm thinking he's not that good of an actor. Alden Ehrenreich
Yes I agree they should deepfake ingrubers face over Ehrenreichs face as he looks more like a younger Harrison ford!
@@joeyjoe003 you are probably right. I dont think he has been in much other then Age of Adeline. Ideally for deepfakes to be used in movies to portray a deceased or living person, they should get someone with the same head dimensions and jawline with a similar voice. Then this technology would really shine. Sometimes the head shape and jaw throw off some deepfakes such as Sylvester Stalone's face on Arnold's head. I am positive the technology will at least be used for biopics in the future.
100% agree. Ingruber > Ehrenreich
This without a doubt the best defense of Solo and just how good Alden Ehrenreich really was.
I watched the original in 1977 when I was 5 years old. This is truly amazing! Well done bro! If you could edit Lando at the end, and maybe alter the pitch of Solo's voice lower, I think you've got a winner! Really well done.
I'm sure most people in the comments would disagree, but to me this just shows how well Alden Ehrenreich did at portraying a young Han. The movie was actually good, people were just mad about The Last Jedi.
Alden did a fine job acting, I just don't think he was a good pick for Young Han, to me he's just missing something.
@@Fieryone233 I think the thing he was missing was being Harrison Ford. Obviously, nobody can do this but I think for most of the movie he did a fine job
Nah, nobody wanted a SOLO themed movie. We didn't have to see how he met Chewie, how he got his name and how the Kessel run "mistake" (parsec being a measurement for distance and not a time reference) was turned into a story- yadda yadda. But I guess it makes you feel better convincing yourself that everyone had an agenda because you, the master of all taste, liked it, right?
I agree on all three counts.
1) Alden did a great job. He was given a hell of a task: be only the second man to play a character that easily would make the list for Top 5 Most Beloved Anti-heroes in All of Pop Culture History. Solo's standing on this list had been cemented in for decades. Ford made it iconic, to say the least, and Alden's task was BEYOND daunting. Nonetheless, he did a fine job.
2) The movie was indeed a lot of fun. While not perfect, no, it still had the spirit that it needed to have. In other words, it felt like Star Wars should feel and while yes, one could argue that it played it "too safe," it didn't play it near as safe as "The Force Awakens" did. I'd actually go as far as to say it was the best Star Wars movie that Disney has put out ( though... that's not saying much as Rogue One was the only other that was decent, and it certainly wasn't without its problems ).
3) People were definitely upset with The Last Jedi... and rightfully so. Ha. It wasn't and isn't "Star Wars fatigue." It was "Bad Movie" fatigue. It was a case of "Jesus, that movie was terrible, and now that I think about it, the first one was mediocre at best... and NOW they're rolling the dice on an origin story on a BELOVED character?" People were skeptical, to say the least. I still have a number of big Star Wars fan friends who haven't even seen Solo and have expressed no interest to.
Solo was a lot of fun. I would've loved to see a follow-up, but sadly enough, I'm afraid that a lot of us are starting realize that Star Wars is just plain burning out in the hands that it's in. It's not experiencing fatigue on the fans' part. They'd love to see more Star Wars movies.....
Call 'em crazy, they'd just prefer that they were good.
This technology is getting dangerous. Imagine in the future this gets in the hands of the wrong person... Anybody could supcetible to being framed for any crime. Sorry to kill the vibe, but with every great invention comes an unseen danger.
This tech is legit worrying
And it’s genie out of the bottle stuff. You’ll never be able to get rid of it ... or fully trust your own eyes when seeing video.
And anyone who does legit do crime and caught could simply dismiss it off with this tech.
They do have digital forensics. Even though we can’t see the alterations with the naked eye, they have programs and enhancements that can be utilized to tell if the original images have been altered. They can typically even tell what kind of alterations were done to it.
Perhaps technology will advance in a way to counteract these potential problems. If tech can create them, maybe tech can overcome them.
For the record I think Solo is a very serviceable sw movie, not award winning box office shattering, but not as horrible as alot of people made it out to be.
I'm sure you're aware, but it suffered primarily due to the aftermath of "The Last Jedi" - it may have been "serviceable" but as the old saying goes: *Money talks and 🐮💩 walks" and fans had had enough at that point and spoke with their wallets.
It wasn't that good and I didn't really need to know Han Solo's backstory. He was perfectly fine with a bit of mystery of his origins but audiences were still happy because of his type of character and watching him also grow from selfish to caring for others and being selfless. How's the loser version in this movie gonna become the lovable jerk we were introduced to in A New Hope?
This does more undermines his character in the OT than it does to flesh him out when he didn't really need it in the first place. How he got Solo as a last name is particularly frustrating because he wasn't even clever enough to think of that himself. How many other randos were given the name Solo by that recruiter huh? You know there's more than one Solo now because that recruiter probably isn't the original guy. Once he thought that little joke up he just kept using it over and over to make his safe monotonous job in the Empire go by that little bit faster.
Point is, I don't really think we see him devolve into the jaded character he starts out as in the OT, but I'm certain that's because they planned on a sequel instead of making a standalone story first, which is also an aggravating trend.
It’s only serviceable in comparison to Rise of Skywalker.
It wasn't bad, just pointless. And after TLJ, fans were pissed at Disney, so they stayed the hell away from Solo in droves.
Bro you crept up on me with the Billy Dee cameo 😂 I was like wait, WUT? No wonder Lucasfilm snatched you up. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Can't believe know one else is also commenting on that. It's great. 😀
It actually shows how well Alden did in the impossible task of being HF's Han.
how did he do well? he had the voice of a teenage tik tok star
Kevin this is an excellent deep fake and one of the reasons it is so good is because it cues off the actors expressions, which, which HF’s face look pretty damn perfect and thoroughly convincing if not for the voice. That’s all in the acting performance. This deep fake proves, if anything, that he did a damn good job on one of the toughest acting gigs a performer can ever get - playing a younger version of an iconic and beloved character by an iconic and beloved actor.
@@jcadence4761 ....no. the deep fake is wearing one expression which is the one from the reference. Millennial Han reminded me in no way shape or form of the original, and the guy didn't even earn his role, they gave it to him as a favor to Spielberg.
Kevin his facial expressions for one, and I actually thought he did a damn fine job with his voice acting as the way he’d enunciate his words
Spot on... crazy he did a Han esque take but made it his own!
I liked Alden, but I'd love to see the whole movie treated this way, be fantastic to have it as an option.
Paul Bateman randomly in the comments. I love the internet. Big fan man!
Would be great to have a "deepfake" option like closed caption.
“The Empire doesn’t send out a team of enforcers to hunt you down”
*Cal Kestis*- you wot mate?
I mean I think there's a different level of investment there. also the empire is really sneaky when it wants to be, and the general perception of it being heavy handed with legions of obvious troops helps them hide their sneakiness. So it may also be that its just not widely known that they even do that.
Obviously I am over thinking this, but its fun
Solo isn’t a Jedi, just a low level private
Vader: No disintegrations!
Jesus, if you'd been able to do the whole film I would've actually paid money to watch it.
I have good news for you my friend
@@JoshOdom ??
@@LFXGaming disney hired homie that did these to work on lukes face in mando s2
After seeing this and the footage of them side by side, I feel like they did a good job casting!
Yup, considering you don’t exactly find a dozen Harrison Fords every time you put out a casting call, it was good work.
Donald Glover as Lando was perfect!
Except for Solo.
@@isaacddestroy3674 Anthony Ingruber could be better...
Honestly I could never get past his voice...
This makes me appreciate Alden Ehrenreich's performance. The Harrison Ford face with so many facial expressions is very foreign.
Doesn't match the character. A gunslinger smuggler hotshot pilot doesn't have a bunch of different facial expressions, he's not Jar Jar Binks.
@@yugen in Solo, he's not a gunslinger hotshot pilot yet. He's a kid that ran away from a war.
@@yugen dumbest thing I've ever read lmfao how do facial expressions not fit a character
- "I hate you"
= "I know"
He looks and feels so much Harrison Ford in here :'D
You did an excellent job here sir.
Just cause he reversed the “I love you” “I know”, wow so hard to do
THIS IS SO AMAZING. Disney does awesome stuff ,but they don’t know how to find true wizards anymore.
@1:52 That Billy Dee Williams deep-fake was a pleasant surprise. Yes it enhances the scene for me.
I thought Donald Glover did such a good job as Lando, I didn't notice Billy Dee Williams at first. 2:00
Alden did a good job at the mannerisms just not the voice.
The first scene with Donald he nailed the voice.
Absolutely. If you are impressed by an impression ("the first scene"). Not the same thing as acting though. Glover had both. But Ehrenreich, like Pine doing Kirk, did the character, not an impression/just a voice. Urban also did both things. And considering they're secondary characters, probably a good call. And if you didn't notice BDW at first, having the face there is sorta redundant, right?
I want to see the whole movie like this.
1:50 wow
Need to use the “Apocalypse Now” age Harrison Ford. This Ford looks too old (even though the work itself is incredible).
Very accurate comment. Authentic statement right here!
Apocalypse Now came out after A New Hope though
American Graffiti would be good. He doesn't wear glasses in that one. Dark the whole time though...
