We are used to seeing famous actor faces embedded in film images through the problematic power of deep counterfeiting. But what about the faces of famous actors implanted in video game images?
That is exactly what a deepfake creator, who goes by the name Jarkan has done, importing Nathan Fillion’s face into Uncharted 4 and replacing poor Nathan Drake’s virtual chops in the process.
For the uninitiated, deepfake software allows users to swap one person’s face for another with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning. His arrival has been met with great concern, particularly around fraud and ethical issues.
While Jarkan’s work is truly impressive, it’s also strange to see Nathan Fillion’s face instead of Nathan Drake’s in Uncharted. Fillian is an obvious choice for this deepfake, of course. The Firefly and Castle star has long been touted as a great choice for Drake in any Uncharted movie. (In fact, Fillion played Drake in a very good live-action fan movie.) But still, Fillion’s face in Uncharted 4 just doesn’t sit well with me. It is not the natural order of things.
Whats Next? Nicolas Cage like all video game characters? Oh wait…
