Keanu Reeves Confirms His Film Contracts Ban Digital Edits to His Acting

[sandstorm]

“You lose your agency," says Keanu Reeves about deepfakes. “When you give a performance in a film, you know you’re going to be edited, but you’re participating in that. If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary.” https://t.co/MWrvU7d3Wx

Every time I see someone crying/sobbing in a film and their face isn't red and snot isn't running from their nose I assume something like this happened

He says editing is okay. Excessive VFX and digital alteration is not okay for him.

You can't be in movies without editing.

Or what am I missing? lol

Don't slap a new emotion on his face. Editing cuts and takes is fine.

At this point, we have the technology to make someone say something they didn't say, cry when they weren't actually crying, etc. That's the kind of thing he's not okay with. Digitally manipulating the performance.

[5368f65]

That's my point, too.

Aw beans. I shouldve googled before i posted this. Apparently, he changed his stance 🙇🏻‍♀️

[justrachna]

He is correct! And good for him protecting his work. I know people dunk on his acting skills but he is perfectly fine. There are so many worse actors out there. Keanu has charm and by all accounts tries to compensate the crew fairly. He can stay.

I saw a clip where Queen Latifah has a no death clause in her contract because she kept dying in her earlier films and she was like I don’t want or need this! And put that clause in lol. Good for her too, tbh

Good for Queen Latifah. I wish Billy Brown would do the same, it feels like he dies in every TV series he is in.
