This week, while promoting his new horror film “Longlegs,” Cage spoke with The New Yorker. He had to end the conversation early because he had to do “a scan” afterwards.
“After this, I have to sneak away to go be scanned for the concert and for the movie I’m doing after the event. He clarified, probably alluding to his impending “Spider-Man Noir” series, “two scans in one day.”
“I guess they’ll have to scan me into a computer, match my eye color, and make some other changes. They’re just going to use digital AI to take my body and use it for anything they want. .. Please, please, not AI.
I’m frightened about that. I’ve spoken out a lot about it,” he declared in the interview.
And that begs the question, you know, where will the artists’ truth wind up? Is a replacement planned? Will it undergo transmogrification? Where will the heartbeat occur?
I mean, after I’m dead, what will you do with my face and body? Nothing you do with it is what I want you to do.
Telluride Legal Strategies’ founder and principal, Rob Rosenberg, told News Cage that he shouldn’t be as concerned about the actors’ strike from last summer as he appears to be.
