News & Reviews:   deepfake

Since last year, DeepFake technology has been improving steadily and we are starting to see more videos featuring celebrities in another movie. One fine example is the fan-made Back to the Future video featuring Tom Holland, thanks to the growing interest of the reboot. Now we found another fan-made video of Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne in the movie, Batman Begins.

If you remember about three weeks ago, there was a fan-made video of Back to the Future featuring Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland as D Emmett Brown and Marty McFly on YouTube. Using Deepfake technology, YouTube user EZRyderX47 reimagined how the classic would look like should the movie ever get rebooted. This has happened twice already; now another YouTuber, stryder HD actually made a fan-made tease trailer concept with Deepfake technology.

If you thought that deepfake videos created with a single photo was bad, wait till you hear about this. A scammer managed to trick an employee into transferring USD$243000 (~RM1022544) by deepfaking their CEO’s voice.
