In a move that’s shaking up the film industry, rising Hollywood star Kyle Morrow has admitted to using an AI-generated version of himself to shoot nearly half of the scenes in his new action film, Phantom Protocol. The confession came during a press junket when a reporter noticed inconsistencies in Morrow’s voice and facial expressions in key scenes.
According to an internal studio report leaked online, over 47% of the movie’s runtime featured an AI double — created using advanced deepfake technology and trained on thousands of hours of Kyle’s past footage, interviews, and motion capture.
The reaction from fans has been mixed, with many expressing shock and betrayal. “It’s like finding out your favorite singer lip-synced their whole concert,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). Some moviegoers are demanding partial refunds.
“I didn’t do this to be lazy,” Morrow explained in a video apology. “I had an injury during filming and we had deadlines. The AI helped finish the job. Every scene was approved by me.” However, critics argue it sets a dangerous precedent for actors and authenticity in cinema.
Despite the backlash, film executives are calling this a “glimpse into the future.” AI doubles could reduce production costs, handle reshoots instantly, and allow actors to be in multiple films simultaneously. But actors’ unions are now pushing back, calling it a “digital identity theft waiting to happen.”
Entertainment experts say this might just be the beginning. Rumors are swirling that some studios are working on AI-generated actors who never existed — entire celebrities made from scratch. The line between real and artificial in entertainment is blurring faster than ever.
As AI continues to transform Hollywood, one question remains: Will the audience still care if their favorite star on screen isn’t even human?
