Plus to de-age kids by a few years feels pretty absurd to me. I'm still not a huge fan of this de aging tech with older or dead actors but why not just write age appropriate stories and cast accordingly rather than spend millions on CG? For all the effort gone into the effect, you could just write a better story. It seems like the easier route. Or recast if necessary. Idk I still feel like deepfakes, no matter how impressive they can get as time goes on, is still a parlor trick that really should be used minimally. Then again when has Hollywood ever shown restraint when it come to some new tool?
