@nbcnews: On Tuesday, Netflix unveiled the trailer for its new Willy Wonka-themed competition show, which features a re-creation of Gene Wilder’s voice. Wilder, who died in 2016 at age 83, was known for his role as the eccentric candy man in the 1971 children’s favorite “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.”

If the news was accurate it’d say “Mr. Wilder’s estate is delighted to get a big bag of money.”

Cat Ninja :

Interesting Netflix decides to use Ai, when most of their shows protest against it. If they really did use Ai, hopefully SAG-AFTRA will call them out, & not allow them to use their actors anymore. SAG-AFTRA is very strict in protecting their actor's against Ai.

Enough with these competition shows.

Squire :

It’s a slippery slope, and we’re slipping

this is dystopian

His estate loves the money. That’s it.

If gene signed off on his likeness being used in anyway before he passed, then there’s nothing everyone complaining can do 🤷🏼‍♂️
