chris pratt’s AI clone just signed a 10-year movie deal—human actors call it ‘the end of Hollywood’
LOS ANGELES—In a landmark move that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, a fully synthetic digital replica of actor Chris Pratt has signed a 10-year, multi-studio production deal, becoming the first AI-generated celebrity to secure a long-term contract without human oversight. The avatar, trained on decades of Pratt’s performances, mannerisms, and vocal patterns, will star in a slate of upcoming action-comedies and franchise sequels completely autonomously. Human actors’ unions have filed an emergency injunction, calling the development “the final nail in the coffin for organic performance” and sparking a global debate on digital identity rights.
