Lionsgate has used deepfake software on Fall to remove swearing. The upcoming action thriller starring Grace Caroline Currey, and Virginia Gardner was apparently full of f-bombs… and with Lionsgate desperate for a PG-13 rating, the filmmakers used deepfake to get rid of all that swearing.According to Mann, the team edited out more than 30 f-bombs throughout the movie – changing the film’s rating from R-rated to a PG-13. Many of the film’s most egregious curses were changed to teen-appropriate ones such as “freaking”. “As far as I know, every movement my mouth made in that movie, my mouth made,” said Grace Caroline Currey. The TrueSync software used by Mann was originally designed to improve dubbing when translating films into other languages. It uses technology similar to other deepfake-style software, altering the mouth movements to sync to new alternative dialogue. (courtesy Ryan Leston)
