But we have a video showing Bruce agreeing to this.

Edit: just to be clear, this is a joke. Company specializes in deep fakes. Ha ha.

I swear the last thing I read about Bruce before this is that his mental faculties were going and he was being taken advantage of by people surrounding him.

Is this no longer the case, or another instance?

There's a contract out there is he has ... or it's in the possession of his family controlling his wealth and they've not told him yet.

Deepcakes are those cakes that look like other things, except baked by a computer

He has aphasia which would make things confusing as you lose the use of language. I think the claims he was being taken advantage of went toward producers and Hollywood execs who kept putting him into movies because his name is big, even if he wasn’t fit for it. Hadn’t heard of a Stan Lee situation but there could be.

So deep fakes make deep fake vid with made up up deep lies about partnerships so others jump on board and sell their rights?

how deep does the rabbit hole go! Is the agent even real!?!?

So Deepcake used a deep fake deepfake story to gain them some PR.

I thought he was just trying to cash in as much as possible with his name and reputation before retiring, doing these cheap conveyor belt movies to secure him and his family financially for the future?

Yup, same thing Cage does. He does little work, only has to show up for a few days of filming, and gets paid a significant portion of the budget.

It has meant he had far more time to spend with his family.

Literally just heard this on the The Weekly Planet podcast. Brought up as James Earl Jones sold his rights over for his voice to Darth Vader.

As someone who had aphasia as a result of a stroke at 30 last year, I can tell you it's not fun and if my family weren't caring I could have gone through some awful shit. Thankfully I have very little to my name so no one wanted anything from other than to recover.

According to Deepcake, the studio worked with MegaFon in August 2021 on an ad campaign starring Bruce Willis. Deepcake did not work with Willis’ team directly and never entered into an agreement with him to use his “digital twin” for any additional purpose.

“Our engineers processed a dataset composed of 34,000 images of Bruce Willis and made his ‘digital twin’ for the series of MegaFon ads,” the spokesperson said. “Bruce Willis, whose bilateral contractual agreements with MegaFon remain unknown to Deepcake, appreciated our service and described it as ‘a very new and interesting experience’ in the official MegaFon press release.”

If you read an interview with him, he swears up and down that he cherry picks roles because he wholeheartedly thinks they’re amazing. Even during the IRS shenanigans. He’s crazy enough that I believe him though.

I don't think he was being taken advantage of but he did do a string of really shitty movies. The kind that spent 90% of the budget on him to show up and fuck around for an hour so they can trick people into buying it at the Redbox. Maybe also trick people into clicking on it because it was free on prime at the time and it was sci-fi so it's probably up my ally has face you know.

That sort of thing is probably more of a cash out thing than something he was tricked into. In like 20 years people won't remember him for that shit but there will probably be some video essay on the fuck happened.

Well, amazing or just interesting in some way. Like I saw an interview where he said he took the job on that bad FNAF ripoff movie specifically because he thought it would be fun to play a mute badass.

Although the one I was really disappointed in was "Prisoners of the Ghostland" which seriously should have been a lot better than it was.

I don't think he knew who any of those people were haha! Those movies are not even trying to be real movies. They're just "assemble a barely functional movie for just about no money, so you can sell it for stupid profit straight to streaming services and smaller TV channels without paying for any significant marketing" junk. Nobody is getting their careers propelled with those I think, other than literally having SOMETHING on a resume. He was either alone or with like one other actor for most of the shoots, and he was given almost no actual dialogue (for obvious reasons). Hell, they use body doubles for 90% of the shots where he has to do literally anything, and splice in the shots of his face.
