But why do they need to digitally de-age someone. Isn’t that more expensive than hiring a younger actor to whom someone will say, “Ah Jones here you are.” Like fucking Robert De Niro played younger Don Corleone in the Godfather and it was great. Do they think people are stupid? I mean yeah probably. But it still sucks. The language of cinema allows you to very quickly go along with the fact that now this actor is playing a younger version of that one, and there is absolutely no problem storywise. Irishman was ruined for me because of this, I couldn’t watch a 79 years old digitally de-aged actor throwing punches like he’s 40. It’s ruining the fucking movie and overall the experience.

It prevents new actors from being minted.

When the old actor dies, you can keep making things with his likeness, without the associated paycheque or PR gaffes.
