“I am very lucky to have a job,” Close told The Hollywood Reporter. “There were already so many people affected in Los Angeles, and now with the fires. I was surprised at the few jobs in our profession. I am a great history reader and, unfortunately, I think there are not enough people in this profession. The country understands The story and what we have gotten into.

Close reflected: “Is it a progress that less people work because of this? I don't know. I think we are losing something that is as important for a place like Sunday and what Michelle has done: stories about what it means to be a human being . We have to cling to that.

“We have to continue returning and inspire ourselves in things that teach us, to help us with our emotions to know what it means to be human and [to always] Look in the eyes of another person, not to a screen, but in the eyes of another human being. If we lose that, I'm afraid it will be a very slippery slope. “

According to the contract rules, an “EBDR is one created in relation to its use in a film” and may require something like scanning an actor's body. The compensation is based on how much an artist would have worked in person for the scenes in which the digital replica is used, and the artists are entitled to the residues of the appearance of their replica in the finished product.

“Studies want this to change your face after filming it: they can change your face, they can change your voice, they can change your lines, they can change your body language, they can change your performance,” Cage warned.
