Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland star in a one minute and 20 second clip of a deepfake remake of Back To The Future (1985).
If you don’t already know the story, a 17-year-old teenager and an old, crazy scientist time travel back 30 years in the past. Of course whenever time travel is involved weird unforeseen consequences usually arise. In the case the mother of the teen falls in love with him instead of his father.
Does this mean he will have never been born if they travel back to the future? Complicated. A YouTuber who goes by the name EZRyderX47 was the culprit of substituting Downey and Holland into the iconic scene.
This is one of the movies that people are either really into and have watched all three in the sequence many times, or not. So the responses were an equally mixed bag. The video was posted Feb 14 and already racked up 4.6 million views and 65,000 likes.
Some comments read;
“And just like that, I can’t believe anything I see ever again.”
“Gets so close up on their faces and you’d never be able to tell. Amazed how far this has come so quickly.”
“First video I have ever seen of you. I’m a huge back to the Future fan this was done so well. It almost makes me feel like this was the movie. So insane completely professional.”
So, generally people love the short clip and its exceptional production. I’m sure there will always be fans who hate seeing the classics redone though. After seeing this, it’s clear that technology has the ability to fool us all, is this a good thing? Probably not, but for now it’s fun to just laugh at Youtube videos and forget about all that.
