The entertainment industry is currently at an impasse, with the WGA writers strike and SAG-AFTRA actors strike aiming to shift some of the power away from producers. Part of the struggle revolves around getting paid fairly for their achievements, rather than largely dealing with residual checks that amount to nothing. Another complicated piece of the puzzle is the concept of actors’ digital likenesses, and where lines should be drawn concerning how studios handle such replications of extras in Hollywood projects, and how much A.I. technology should be involved. A WandaVision background actor is now claiming that before such conversations started happening in earnest, she and others went through extensive body scans without being told what would happen to their digital forms.
