AI turned Cathy Barriga and Benjamín Vicuña into Barbie and Ken

Internet users continue to do their thing with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and this time turned the trailer Barbie in a Chilean versionwhere the leading roles were in the hands of Cathy Barriga as Barbie and Benjamín Vicuña, as Ken.

This idea was jointly embodied by the DeepMaster studio, which works with AI; and the well-known digital creator Nano Videos, who using deepfake they inserted the faces of national celebrities into the bodies of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who are the true protagonists of the upcoming film.

The term “deppfake”, which translates into Spanish as “ultrafake”, is an artificial intelligence technique that allows you to create fake videos of real people using internet algorithms from already existing videos and images.

This is how it became possible to integrate the faces of Barriga and Vicuña with enough realism in the preview of the film, which was released last Tuesday and is scheduled to premiere on June 20 of this year.

A Barbie movie?

The production Directed by Greta Gerwigwill tell the story of the iconic Mattel doll first sold in the late 50’s and which remains to this day as one of the most sought-following toys.

According to what the first trailer revealed, the doll (Robbie) will make a leap from “Barbieland” to reality, where accompanied by Ken (Gosling) she will get to know the real world and those who created her.

Although the leads are already stunning, the rest of the cast is not far behind. In the horde of Barbies stand out Emma Mackey, who will be in charge of interpreting the winning version of a Nobel Prize in Physics of the doll.

british singer, Dua Lipawill be a Mermaid Barbie, while Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) is a diplomatic version. Another of the actors that stands out from the cast is Michael Cera (Juno), who plays Ken’s best friend, Allan.
