Marty has never been the best when it comes to computer effects. I mean have you seen the utterly god awful green screen effects in Shutter Island. Christ.
The digital de-aging of DeNiro in The Irishman is terrible
- Thread starter NTGYK
- Start date
That Michael Douglas shot is almost exactly the same as the WWII DeNiro shot. They have the exact same pros and cons.
Irishman tech isn't perfect, but calling it terrible is absolutely stupid. Terrible CG exists, and this ain't it

The only one that looks good in the OP is SLJ.
Also, you have to keep in mind they're not trying to match a young DeNiro here but creating a younger looking character. DeNiro of today has a much larger frame and a more lethargic voice and motion, neither of which are being de-aged.

Marvel's Kurt Russel is the only one I'm ok with. I don't know why. I can buy older version like Sharon and Steve more easily.
None of the reviews said it was noticeable past the first few minutes -- I'm guessing when it's not some random scene your eyes adjust pretty quickly.
The worst one in recent memory is definitely CGI Tarkin in Rogue One. It just took me out of every scene he was in.

That is a shit ton more work. You going to slim him down in all those scenes as well?
they had to match current DeNiro's performance capture. They weren't just creating a CGI character from scratch.
Six years of technological improvements and still looks weird.
I would have never thought about it if it wasn't for this post. The de-aging looks absolutely fine, and I am not at all bothered that he varies from real young Deniro. I see that image and I instantly think of Robert Deniro.
All of those examples look great. I never even had issues with the Jeff Bridges de-aging in Tron. I thought it looked great. It's a great and fun technology that the average person doesn't notice there being any real CG involved.

Bobby's got some jowls on him now and I imagine that's a bit harder.
Even "young" Kurt Russell has a giant chin.
It's also hard to "de-age" eyes. Michael Douglas's age shows through his eyes (though it's still damned good). The other actors you posted all have similar eyes/eye shape now vs their younger selves. DeNiro didn't get so lucky, I think.

Haven't seen Civil War in a while but I feel like that scene looks better in motion. Wonder if it holds up.
OP
OP
this isn't robert de niro, this is a movie character in the film The Irishman
who says that character has to look as the actor robert de niro looked when he was younger
the experiences of that character's life perhaps took a harsher physical toll
than that of the life experiences of the actor robert de niro

How do you de-age Marlon Brando's Vito Corleone in 1970s cinema? Cast Robert DeNiro.
You gotta appreciate the humor of this thread being made on a gaming forum haha.
Anyway, I gotta be honest: Who Cates? I was worried this would be Scorsese falling off and the movie is, by all accounts, totally fantastic. So I'm relieved and thoroughly hyped based on that alone.
And also, like... it doesn't really matter if DeNiro looked like that 30 years ago? He's not playing "DeNiro 30 years ago" he's playing Frank Shearon :b

Actually, there's this one studio, Lola, that they work with that does this across all their films. They didn't go with Lola on Rogue One, which is why the de-aging there sucks.
That being said, my favorite de-aging is Anthony Hopkins in Westworld, they got really close to the real young Hopkins:
Whaaat? Captain Marvel SLJ is a dead ringer for SLJ in XXX.
Sam Jackson was in his 50s in that movie
Most people seeing the movie have no clue what the real guy looks like. But it's funny you say that with all the people saying what's important is he looks like the real guy.
Let's be fair here -- Real Life 90's Samuel Jackson actually looks way older than Marvel's 90's Samuel Jackson:
Hair ages the hell out of him. It looks younger over a decade later than Jurassic Park in RotS.
