A few years back, Rex was seen as an up-and-coming actor after appearing in a string of unexpected successful indie films. His star was on the rise, and he finally scored a multi-million dollar deal to lead in a major motion picture from a mainstream studio. But with only a few days left of filming, the production was struck by something that affected the entire world: The Great Shift.
Despite a long delay, production did pick back up in a few months. The on location sets were relaced with a green screen studio, and Rex was given a motion capture suit. He knew what it all meant. They’d CGI his original body in with advanced AI; they’d deep fake his original voice in as well. They’d get these last few scenes in come hell or high water, and then his career was done.
After all, he was now in the body of a graying 60 year old woman. There wasn’t exactly a huge demand for that type of actor in the big budget film world. He should’ve been an action star or an Oscar winner, but now he was probably either going to be stuck as a character actor or simply go into early retirement.
