I’m appalled and saddened to hear that Tilly Norwood’s brief but dazzling career has abruptly ended due to an unforeseen tragedy.
After six long days of existence, the AI actress heralded as the “future of cinema” and “the first digital star who doesn’t complain about contracts” has been officially pronounced forgotten.
Sources close to the project report that Tilly’s untimely demise was caused by a catastrophic case of public indifference. Despite a major PR campaign, fake behind-the-scenes leaks, and carefully orchestrated influencer endorsements, audiences grew weary of her flawless cheekbones and nonexistent personality faster than you can scroll past an ad.
The production studio has confirmed that they will not attempt a reboot, citing “a lack of human interest.”
Tilly leaves behind no filmography, no legacy, and no grieving fans - only a press kit, a derelict Instagram account with disabled comment section, and a cautionary tale about believing your own marketing.
May she rest in perpetual beta.
Oh they’ll be back. Too much potential money in a star that only says what they want, will never age and has no limits on what she will do.
Imagine what Disney could do with this: an infinite series of MCU/Star Wars movies where the actors don’t get old.

They can’t do shit with it.
AI can interpolate (between 2+ earth animals) but it can’t extrapolate (Yoda’s off world girlfriend)
i mean we were criticizing the green screens in the prequel trilogy, but they pushed technological boundaries while making those films
I don’t know how I could comprehend characters that never age and what Disney could possibly do with them. I am having a hard time imagining because they keep distracting me with their animated films.
They’re already doing the first bit
But every time they need an already dead character they just have to use it again… even if the last time was 20 years ago. And the character would be exactly as remembered.
So, no need to recast Thunderbolt Ross.
Tarkin looked surprisingly good in Rogue One. I was a skeptic until I actually saw it on the big screen. I know that’s different, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
