The world's first web series using deepfakes was filmed in Russia

The web series featured actors Jason Statham, Margot Robbie, Keanu Reeves and Robert Pattinson.

PMGeyson is a light humorous parody web series.

This is an ironic look of a foreigner in the face of Jason Statham on Russian life.

The project reveals the protagonist's attempts to willingly understand and integrate into this life, which, in turn, integrates into Jason to the fullest, ”Parfun said in a comment to TASS.

The action of the plot takes place in 2027: after five years of filming in Russia, Statham remained to live in a Russian village.

For the anniversary, his colleagues in the shop come to the actor.

Their images were created using deepfake technology. 

Earlier, American actor Bruce Willis was the first Hollywood artist to sell the rights to use his appearance using deepfake technology.

This will be done by the Deepcake web platform created by Russian engineers, which optimizes content based on artificial intelligence.
