I promise, the cast of Stranger Things will not be younger digitally

Shawn Levy denies using CGI to make his actors look smaller than in reality.

The youthful faces of the actors Stranger Things evolve logically in step with the passing of time and seem little by little to move away from the time of innocence. At a time when the strike is immobilizing the production of the Netflix series, the question of rejuvenating the digital casting was posed to one of its key producers, Shawn Levy (who also realizes the next Dead Pool for Disney). According to him, nothing should be exaggerated, and the team will not need to make extreme efforts to get them back to their teenage faces. A little makeup, some lighting, and that’s it?

Shawn Levy recently suggested that producers would do everything possible to make the children’s aging seem less obvious. In an interview with Deadlinehe however clarified that he did not want to use new technologies to rejuvenate the casting.

“No“, he insisted when asked about the use of all kinds of AI to rejuvenate the actors who we discovered as children at the start of the show, and who will be in their twenties or almost when The final season will finally be filmed.

“I was a little surprised that a sentence I said on this subject traveled so much, he comments. We know what we are doing. Our cast is brilliant. The characters that Matt and Ross Duffer created are so vivid. I don’t worry that everyone will bring them back to life.”

This is the second time that Stranger Things is cut off in mid-swing. For reasons of pandemic in 2020, already, and today, the production is suffering from the writers’ and actors’ strike. Production activity may take time to restart (even once the strike is over), despite the team’s impatience to resume its activities.

Once the strike is lifted, producer Shawn Levy will have to resume his paused projects, Stranger Things but also Deadpool 3.

“The thing the public needs to know is that the creators of the series are fans of the project themselves, he adds. You must trust us. I’ve seen the schedules of different productions bend over backwards as we try to plan for a return to normal. I’m just going to find a way to give all these projects a chance.”

To date, no date has been announced for the final season of Stranger Things.
