DUCK is a daring deepfake short that follows Sean Connery’s unraveling after he witnesses Marilyn Monroe’s return from the dead. Set in the instantly recognizable world of a British spy thriller, Connery plays the role he knows all too well: collecting clues, wrongfooting assailants, and eliminating the femme fatale — only to find that all is not what it seems. DUCK is unique in entirely using deepfake video and audio, resurrecting actors via AI. Visually captivating, funny, and technically innovative, the film takes elements from classic Hollywood, video games, film noir, and sci-fi to raise compelling questions about truth and power.
