New Michael Jackson teaser recreated using face replacement by Stéphane Davi

Bringing Michael Jackson back to life in his own film! Over the past few days, I dedicated my time to recreating, shot by shot, the trailer of the Michael Jackson film, replacing the character portrayed by Jaafar Jackson with the real Michael Jackson. I also replaced several other actors with their original counterparts in order to get as close to reality as possible.

I went even further by:

• adding shots that do not exist in the film,
• reworking the edit,
• and proposing a slightly different visual interpretation, always with respect for the original work.

Some sequences were even entirely recreated using AI, including the actors’ performances themselves, to push realism as far as possible.

Beyond being a technical demo, this project is first and foremost a tribute. Michael Jackson was, in my opinion, the greatest artist the world has ever known.

It is also thanks to him that I chose this profession. The magician, multi-talented, who passed on to me, in his own way, the desire to create a little magic myself… As a lifelong fan of Michael, I wanted to restore his image, with care and precision, in memory of the artist. I want to be very clear:

This work is in no way a sign of disrespect toward the producers and actors of the film, nor toward the director Antoine Fuqua, whose work I have deeply admired for many years.

This is a personal project, created with passion, respect, and sincerity.
A silent thank you to the artist who started it all.
