The difference is that apparently they asked ScarJo first and she said no. When they ask Tom Hanks (or really his agent, I assume) the answer is "he's too busy with movies, try Jim".

    You think celebrities need to consent to someone that sounds similar to them getting work? That's insane.

    Having a talking woman in your phone is not stealing Scarlet Johansson's likeness, even if they sound somewhat similar. US copyright law is already ridiculous, and you want to make it even more bullshit?

    By that logic her role in Her was already stealing the voice actor for Siri's likeness, and she should have sued for that too.

    If you don't own your image what do you own?

    Also you know scale. There is a difference between an Elvis impersonation in Vegas vs a huge ass corporation.

    You own the pile of money you earned for the role you played in someone else's creative project.

    This isn't back to the future 2 making a Crispin Glover face mask and putting it on an extra, its using a woman for a voice acting role for an AI speaking from your phone, and somehow that's stealing from a movie with the same concept, but not stealing from the actual phone AIs voiced by women that existed before the movie.

    How would you feel if I made wheelbarrows of money off your face or voice without your consent and not paying you a penny? What about your family, got a relatives you care about who would look great in my AI generated porno?

    The world is schizophrenic about this. On one hand we know that data is king and knowing about a person and having access to what they produce is a super important very lucrative field. The biggest companies on earth buy and sell data about people. On the other hand we argue that your image and data has no value and anyone can do what they want with it.

    Then I'd have grounds to sue you for stealing my likeness, just like Crispin Glover did in the example I just gave.

    Are you under the impression that's what happened here? It isn't. The voice is clearly not Scarlet Johansson's, and she doesn't have any kind of ownership over the concept of an AI in your phone using an upbeat woman's voice to speak to you.
