Netflix uses AI to recreate Gene Wilder's voice for new Wonka show

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Netflix is producing a reality competition show titled "Wonka's The Golden Ticket," inspired by the 1971 film "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory." The show will feature 12 contestants navigating challenges, with sets designed to evoke the original movie. Notably, Netflix has obtained permission from the Gene Wilder estate to use an AI-generated recreation of the late actor's voice for the character, a decision supported by his wife, Karen B. Wilder.
