The music video for Fantasia’s “Superpower (I)” from “The Color Purple” is here.
“Superpower (I),” written and produced by The-Dream, is performed by Fantasia during the musical film’s end credits. The track is shortlisted for the best original song Oscar, as is the film’s “Keep It Movin.’”
Directed by Taylor Fauntleroy, the video features Fantasia singing the powerful track with her younger self, made possible with the use of AI technology. Fantasia, dressed in a sparkly silver and black gown, sings with her 19-year-old self in the red dress she wore for her 2004 “American Idol” performance of “Summertime.” The soaring ballad is an anthem that comes to symbolize Fantasia’s 20-year career from reality competition star to the award-winning lead of “The Color Purple.”

Robert Zemeckis is reuniting with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright for his new film. In a sign of the times, however, the Forrest Gump director will be utilizing AI technology to de-age the actors.
Zemeckis is adapting Richard McGuire’s graphic novel Here, which follows inhabitants of a single room over the course of several years. In order to make the passing of time as realistic as possible, he’ll be working with the company Metaphysic Live, which famously created those deepfakes of Tom Cruise in 2021.
The technology uses faceswaps and de-aging effects on actors’ live performances to make performers appear completely different — without the help of extra visual effects. Metaphysic co-founder Chris Ume will serve as AI supervisor on the film, while chief innovation officer Jo Plaete will serve as Metaphysic VFX supervisor.

Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, along with additional cast members, will be de-aged for Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming Miramax movie Here, an adaptation of Richard McGuire’s graphic novel that is set in a single room and follows its inhabitants over many years. This will be accomplished using a new generative AI-driven tool dubbed Metaphysic Live.
On Tuesday, artificial intelligence company Metaphysic, run by Tom Graham, revealed that it has entered into a strategic partnership with CAA to develop generative AI tools and services for talent, though details of the agreement were not revealed. In a statement, Joanna Popper, chief metaverse officer at CAA, said the agency looks forward to working with Metaphysic, as its tech “combined with their ethics-first approach and thought leadership” could “unlock an incredible opportunity for the entertainment industry and beyond.”
