Gene Wilder is being resurrected by AI so that his voice can feature in Netflix's Willy Wonka competition series "The Golden Ticket."
“More than five decades after Gene brought Willy Wonka to life, people of all ages and backgrounds around the world continue to find joy, laughter and inspiration in his performance,” Wilde's wife Karen B. Wilder says. “Gene had a remarkable ability to bring humor, wonder and heart into people’s lives, and that connection has endured for generations. We are delighted that ‘Wonka’s The Golden Ticket’ celebrates the warmth and imagination that he brought to the role, introducing that magic to a new generation while honoring the fans who have cherished it for decades.”

Trump on Monday: “It looks small, but in person it’s very big. It’s the only plane capable of carrying a 200,000-pound bomb.”
A B-2 has a maximum ordinance payload of 40,000 pounds.
The heaviest bomb in America’s arsenal is the “Bunker Buster,” which weighs 30,000 pounds and is 20.5 feet long and 31.5 inches in diameter.
