A Hershey\u2019s billboard across from the Bates Motel. A Tide box in Mortimer Brewster\u2019s house or a Peter Pan Peanut Butter jar in Roger Thornhill\u2019s. Could classic movies one day become an outlet for product placement?<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-56758376\">BBC, <\/a>the advancement of digital technology has enabled advertisers to insert products into classic movies using CGI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile previously the product had to actually, physically be there when the shots were filmed, the advertising industry is now turning to technology that can seamlessly insert computer-generated images,\u201d reported the outlet.\u00a0 \u201cSo items can be digitally added to almost any movie or TV show. For example, advertisers could put new labels on the champagne bottles in Rick\u2019s Cafe in Casablanca, add different background neon advertising signs to Ocean\u2019s 11, or get Charlie Chaplin to promote a fizzy drink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the firms that has developed the ability to do this is UK advertising business Mirriad. Its technology is now being used by a Chinese video streaming website, and the makers of hit US TV show Modern Family have also tried it out,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p>Stephan Beringer, Mirriad\u2019s chief executive, expects this new form of product placement to be a widespread phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started out working in movies. Our chief scientist Philip McLauchlan, with his team, came up with the technology that won an Academy Award for the film, \u2018Black Swan,&#8217;\u201d said Beringer.\u00a0\u201cThe technology can \u2018read\u2019 an image, it understands the depth, the motion, the fabric, anything. So you can introduce new images that basically the human eye does not realize has been done after the fact, after the production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musicians have also expressed interest in adding product placement to their past music videos. \u201cThe opportunity to carve open a new revenue stream is rare, and the ability to retrospectively use existing content and build new content with it in mind is exciting,\u201d said James Sarandon, managing director of U.K.-based Red Light Management.<\/p>\n<p>Given the advancements in personalized advertising based on algorithms and an individual\u2019s personal tastes, this potential product placement may actually change depending on the type of person watching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you like wine then the hero of a film could be drinking a particular bottle that you might be tempted to try. Or if you are teetotal the star might be sipping on a bottle of branded water,\u201d said the BBC. \u201cIt works in the same way that online adverts pop up on websites based on your past purchasing or viewing history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ethical concerns of tinkering with past works of art using modern, digital means has become a topic of serious debate in recent years. While product placement in classic movies may be little more than an annoyance to film purists, other cases have raised more than a few eyebrows, such as when Magic City Films <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2019\/11\/james-dean-resurrected-cgi-finding-jack-1202187671\/\">announced<\/a> that it would be resurrecting long-deceased actor James Dean for a Vietnam-era war film.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
