The AI program, which would be voiced by an actor, would then respond to questions from Bridges as they filmed.<\/p>\n<p>While Disney originally considered this option, the report mentions that negotiations with unions representing writers and actors were happening at the same time, and Disney ended up scrapping the idea.
