Wildwood redubbing with professional voice actors, Digi Mart USA News: A Milenio opinion column by Susana Moscatel welcomes the appreciation of handmade cinema among younger audiences, citing Wildwood. El bosque salvaje as possibly marking a turning point in a trend where art, care and craft are celebrated more than ever amid the spread of artificial intelligence.
The column contrasts this with the culture of TikTok videos, immediacy and fame measured in followers, which it describes as one of the most representative features of the era being left behind. The author notes that complaints are not new when celebrity talent is hired over professional dubbing actors in order to capitalize on social media numbers, with the expectation that those followers will translate into box office sales.
According to the column, that was not the case here, and the criticism is not directed against anyone who appeared in the first Spanish-language dubbing. Rather, it argues that fans know who can do what, recognize good and bad work, and can use the same platforms that made many influencers public figures to voice a complaint strong enough to change the course of the story.
The column reports that a statement about a “redubbing” was released, which had already been rumored. It says the new version, made with dubbing professionals, is expected to reach theaters the following day.
The author stresses that dubbing is a profession that requires specialization.
The column describes the sequence as following a wait of 15 years for the film to arrive, and then no more than two weeks for the voices of fans and the new cast to be heard. It adds that the matter is not about hostile attacks but about loving what moves us and defending it with our voices and signatures.
