I'm imagining the value for making actual theatre movies will be a bigger issue. You can have Humphrey Bogart in a science fiction thriller! We'll have to come up with new rules.

Hey, this could actually be awesome. Everybody could make their own preferred version of the movie. Movie studios could get away with legal problems just by releasing videos without the faces, and letting the audience download faces through gray market channels.

We've already seen this with images and Photoshop. Society and their heuristics of belief will adjust as these new capabilities become widespread. What's more troubling is that as media becomes falsifiable, solid evidence of...well, anything, becomes hard to have. The ultimate loser there is the truth, sadly.
Indeed. The worst use of this will be forged political speeches. What happens when you can fake any video of anyone saying anything and then feed it to the social media outrage machine?
Contrary to the article's stance that this would be used to create fake revenge porn or celebrity sex tapes that are taken as real, I'd expect this to devalue the real thing and give space for people to claim anything with their face in it is fake.

Just take the massive global interest in fact checking sites after the 2016 US election. It seems as a strong trend in competing with media for carrying the banner for truth, and the best part is that many such sites seems to have a non-partisan policy in stark contrast to most media out there. The loser don't seem to be the truth, but rather those who wish to use a few seconds of video with no context to push a point.

Its really not so different than it was prior to the advent of radio. By the time news reached you about what some politician said it had gone through multiple people and could be altered in any number of ways. Sometimes intentionally and sometimes through misunderstanding.
So, soon men will start editing themselves into videos as the male actor, for private use.

Adam Sandler!
Enough people are deceived by photoshopped pictures. Fake video will deceive a whole lot more.
