First Look At Val Kilmer In AI-Generated Movie Role Created After His Death

Val Kilmer fans will get to see the beloved late actor in a new film one year after his passing from throat cancer. Val had been cast in the film “As Deep as the Grave” but was too sick to shoot, so AI technology was used to create his performance. Val’s role in the film was generated from home movies and photos the Kilmer family gave filmmakers permission to use. His daughter Mercedes tells Access Hollywood that her dad “always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling,” noting the new film is a way to honor that.
