The late Val Kilmer will be resurrected via AI for an upcoming indie movie, “As Deep as the Grave,” with the approval of his family.

Kilmer, who passed away in 2021, was cast in the film but was unable to film his scenes due to illness.

The decision to use AI technology to include Kilmer in the movie was supported by his estate and daughter Mercedes, who highlighted his optimism towards emerging technologies.

This move follows a trend in the industry of using AI to bring back deceased actors, sparking debates about the ethics of using their likeness in films.
