Back from beyond: Val Kilmer returns to the screen with AI for the film As Deep as the Grave
As the world walks deeper into the ever-growing technological path, it often serves as the boon that it truly is. With the help of the AI, actors have been resurrected quite effectively over the years and one such recent case is with Val Kilmer.
The actor who has been attached to the role prior to his passing, has left a significant mark on the storyline. Resurrection was the only choice in order to give the story the real push. The late actor would play the role of Father Fintan, a Native American spiritualist and Catholic priest.
Director and writer Coerte Voorhees talking about the actor during an interview said, “He was the actor I wanted to play this role. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the south-west.” Unfortunately due to his ongoing battle with throat cancer he couldn’t finish what he started.
