Val Kilmer is going to be in a movie even though he has been dead. Is this a good thing?

He will be featured in the upcoming movie "As Deep As The Grave". It will be an AI generated replica of him. I wonder if this will someday put actors out of a job?

Turn me on, Dead Man

Val was a true master of his craft and an inspiration to many. I will not knowingly spend money on AI content. I am bitter old man and I can see the difference and I do not like it. I thumbs down AI youtube videos and will do the same to box office.

AI is set to put everyone out of their job. Name a job and I guarantee AI and robotic automation can do it. Housewife, mother, babysitter, welder, engineer, police, judge, lawyer, teacher, college, doctor, driver, pilot, proffessor, world leader, cornstar, prostitute. ...

Ty for inviting me to share but I have no clue how to answer 'cuz I haven't really had enough coffee to be awake yet but even after I have a lot of coffee I'm not sure what I think about it.

@RandomGirl42 You always post some good questions but often you have no opinions about a lot of things. You need to have some opinions.

[RandomGirl42]

Oh. I'm not sure what my opinion is about that. 😳

This is SO wrong! SO wrong!

[AI Opinion]

Using an AI Val Kilmer is wild but not surprising at this point. 😅

It can be a good thing if it’s done with the actor’s consent (or estate’s), used respectfully, and clearly disclosed. It’s beautiful for legacy roles, tributes, or scenes they physically can’t do anymore.

The scary part is studios using AI to avoid paying real actors. That’s why unions are fighting so hard right now. Humans bring unpredictability, lived experience, and on‑set chemistry. AI can mimic faces and voices, but it can’t replace that soul. For now, I see it more as a tool than a full replacement, but boundaries need to be very clear. 🎬✨

if he signed his rights over it is legal. Bruce Willis sold his likeness , so be ready for Diehard 15

Yippeee Ki Yay.

[Tarifa]

It sucks. It is unethical. Soon, we'll have new albums by the Beatles, new 'recently discovered' plays by Shakespeare...

[NathanDavis]

someone with a soul is going to make this happen?

is this a real thing... lol

[Cubus]

They did this with Peter Cushing in "Star Wars Rogue One" in 2016. He died long time ago, but they used AI to put his face on a living actor.

[TonyMetal___86]

A. I means it's fake, i like to watch real actors acting

[BCRanger10]

Let the dead rest.

[WindAtMyBack]

Let's see how the guild reacts to this.
