Val Kilmer's AI Performance Debuts

Kilmer, who died last year, appears in the film as Father Fintan, a Catholic priest and spiritualist.

The AI-rendered performance took only seven minutes to create for certain scenes, showcasing the rapid advancement of digital recreation technology.

While the film's producer acknowledged the ethical risks of using AI actors based on real people, the project was completed with the support of Kilmer's daughter.

The trailer's debut at CinemaCon has sparked a wider conversation about the future of acting and the use of deceased stars in new productions.
