Val Kilmer AI Replica Debuts

The film marks a significant milestone in the ethical use of AI to recreate the performances of deceased actors.

Kilmer's children and SAG-AFTRA were reportedly involved in the process to ensure the replica was used respectfully and that the estate was fairly compensated.

The trailer, which debuted at CinemaCon, shows Kilmer in a prominent role as a priest, appearing at various ages throughout the story.

While the technology has drawn some criticism for its potential to replace human actors, the filmmakers argue it allows for a unique tribute to the legendary star.
