Mercedes Kilmer supports the use of AI to recreate her late father's presence in a new film, highlighting the potential for actors to control their digital likenesses. Val Kilmer, who appeared as a priest in 'As Deep as the Grave,' was digitally brought to life with the aid of his estate and AI technology.
Val Kilmer's daughter, Mercedes, has voiced her support for the AI-generated portrayal of her late father in the upcoming indie film, 'As Deep as the Grave.'
The project represents a groundbreaking precedent for actors to own their digital likenesses, she remarked.
