Footage of As Deep As the Grave screened in the US, featuring an authorised visual deepfake of the actor who died in 2025
A trailer has been released for the first film to star an authorised generative AI version of a major Hollywood actor.
Val Kilmer was cast in western As Deep As the Grave before his death in April 2025. Production delays meant he never shot any scenes, but the creative team worked with UK-based company Sonantic to create an AI speaking voice based on his old recordings.
