Episode Details

Val Kilmer, known for his roles in Top Gun and Heat, is set to appear in the upcoming film As Deep as the Grave using AI technology for his likeness and voice. The role of Father Fintan was originally intended for Kilmer, but due to his health issues, director Coerte Voorhees turned to AI to complete the project. Kilmers family fully supported the idea, and his estate was paid according to SAG rules. The film explores archaeologists tracing Navajo Nation history, reflecting Kilmers own Native American roots and love for the Southwest. This is not Kilmers first AI gig, as he used a digital voice in Top Gun Maverick. The use of AI in this film showcases how technology can keep legends alive on screen, blending heart with innovation.
