Val Kilmer is returning to the screen a year after his death through an AI‑generated performance in a new film. Originally cast years earlier but unable to shoot due to illness, his role has been digitally reconstructed using generative AI trained on archival footage and recordings. With approval from his estate, the project blends tribute with innovation, offering audiences a chance to see a performance he never completed in life. At the same time, it highlights the growing debate in Hollywood over consent, compensation, and creative ownership as AI technology reshapes how actors’ legacies can be extended beyond their lifetimes.
