Val Kilmers AI Avatar to Star in As Deep as the Grave - A Catholic Priest and Native American Spiritualists Tale
In a groundbreaking move, an AI version of the late Val Kilmer will take the lead in the film As Deep as the Grave, playing a Catholic priest who is also a Native American spiritualist. The movie, originally titled Canyon of the Dead, has been in postproduction for years and was shot before Kilmers passing from pneumonia in April 2025 at age 65. The film, announced by First Line Films, features Abigail Lawrie, Tom Felton, Wes Studi, and Abigail Breslin alongside the digital Kilmer. Kilmers daughter Mercedes and director Coerte Voorhees have both approved the AI recreation, with Mercedes noting her fathers embrace of new technology for storytelling. This is not Kilmers first digital comeback, as he used AI for his role in Top Gun Maverick in 2022 after losing his natural voice to throat cancer in 2014. The film is set to release later this year, though no exact date has been announced.
