    This will eventually replace actors.

    It could also create a world where the estates of retired or dead actors are now competing with new actors for roles.

    Reminds me that some day I will be prompting my own Deadwood season four because of those bastards at HBO.

    >The film-maker is working in conjunction with the late actor’s estate and his daughter, Mercedes, to bring Kilmer back to life with state-of-the-art, generative AI. Voorhees says that Kilmer’s son, Jack, an actor who starred alongside Rory Culkin in 2018’s Lord of Chaos, also supports the project.

    Seems like a good experiment and everyone is on board. I’m sure someone will have a problem with it though
