The late actor will play Father Fintan, a Native American spiritualist and Catholic priest.

So... they can digitally generate anything they can imagine, and they chose to generate a pasty white guy.

I don't doubt Kilmer's devotion to Native American rights, I'll take his nebulous claim of Cherokee heritage at face value.

But this would have been a great opportunity to hire an actual Native American human being to play the role. If Kilmer were alive to play the role, he'd have had to do it in heavy makeup and a wig, because his ancestry is mostly Northern European.

The film is about two white Americans (be played by British actors, of course) working on Navajo lands. Will there be any actual Native Americans in the film?

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
