As we exclusively revealed here on Flickering Myth back in February, the late Val Kilmer has been recreated by AI for a “role” in As Deep as the Grave (formerly titled Canyon of the Dead), an action-adventure film from director Coerte Voorhees (The First Line).
Kilmer had been attached to the film, based on the true story of archaeologists Ann and Earl Morris, for several years prior to his passing, and his inclusion is said to come with the blessing of his family.
Joining the AI Kilmer in the cast of the film are Abigail Lawrie, Tom Felton, Abigail Breslin, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Ewen Bremner, Wes Studi, Finn Jones, and Bronson Webb. Watch the trailer below…
The true story of Southwestern archaeologists Ann and Earl Morris, chronicling their excavations in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona in their effort to trace the history of the Navajo people. Two archaeologists seek out the Canyon of the Dead and the dead find them.
As Deep As the Grave is coming soon.
