Kilmer passed away in 2025 after battling throat cancer. Apparently his character will feature in over an hour of the movie.

So they're just making money over a dead guy's likeness. Business as usual then.

He was going to play the role before he died, and they decided to use AI to recreate his likeness instead of recasting.

So not quite as ghoulish as you might think.

How does that make it not ghoulish?

Not quite as ghoulish. Say 99% as ghoulish.

Exactly. I'm not saying it's fine, just not as terrible as you might originally think.
