So what can audiences do to keep As Deep as the Grave from succeeding? As someone determined to keep cinemas alive and well, I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but please, boycott this film! Don’t see this movie in theaters or watch it on digital or streaming platforms. Audiences have the power to reject this film entirely. If As Deep as the Grave is only remembered as a complete and utter disaster, it could prevent the use of AI-generated performances of well-known actors from becoming standard industry practice.
As for Kilmer, we need to separate his legacy from this project. Even if Voorhees earned the approval of his family, we cannot know how Kilmer himself would react if he were fully aware of this discourse. In fact, when this movie is finally released, audiences should instead stay home and watch some of Kilmer’s great performances (personally, I’d start with The Doors). This was an actor whose work reflects the pursuit of human excellence in his field. We can’t let him be remembered for a failed AI experiment.
