This is the image that the WordPress AI generated when I asked it to create a photo of Val Kilmer in the AI-generated rolin the new film "As Deep as the Grave," formerly known as "Canyon Del Mu**to" or "Canyon of the Dead.” At first the image closely resembled Kilmer, but became a bit more Tom Cruise-y with a touch Ethan Hawke as I changed the prompt. Kilmer's likeness is used in the role of Father Fintan. After adding that the film took place in the 1920s Southwest, US, the traditional priest's collar and cloak were replaced with western gear, less facial hair, a tougher expression, sun-exposed skin and a cowboy hat. His collar was replaced by a scarf. The background now shows his posse riding along with him. He also developed a stubborn stare and lines on his forehead. The photographic Val Kilmer was more interesting and had more distinct characteristics than the cinematic version. I wish I stopped at the first one, which looked a lok like the real Kilmer.
Continuing work on the image showed different results like the image below. I’ll share further changes with you in the magazine, in addition to the original story.
Val Kilmer's Digital Resurrection: AI in Filmmaking - Core Magazines Archival footage and past performances by Val Kilmer have been assembled to recreate his likeness for a role in "As Deep as the Grave." He has, in a sense, been brought back to the screen — not resurrected, but digitally reconstructed using artificial intelligence or AI for the role.

Geo-diverse, hyper-local expression. / Local culture from around the world.
Core Magazines is an online publication that explores the realm of culture in all its forms – pop, counter, social, ethnic culture - from cars to conformity, hip-hop to homogeneity, literary ideas to gender pronouns, breaking down barriers to building self-esteem and celebrating the people who make a difference. The voices and content expressed in the magazine are geographically and culturally diverse, intensely local and very poignant. They are the voices of youth, of resilience, of fearlessness and of experience.
Core Magazines examines social conventions, beliefs and mores from around the world - our differences and our similarities - with a focus on living culture. How do our actions today affect the future? How are we different from the generation that came before us? Does one group’s behaviour define us all? What part of current culture deserves to be shared with the next generation? Why does your story need to be heard? Can one voice change the world? What does the iGeneration need to know?
