ALT The applicable SAG-AFTRA collective bargaining agreement, as well as state law, requires consent from the estate to use a digital replica of a deceased performer in a motion picture. We understand from reporting on the A.I. digital replica of Val Kilmer for the upcoming film “As Deep as the Grave,” that the family's consent was obtained. We take these obligations seriously and will continue to enforce strict compliance with both contractual requirements and legal standards. Any use of digital replicas must be transparent, properly authorized and fully aligned with the rights of performers and their estates.
