For those who didn't read: Val himself had already signed up for this movie and it apparently meant a lot to him to star in it. The producers contacted his family to discuss the matter, and they consented to the idea.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So. Fairly shallow then?
its going to be same for fast and furious
I really liked his portrayal of Jim Morrison.
It’s coming for their pop culture, one of the few things that sets them apart from the rest.
Fuck them. Val was a treasure, don’t besmirch him with this capitalist bullshit!
Fuck this movie, whatever it is, I’ll rather rewatch The Salton Sea, instead.
Also, watch The Salton Sea, it’s so under appreciated.
The more we participate in it, the more slop they create.
This is a NO from me.
Remember that hate watching, even hate pirating, is watching.
Holy clickbait title, Batman.
This is no more a "resurrection" than drawing a picture of someone is.
It definitely is. It's not resurrecting, obviously. But it's definitely weird and a lot more something than drawing a picture. I'm not against it or for it, but it's definitely a new idea that I'm not 100% behind. They should definitely try it and see how it feels. But even now, thinking about it, something about it feels really wrong that I just can't quite put my finger on...
