Kaylee Hottle’s Sister to Complete Her Final Film Role
Jasmine Hottle will complete her sister Kaylee’s final film role in the superhero movie What Doesn't Kill Us.
Kaylee, an 18-year-old actor known for the Godzilla films, died in a car accident in Maryland in July.
The filmmakers said Jasmine’s involvement is a way to honor Kaylee and continue the work she had planned to do.
Both sisters are deaf, and the filmmakers say they want authentic disability representation in the film.
The story follows friends who use their disabilities as they pursue their dream of becoming superheroes.
The film aims to show disability as part of what makes its characters extraordinary, rather than something to erase or overcome.
What Doesn't Kill Us is forthcoming, and Jasmine’s casting will allow the production to continue Kaylee’s role.
