## Summary

Jasmine Hottle will take over the role intended for her late sister, Kaylee, in the film *What Doesn’t Kill Us*. The decision, confirmed by writer and producer Andy Mingo, is intended to honour Kaylee’s memory and allow the project to continue.

The film explores how traits society views as limitations can be strengths, and focuses on identity, resilience and heroism. Its cast is made up entirely of actors with disabilities, including deaf actress Alaqua Cox and Maddie Haining. Kaylee, who was deaf, played Jia in two *Godzilla* films and died in a car crash in July at 18.
