I’ve been a Val Kilmer fan ever since I first saw Top Secret! when I was a little kid (still the very best spoof movie ever made in my humble opinion… with Airplane a close second). And well… are there enough positive words to say about Denzel Washington? The man is an acting god (note the small “g”)… but he still didn’t deserve an Oscar for Training Day… but I digress.
Kilmer vanished from the Hollywood scene for a while amidst rumours that he was moody and hard to work with on sets… but Kiss Kiss Bang Bang seems to have given his career a big boost, and now he’s running with the big dogs again… which is nice to see.
The two talents will be appearing in “Deja Vu” together playing FBI agents. Here’s a quick synopsis from the good folks over at Digital Spy:
The pair, who have not previously worked together, will team up for thriller which centres around the duo, who step back in time to stop a terrorist from blowing up a ferry. Directed by Tony Scott, the film is due to start shooting next month in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Ok, so there’s obviously a sci-fi twist here. And kudos to them for shooting in New Orleans… sure the area could still use the boost.
