Wearing a shaggy beard, Val Kilmer had guts showing up in public looking like he did as he hit the red carpet for the gala closing ceremonies of the Bangkok Int'l Film Festival.
His new movie, Spartan, was the official closing film. It's a crime story by David Mamet. Should be good. I hope it's on wide release. As it was the "official closing film" normal (read non-wealthy, non-celebrity) film fans like myself could not get within several hundred yards of the theater.
I do know that his Wonderland inexplicably opened on wide release here a couple of months ago. It played for a week in dozens of theatres and then vanished. I managed to catch it at an odd showtime in an odd theatre and felt pretty good for doing so, even though it's an extremely violent, depressing movie. Good one, Val. A great followup to Salton Sea, which I also liked.
Kilmer is apparently here in Thailand working on Oliver Stone's Alexander the Great, which stars Colin Farrell. Angelina Jolie is also in the cast.
Haven't seen badboy Colin around.
Oliver was at the film fest, though, accepting a Golden Kinaree for lifetime achievement.
Other Golden Kinarees are chronicled in this Nation story.
