Val Kilmer
Time to break out that stock photo of young Val Kilmer again. It's not our fault, as the actor is keeping busy. After joining one thriller at the beginning of the week, Kilmer has joined the cast of yet another thriller.
Val Kilmer and Company Join The Steam Experiment
Val Kilmer, Armand Assante, Eric Roberts, Megan Brown and Patrick Muldoon have been cast for the indie suspense thriller The Steam Experiment.
The film will revolve around six people trapped and terrorized in an urban Turkish bathhouse.
Kilmer plays a former university professor who overheats his hostages to prove that humans will devolve into chaos under the pressures of global warming. He tells a detective (Assante) that their location will be revealed if his hypothesis is printed as the local paper's front-page headline.
The six potential victims are a former pro football player (Roberts), a former actress (Brown), a nurse (Muldoon), a waitress (Eve Mauro), a restaurateur (Quinn Duffy) and a writer (Cordelia Reynolds). As temperatures rise, the desperate detainees fight for survival.
Philippe Martinez will direct The Steam Experiment off a script by Rob Malkani. The film recently began principal photography.
Martinez already knows how he wants to approach the project.
"It will be an interesting journey into the darkness of human nature when confronted with a crisis situation."
