HuffPost
“It’s a story about my life that is also not my life,” the "Top Gun: Maverick" actor said in the first trailer for "Val." The film is due out July 23.
With his Hollywood profile once again on the rise, Val Kilmer is set to offer a candid take on his storied career and his physical health in a new documentary. Amazon Prime on Tuesday unveiled the first trailer for “Val,” due to premiere this week at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. The documentary comprises some 40 years’ worth of archival footage to take viewers behind the scenes of Kilmer’s films, including “The Doors,” “Tombstone” and “Batman Forever.” Movie buffs will undoubtedly appreciate the vintage shots of both the actor and his famous pals, including Kevin Bacon and Sean Penn. Directed by Leo Scott and Ting Poo, “Val” doesn’t shy away from the health struggles that prompted Kilmer, now 61, to retreat from the spotlight in recent years. He first went public about his diagnosis with throat cancer in 2017, telling The Hollywood Reporter he’d been living with the disease for two years at the time.More Related News
