Val Kilmer


Did Kilmer lose weight for his reappearance?

Or did they work the weight gain into the role?

reply

What role? I think he is only in it as a photo.

reply

Oh. I thought he had an acting role.

I do plan to see the movie … despite hating Cruise and not wanting to do anything to help him out.

reply

He's in the film proper. Good little cameo.

reply

I think there was some photoshop touch up on his picture. He in no way looks like that in real life. It seems they kept the best parts of him as if he were Tom Cruise.

reply

I read he comes to Tom in in a dream like Babe Ruth came to Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez in The Sandlot.

reply

They do their ‘bullshit, you could be mine’ hug and this time Ice disappears in a ghostly puff as Maverick embraces him.

reply

And then you hear faintly in the distance "I'm your huckleberry".

reply

lol

reply

I don't know, but I strongly suspect that the funeral you see Maverick attending in the movie trailer is Iceman's. They said Kilmer is in the movie, and Tom Cruise lobbied hard to get him in. I think it highly likely he is seen earlier in the picture as terminally ill, and subsequently dies.

reply

yep, I'm pretty sure there will be a "last visit", probably on his deathbed..buutttt, since we are all so wussified in today's world, it might not be in a hospital with a bunch of tubes sticking out..might be at Iceman's house, one final talk for old times sake in his man cave. One thing for sure, it will be short and sappy.

He has a small speaking role, it is nicely woven into the story.

thanks

He could be like Porkins in Star Wars.
