Val Kilmer has arrived in Georgia to portray a journalist covering last year's Georgia - Russia war in a Hollywood film about the conflict, the movie's co-producer said recently.
"He will take part in filming in (the Grorgian city of) Gori and play the role of a journalist who covers last year's war," said co-producer, Papuna Davitaia.
Davitaia refused to provide any further details about the role and said Kilmer would be in Georgian for a week of filming.
Georgian media noted Kilmer's resemblance to a Dutch cameraman, Stan Storimans of the RTL news channel, who was killed during a bombing raid in Gori, and speculated that his character would be based on Storimans. The 24 Saati newspaper ran front-page photos comparing the two men.
Kilmer known for his roles in Top Gun and as singer Jim Morrison in The Doors, is the second Hollywood actor in Georgia this month for the film.
