Val Kilmer and Joanna Whaley working together?


Wouldn't have seen that coming. Both must be desperate for work. I thought he found out about while watching CNN while filming The Island of Dr. Moreau.

I thought it was odd, too. Out of all the actresses available to play his wife, they go with Val's ex?? Weird.

reply

I too was shocked by this because I had read they were very unhappy with each other and had a bitter divorce but maybe they made up and are friends now?

reply

I hope so. I'm not sure if they have children together (should have checked before writing this), but it's so hard on kids when exes don't get along.
I still say it was an odd choice; there are so many actresses who could have played that part. Seems like if Brad didn't like her, he has enough pull to tell the powers that be to find another actress.

They're never actually on screen together - maybe they weren't told who was going to be on the other end of the Skype!





Awight we're The Daamned we're a punk baand and this is called Carn't Be Appy T'day!

I'd say they didn't know. They have kids but they really don't get along (he wrote a letter to be read at a screening of Willow where he made a lot of remarks about her). But its perfect casting in a way.

Willow was a long time ago though. Maybe they made up in between. I love the part in the movie where she's nagging him about the money and he comes back with: "People always ask how I know so much about witches. I tell them I married one!" And slams the laptop shut. Loved it!

It was a great in-joke.
