At some point last week, when everyone was discussing just why Nicolas Cage had taken another role in a completely disposable action movie, someone mentioned that Cage is taking roles that Val Kilmer used to do, and is better at. Now Kilmer might have a chance to prove that person right, since he's taking a role in Fake Identity, a thriller that sounds exactly like the kind of thing Cage might jump on board as well.
Variety writes that Kilmer will play an American doctor working in Chechnya, until he helps a woman escape an assailant and his life is turned upside-down. Dennis Dimster-Denk, which sounds like a name out of a Shel Silverstein poem, will direct. Dimster-Denk has previous directed episodes of a TV show I've never heard of, Wicked Wicked Games, which has the tagline "Revenge is a dish best served crazy!" Sounds promising and loony, and maybe Dimster-Denk is just loony enough to help Val Kilmer to best Nic Cage in, uh, acting like Val Kilmer.
