Quietly released in 2009, suspense thriller The Steam Experiment may be Val Kilmer's strangest film yet. Ryan takes a closer look...
In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Val Kilmer's played Jim Morrison, Doc Holliday, Simon Templar and Batman. He was Iceman in Top Gun. He was Moses in The Prince Of Egypt, Elvis in True Romance, and the voice of Kitt in the 2008 Knightrider TV movie.
Val Kilmer's well known for these roles and many, many more - but one that somehow flew under our radar until now was that of mad global warming doomsday theorist James Pettis in the 2009 film, The Steam Experiment.

Game Of Death
Stars: Wesley Snipes, Zoe Bell, Robert Davi, Gary Daniels | Written by Jim Agnew & Megan Brown | Directed by Giorgio Serafini
What happened to Wesley Snipes? Once one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood and heading up the hugely popular Blade movies, it seems his star was extinguished the day he was arrested for tax fraud and Snipes now has to work his way back into the graces of one of the most infamously cutthroat industries on the planet.
Which is why Game of Death happened. The film sees CIA assassin Marcus (Snipes) sent opn a mission to take out an arms dealer (Robert Davi as the lazily named Smith) only to have his back up (among them Zoe Bell of Death Proof fame) turn on him.
You’d think with such a generic actioner plot that the filmmakers were simply looking for a script they could hang...

It may be an action film, although given genre badass and babe Zoe (Death Proof, Bitch Slap, Angel of Death) Bell’s inclusion, we thought we’d clue you in on her latest feature, director Giorgio Serafini’s upcoming Game of Death. Starring opposite Wesley (Blade) Snipes, Bell chatted with Dread recently regarding her turn in the Detroit-lensed film, which at present is wanting of a release date.
“It was a really interesting experience,” said the New Zealander, who in the past has employed her physical prowess as Uma Thurman’s stunt double in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films as well as Lucy Lawless' for the "Xena: Warrior Princess" television series. “There were a lot of obstacles during production. We ended up shooting the whole movie in fifteen days and the script changed a bunch of times. There wasn’t the luxury of rehearsals, but I learned a...

How far Jesse Metcalfe's C.J. Nichols would go to expose a corrupt district attorney is previewed through "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" trailer. Courtesy of Apple, the newly-released video footage takes a close look at the major characters, including Michael Douglas' Mark Hunter and Amber Tamblyn's Ella Crystal.
The trailer begins with a courtroom scene where investigative journalist Nichols is being asked whether he killed a woman. As the trailer continues, it is unraveled that Nichols frames himself for murder in order to get into the court system and expose the corrupt district attorney Hunter. Little that he knows, his plans will go horribly wrong. In the meanwhile, assistant D.A. Crystal is caught between Hunter's political ambitions and Nichols' risky game.
A remake to Fritz Lang-directed 1956 film noir, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" is penned and directed by Peter Hyams. Aside from Jesse Metcalfe, Michael Douglas and Amber Tamblyn,...

Two and a half hours west of Detroit sits the city of Grand Rapids—an unspectacular Midwestern location, but the one where director Philippe Martinez has opted to shoot The Chaos Experiment (a.k.a. The Steam Experiment, the title under which it will be released internationally). With a cast that features such names as Val Kilmer, Armand Assante, Eric Roberts and Patrick Muldoon, along with Quinn Duffy and sexy actresses Eve Mauro, Megan Brown and Cordelia Reynolds, it’s unsurprising that, as Fango arrives on set at 9:00 on a cold Wednesday evening, an excited crowd is gathered behind mildly perturbed-looking security guards, eager to catch a glimpse at the sort of movie stars that rarely set foot in their hometown.
Fango is led to the set where an uneventful bar scene featuring Assante and Martinez’s daughter (making a cameo as a barmaid—the director, whose sister Karinne...

Fango got the word that the Philippe Martinez-directed psychothriller originally titled The Steam Experiment has now been retitled The Chaos Experiment for U.S. release. We also got ahold of some new exclusive photos from the movie, which you can see below.
Scripted by Robert Malkani, the movie stars Val Kilmer as former professor James Pettis, who attempts to prove his theories about the dangers of global warming in the most extreme way possible: He kidnaps six people and traps them in a Turkish bath to prove that the oppressive heat will cause them to break down mentally. His victims are played by Eric Roberts, Megan Brown, Patrick Muldoon, Eve Mauro, Quinn Duffy and Cordelia Reynolds; Armand Assante also stars as the detective interrogating Pettis, who will only disclose his captives’ location if his beliefs are printed as a front-page newspaper story.

Eve Mauro's hot, steaming hot, apparently, in this new photo set from the upcoming thriller The Steam Experiment . She's just one of a number of hostages caught in a university professor's experiment that tries to prove that humans will devolve into chaos under the pressures of global warming. Armand Assante, Eric Roberts, Megan Brown and Patrick Muldoon are also caught up in the heated game put on by Val Kilmer (as the professor). Mauro talked to us in-depth about the project last September while she was on set, for more on that click here . Genius Products picked up the film for distribution recently. We're awaiting word on a release date.

I don't know if this is old or what, but I haven't seen it before so here is a picture of Brad Pitt kissing Megan Brown in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. In the movie, Pitt plays a dude who ages in reverse. David Fincher (Fight Club) directs. At this point, I'm basically ready to picket for this movie to win every Oscar at the ceremony. Even those science and technology ones that no one really cares about. I want this movie to take everything. I mean, I literally want when the last...
