Val Kilmer is going to jail. No, not the jail. The actor isn’t sauntering into San Quentin in an attempt to make someone his bitch. He is however, in talks to star in a new film entitled Felon, which would see the aging actor play a prisoner incarcerated for killing an intruder who broke into his home. It’s kind of like American History X with less racism and more curb stomping. Maybe. Most people seem to think that pumping a burglar full of steel is legitimate, and while self-defense does work in some cases, if you use excessive or unnecessary force, you can end up in jail. Write your congressman. I didn’t make the laws.

According to our friends over at Moviehole, Sam Shepard, Anne Archer, Stephen Dorf, and one of the guys from Lost are all in simultaneous talks to appear alongside the noted eccentric. If all goes according to plan (hint: it never does), the picture will begin shooting on October 2nd and likely be finished by Mid Novemeber. Let’s hope this one turns out a little more like Escape From Alcatraz and a little less like Let’s Go To Prison.
