Val Kilmer Replaces De Niro In New Orleans?

News

The upcoming New Orleans (aka: Microwave Park) has swapped one Heat star for another. According to Val Kilmer’s Official Website, he is the new star of the show. Robert De Niro, originally attached, may be out.

Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson remains attached to the project.

The film, directed by Charles Winkler, centers on a cop who thinks his partner has died in Hurricane Katrina, only to discover that he was shot to death. When he gets a new partner, the pair investigates the murder, taking them on a journey into a world of police corruption.

Kilmer says on his site, “I play a burly rough but loyal cop. 50 is my partner….”

Ironically, Kilmer is slated to follow New Orleans with the Robert De Niro exec produced dramedy 20% Fiction.
