Director Slams Val Kilmer: 'Worst I've Known'
1 Jun
Summary
- Conspiracy director Adam Marcus called Val Kilmer the worst human he's known.
- Kilmer previously faced criticism from directors Joel Schumacher and John Frankenheimer.
- Kilmer addressed past workplace criticisms in a 2021 documentary.
Director Adam Marcus recently described actor Val Kilmer as the "worst human being" he has ever known. Marcus, who directed Kilmer in the 2008 film Conspiracy, shared his strong negative sentiments on social media. He asserted that if Kilmer behaved similarly on set today, he would face immediate cancellation.
This is not the first time Kilmer has been criticized for his on-set behavior. Joel Schumacher, who directed Batman Forever, called him "childish and impossible." John Frankenheimer, director of The Island of Dr. Moreau, stated he would not work with Kilmer again.
Kilmer addressed these past controversies in a 2003 Rolling Stone interview, suggesting Frankenheimer had a history of meanness. He also defended himself against Schumacher's comments, questioning the director's own abilities. In the 2021 documentary Val, Kilmer reflected on his career, admitting to behaving "poorly," "bravely," and "bizarrely" at times, but stated he had no regrets.
