Val Kilmer Passed on 'Hardcore Pornography' of Blue Velvet

Another fun Movieline Vault discovery: While discussing Batman Forever in 1995, Val Kilmer confessed he missed the boat on David Lynch's Blue Velvet. " 'I was given [a copy of that script] because [at one point] I was involved with Dune,' he recalls. 'It would have been my first job for damn near a year. So, Dave gave me the script and it was straight-out, hardcore pornography before page 30. I never finished it. I said, "Good luck, but I can't do this." It isn't what he ended up making,' he says, pointedly. 'That movie, I would have done.'" Of course. [The Vault]
