Renny Harlin Director, Georgia and Mindhunters

"I love working with my friends like Samuel Jackson and Val Kilmer, and other people I know and have worked with before, but it’s not always feasible. It helps tremendously when you put a movie together that there is chemistry between the cast and crew, and between crew and cast, and most importantly trust. When it’s someone you have worked with before, that trust is already there. We know our weaknesses and our strengths and we can concentrate on other important aspects of the work. It’s no secret others think Val Kilmer is difficult to work with, but he is not with me. We have the trust and a common goal and we get on with the job."

"Val is one of those rare actors who drove himself to the set and always got there on time. A real pleasure to work with."

Producer, The Saint

"Val and I met for the first time on our lot in London. I've worked with great actors before and I was aware of Val's reputation, so I asked him, how does he see making this move. He said to me, 'I do a lot of movies where they won't listen to my suggestions.' I said that we will listen and he said, "That's all I want.' So he suggested how to create all these characters that Templar uses in the film. They were not on the page, they were just scenes dealing with a man in disguise, but what that disguise was going to be, the particular accent and attitude along with body language, it was all coming from Val."
