Career
Hot on the heels of Wargames 2, Val Kilmer has come out and said he’d love to do a sequel to Real Genius, because he’d really like to do more comedy. I love Real Genius, it’s a great, under-appreciated and often forgotten teen-comedy and one of Kilmer’s best moments. Hopefully it’s his fantastic performance in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang that’s reminded him how much fun doing a comedy can be and that he’s serious about returning to the genre again. He really is a great comic actor who for some reason decided that starring in a bunch of dodgy dramas and a bad Batman movie was much better for his career.
Probably not a good idea to do a Real Genius 2 however, that’s got disaster written all over it.
