Val Kilmer Talks 'Top Gun' & 'Heat' Sequel Ideas: 'Tombstone' Star Sings ‘It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)’ for Bob Dylan as Doc Holiday

Val Kilmer recently sat down with Larry King for an interview on "Larry King Now' and had the opportunity to talk about a new sequel project that has been rumored for quite some time now. The Batman Forever actor discussed the possibility of returning as "Ice Man" in Top Gun 2 opposite Tom Cruise. He also mentioned his own ideas for the sequel to Heat as well!

After acknowledging that Don Simpson (Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer's longtime producing partner) has died since Top Gun came out, Kilmer said that a sequel could still work despite the loss.

"I think it wouldn't be that difficult to maintain the spirit of it," he said.

"Tony was the most generous, positive director I've ever worked for in film," Kilmer recalled. "He's not known as an actor's director because he's such a vivid stylist with the camera, but he really loved acting and getting the shot."

Val also told King about his ideas for a sequel idea he has about another classic film he was in: Heat. The 1990s heist movie starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro might not need a sequel, but Kilmer has his own ideas for it.

"Here's my pitch," Kilmer said. "You remember Natalie Portman in it? She's Pacino's adopted daughter, so she comes home and says, 'Daddy, daddy, I want you to meet my fiancé.' And it's me. He's retired and I come to Chicago where he's retired back to and I'm going to torture him, and then I'm going to kill him."

Kilmer seems to like to relive his past roles. In fact, he recently reprised his infamous Doc Hiliday character from the film Tombstone for a big fan of the movie: Bob Dylan.

During a recent guest spot on KCRW, Kilmer told the following story about Dylan to the radio listeners:

"I found out [Bob Dylan] was in New York so I called my friend and I said, 'You know, I'd love to meet him, is there any chance?' and he says, 'I don't know, I'll find out.' And the next call I got I thought was going to be my friend, but it wasn't, it was Bob.

"I was real excited, like a crazy fan, like a child; it was so great... It was like, 'You want to come over?' and he was like, 'Yeah'... I was newly married and we had a baby and I went in and said, 'I think Bob Dylan's coming over!'

"He shows up and sits down and he wants to talk about Tombstone, but I just can't, you know, nor can I talk about any of his stuff. Eventually he says, 'Ain't you going to say anything about that movie?'

"Basically, I said no. I get like that sometimes. So I turned him down and, I thought, no one turns this guy down. Anyway, I felt like an idiot afterwards... I could have said a few lines. They're fun lines, too. People still ask me to say lines (from the film) and now I'll tell any schmo in the airport... but I wouldn't say it to Bob Dylan!

"I felt so bad about it. I was like how could I make it up to him? So what I did was, I recorded 'It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)' but as Doc Holliday, and I put in all of the big lines from the movie into the song and made him a little tape."
