Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr on "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"

Thursday October 20, 2005
"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" - The Story: Robert Downey Jr stars as Harry Lockhart, a petty thief who is mistaken for a would-be actor when he accidently stumbles into an audition for a part in a detective movie. When the producer likes what he sees, Harry is flown out to LA for a screen test.

Val Kilmer co-stars as Gay Perry, a gay detective (hmmm, bet you could have figured part of that out for yourself) who is hired to teach Harry how to act like a real detective. After the two cross paths with Harmony Faith Lane (Michelle Monaghan), they become entangled in a real-life murder mystery.

Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr talk about the movie "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," teaming up for the film, working with writer/director Shane Black, and the appeal of the "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" script at the film's Hollywood Premiere to kick off the Hollywood Film Festival.

    Interview with Michelle Monaghan
    Even though she's only been on the scene for a short while, Michelle Monaghan's already compiling a pretty impressive resume. After making her film debut in "Perfume," Monaghan went on to roles in "Unfaithful," "It Runs in the Family," and "Winter Solstice." She was recently seen in the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie film "Mr and Mrs Smith," and also has a supporting role in director Niki Caro's "North Country" starring Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand.

    I caught up with the busy actress at the Hollywood Premiere of "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and got a chance to find out about playing the sexy love interest in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," what it was like working with Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr, and what grabbed her about this particular script:
