Marg Helgenberger Already Working on Next Major Movie

With Mr. Brooks still in the theater, just released actually. Marg Helgenberger is making short time of getting right back onto the silver-screen. This time it’s with Val Kilmer in the movie “Columbus Day”.

“You’re introduced to [Kilmer’s character], and he’s carrying a briefcase full of something or other,” laughed Helgenberger, revealing the “Pulp Fiction”-esque plot device. “You know he just pulled off a heist, but you never find out what’s in the briefcase. He’s just trying to sell it – so he makes a series of phone calls in hopes to sell whatever is in the briefcase.” But it wouldn’t be a true heist flick, she acknowledged, unless there was a fly in the ointment. “While he’s waiting to set up this deal, there’s a young boy at the park where he’s waiting for this all to transpire; this boy and he develop a friendship, and through that relationship he realizes who the important people in his life are.”

and Marg’s character detail snippet include:

Helgenberger added that although much of her performance is delivered “Phone Booth”-style, the allure of the “Real Genius” heartthrob is too much for any woman to resist. “He wants to reunite with his ex-wife and our daughter. Most of my scenes with him are over the phone, in which he contacts me and is essentially trying to woo me back into his life,” she added. “Eventually I succumb, because he’s kind of a poetic type, and I come and pick him up.”

The plot of the movie isn’t intriguing me too much, but I love Val Kilmer and Kevin Spacey is the producer on the film. Two greats in Hollywood working together, along side the ever endearing Marg Helgenberger may be too much to resist at the box office.
