VAL KILMER AS JOSEPH SMITH?

Afraid not, but he was in negotiations for the role:
Looks like Val Kilmer won’t become the poster boy for the Mormon Church. The temperamental actor, who recently played porn king John Holmes in “Wonderland,” was deep in negotiations to play Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a pro-Mormon movie.

Now that might have been interesting. I guess they'll have to opt for Donnie Osmond instead.

By the way, since Hollywood is interested in religious movies these days, why not one on Smith and the Mormons not done by Salt Lake City? You'd have it all: corruption, sex and violence.
