New York, July 3 (IANS) Actor Val Kilmer has quit his latest film 'Dark Matter' with Meryl Streep because of scheduling conflicts.
According to contactmusic.com, Kilmer's role apparently clashed with his new mini-series 'Comanche Moon' and so he was forced to drop out and the producers have roped in Aidan Quinn for the role.
The film's director, Chen Shi-Zheng, says: 'It is a blessing to have an actor I've admired for a long time, Aidan Quinn, join our production in such an important role.'
Quinn will play a science professor in the film, which focuses on a brilliant Chinese science student who strives to impress his mentor (Quinn) with his theories on the origins of the universe and Streep will play a patron of the university with a passion for Chinese culture.
