Prepare for a freezing dose of Val Kilmer, as the artist formerly known as ‘Iceman’ is heading to the arctic for sci-fi thriller The Thaw.

Story will apparently revolve around an expedition that uncovers a prehistoric parasite capable of destroying mankind.

The Top Gun star will head up the team charged with the task of saving the planet, while Superbad’s Martha MacIsaac will tag along for the ride as his daughter.

Looking trim: Val Kilmer.
According to Screen Daily, Vantage Pictures is introducing the film to buyers in Cannes today, with Mark A. Lewis set to direct.
