Rodger Jacobs posts on http://8763wonderland.com/: A collection of retouched on-set photographs from the film “Wonderland” are available to the public for the first time at actor Val Kilmer’s website. The beautifully-done 16×24 full color prints retail for $40.00 apiece (plus shipping and handling). My personal favorite, of course, is the Ralph Steadman-esque piece titled “8763 Wonderland”.
Aside from Kilmer’s art prints, the new addition to the actor’s personal website include Behind the Scenes footage from “Wonderland”, a nice “Wonderland desktop image (800×600) and on and off site links to learn more about the movie and the murders.
Here’s what Val has to say about the film:
“The film Wonderland acts as a party crasher upon one week in the summer of ’81 when a series of events converged to destroy the lives of four people in the Hollywood Hills. And for the man responsible, the “King of Porn”, John C. Holmes, it marked the last gasp of his Warhol-prophesied “fifteen minutes of fame”. My director saw it in terms of blood and drugs – pot and acid, yielding to heroin and cocaine. For him, the story was not about pornography, nor was it a biography. It was about the unsolved murders that symbolically mark the end of an era; the free-spirited sixties giving violent birth to the greedy eighties.”
