Val Kilmer is set to take over a prison near his home in New Mexico to play a convicted killer in his new movie. In "Felon," the actor will play a man jailed for shooting an intruder in his home.

And the cast and crew will be using the old Santa Fe State Penitentiary as the backdrop for the movie, which starts shooting next month, according to MovieHole.net.

Former stuntman Ric Roman Waugh, who worked with Kilmer on True Romance, will direct the film.
