Kilmer replaces De Niro in 'New Orleans'?
Val Kilmer may have replaced Robert De Niro in forthcoming movie New Orleans, reports say.

De Niro was attached to star alongside rapper 50 Cent in the thriller, also known as Microwave Park, which tells the story of a police officer who uncovers a web of corruption while investigating his partner's murder.

Kilmer's website reports that the actor will play a "burly rough but loyal cop", adding "50 is my partner..."

It is not clear whether De Niro has withdrawn from the Charles Winkler-directed film, reports Moviehole.net.

De Niro has just finished shooting crime drama Righteous Kill with 50 Cent.
