Val Kilmer to Star in Reelz Channel's XIII: THE CONSPIRACY, Premiering 6/18

ReelzChannel - TV About Movies(R) today announced it will air the two-part TV movie XIII: THE CONSPIRACY, starring Stephen Dorff and Val Kilmer. Part 1 of XIII: The Conspiracy will premiere on Monday, June 18th, 2012 at 11pm ET/ 8pm PT immediately followed by Part 2 in the two-hour conclusion at 1am ET/ 10pm PT.

XIII: The Conspiracy begins with the first female U.S. President being assassinated by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. Three months later, a wounded man is found tattered in a forest with no memory of his identity. The only clue he has is a "XIII" tattoo on his body. Could XIII's (Dorff) lightning-fast reflexes and killer instincts betray him as the presidential assassin that the U.S. is desperately searching for? Submerged in a far-reaching conspiracy, which threatens to overthrow the entire government, XIII's identity becomes the key to unraveling a complex and dangerous secret. From the first bullet, this gripping action-thriller will leave viewers craving more.

XIII: The Conspiracy also stars Lucinda Davis (The Wool Cap) as Jones, a top CIA operator, Caterina Murino (Casino Royale) as Sam, XIII's trustworthy ally and love interest. Greg Bryk (Immortals, Saw 3D: The Final Chapter) is Amos, a national security officer while Stephen McHattie (Immortals, 2012) stars as General Carrington and Ted Atherton (Max Payne, The Border) is Wally Sharidan, the former U.S. President and a possible traitor.
