Thank you for your updates, DiDa.
Unfortunately I probably won't find much time doing research currently since I have some personal/medical issues at the moment.

The movie may be low budget but the location would be a nice change, I think.

Thanks, I hope it's not that bad. Good luck!

Looks like Seagal is not in the movie?

Any news from Zirilli or other cast members?

I thought filming starts today?

Tried to contact Zirilly a couple of times. He isn't even replying...

I don’t think so, maybe Sizemore will play his role.

However, I don’t know where Seagal is actually.

“Perfect Weapon” should start in 10 days, maybe he dropped out of AC because of scheduling conflicts.

Seagal could still be in it. He wasn't going to play the lead snyway so he wouldn't necessarily be there on day 1.

We'll see.

I think they did but when Michael J White did The Voice vs he slated Seagal and a few months later when Seagal was on The Voice Vs he said MJW was not a real fighter....I dont know which one was recorded first but MJW one was posted on You Tube first

If my memory serves me well.....it was Seagal who slated MJW first (there's a surprise)
So I'm guessing they fell out either during (or after) EXIT WOUNDS?
As much as I like Seagal, I'll never understand why he slates other actors so much? It's this arrogance that probably lead to his fall-outs with the big studios :(

Right, Lee Nicholson. "The Voice vs Michael Jai White" was taped first. So when Michael Jai White badmouthed Seagal, he did it the other way round in "The Voice vs Seagal". White said that Seagal is a bad example for the martial arts community because he´s overweighted that much and that the UFC fighters didn´t learn anything from Seagal. Besides, the interviewer hold 3 pictures in the air, a picture of Kimbo Slice, a picture of van Damme and a picture of Seagal. Then he asked Michael which of those 3 guys he would prefer to kick the shit out of. Michael replied "I know the easy answer" and he said Seagal.

Seagal then said that Michael Jai White is no real martial artist which is bullshit. Michael Jai White was a fighter and Seagal is primarily an expert in self-defense which is a big difference.

Let´s not forget that James Lew said in an interview that Michael Jai White and some other heavies tried to intimidate Seagal on the "Exit Wounds" set. So therefore there´s no way that both of them would appear in the same movie, unless they shoot scenes seperately.
