Nice interview. Good to see Seagal very motivated about settling his own production company in Thailand. I really hope Attrition will start a new period in his movie making.

 

[Martin01]

Any news? Are they still in Pre-Production?

Any news? Are they still in Pre-Production?

Yes, I have news but Kaos told me I cannot share it yet. Sorry....but don't worry, it's good news and the movie is still happening

 

[Martin01]

Since "Gunfighter" probably starts filming in August, I guess this one will delay until fall.

So we maybe could expect some news this month?

On imdb, Binh Dang is listed as producer now. Does that maybe mean that Keoni Waxman is helping out on this movie too?

Also Bey Logan, a co-producer of "Sword of Destiny" (which was a great movie), is listed on imdb too. But he also produced some little movies.

Binh Dang produced almost every movie with Seagal. No Waxman attached....

 

[Martin01]

Last year, Binh Dang produced only the Waxman projects I think.

However, I'm really looking forward to this movie.
It's great to see Seagal directing again, Thailand as location is great too.
Could this maybe even turn out as Seagals best film since "Exit Wounds" ?

 

[Martin01]

Strange, still no official announcements.

I hope the "exciting news" are something really great or interesting.

I just had a little chat with Wych Kaos. Things have changed a little bit. He told me Steven will be back in Thailand next week to continue pre-production with him. They were about to start shooting in August, but it will be post-poned a little bit, because there are a number of cast members who's filming dates they are trying to match. Oh and there will be two famous co-stars in the movie. Also Steven will be working with the biggest budget he's had in a decade. Everything is looking good, but they are just trying to match the time schedule of all the cast members.

Oh and the name of Steven's new production company is Thai Steven Seagal Productions.

Ok see now I am excited. These are the exact things I have been hoping for and wanted to hear for the last many years. Lets hope all of this IS indeed true and that the script is really good.

But we have to be careful. We don't know what is meant with famous. It can also be Danny Trejo for example. He is also famous.....You get my point?

 

[DiDa]

I have the feeling it will be 2 known Asian stars.

 

[Martin01]

Do you think the delay will be weeks or even months?

I have the feeling it will be 2 known Asian stars.

Same here. There is one name in particular who I think is not completely impossible. But it's probably better to have low expectations at this point, otherwise we may be disappointed.

The thing I'm most hooked on is the budget and the script. The budget and the script for me is the most importent thing to begin with. The two famous actors is just the icing on the cake for me..

I have the feeling it will be 2 known Asian stars.

Danny Trejo would be really good, I cant imagin who else it would be in terms of famous (American) actors. Famous Asian actors, I actualy dont know that many.

To name some of the big guns!

Jackie Chan (out of the question, to expensive).
Jet Li (out of the question, to expensive).
Donnie Yen (out of the question, to expensive).
Tony Jaa (perhabs).

I'm 99% possitive that it wont be any of the above that I mentioned. But there is always that last 1 % that makes you dream a little dream..

Do you think the delay will be weeks or even months?

What name is that ???

Personally I dont expect any co star names that I know. I'm just looking forward to see what they can do with the script and the budget.

I have the feeling it will be weeks. It's just a matter of fixing the actor's time schedule's.

Tony Jaa is not impossible. He also did Skin Trade with Lundgren and he knows Prachea Pinkaew (Ong Bak) who is also involved in this 2 picture deal.

I didn't say Tony Jaa was impossible, I said "perhabs."
