I have some UPDATES regarding this project and it's not too good.

1. I can confirm that Attrition will not be a Netflix picture. So the rumours about Seagal and the 3 picture Netflix deal CAN still be true, but it's not for Attrition.

2. The bad news is that Wych Kaos left the project. He left the whole endeavor. Kaos told me: "It's just taking awhile and I have to go do something else". Bey Logan took over. Kaos is shure the movie will be made.

3. Another bad part: Kaos is going to do something with Prachya Pinkaew now. So Prachya Pinkaew is also OUT!! "He waited a long time".

That's bad news guys. All the trouble with pre-production and funding has lead to the fact that Kaos and Pinkaew left. So it's just Bey Logan and Seagal now. Kaos said they will be fine and that the movie will be made.

Although I'm still hoping this project gets off the ground soon, I have a feeling this may be one of those years when Seagal, for various reasons, simply does not make a movie.:eek:

I really hope it starts filming soon, a new movie directed by Seagal would be really interesting.

So no Ten Stains and The Swordsman this year. I really hope Attrition and General Commander will be quality pictures with a Seagal who cares.

According to the site "cinando", Mathieu Weschler ("The Borderland") is now directing?
I hope Seagal is still a lot involved, at least.

The movie The Borderland scores a 2.7 on imdb and looks very bad......Although the action from the trailer looks good!

Hmm, the official reviews are a good for a low budget movie.

Trying to contact Mathieu Weschler.....

By the way, if this is true then Seagal will again have a director he can control and that is not good. There has been only one director for the last 15 years that had the guts to tell Steven:
Listen, I want to do this movie with you, but you have to give yourself 100%. That means: be on set, no stupid stunt doubles, no voice dubbing and no stupid clothes. Otherwise I am gone. You let me direct

That guy was Roel Reiné and the result was Pistol Whipped, one of Seagal's best dtv movies.

To be fair, despite the low budget, THE BORDERLAND was a pretty well made, fast paced movie (with good fight scenes) If Seagal even put out a 'TRAILER' as good as this one, I'd be happy? :)

By the way, Matthieu Weschler told me that he really wants to work on the look of the movie, giving it a real "mise en scene" and not just lazy shots.

I also told him that in his last movies Seagal's fight scenes are shot too closely. I told him that this time the fans really hope that we get to see what Seagal is doing in his fightscenes (just like the old days) ;).

Seriously, all those Asian guys who are attached to this movie, are big names in the Asian movie market.
