I have returned from Hollywood - and my view of Seagal has unfortunatly not been improve, infact its been made worse.
We arrived on the Friday and after alot of internet reasearch checking differant sites we came up with 2282 Mandeville Canyon Rd in Brentwood as Stevens address. On the Saturday we proceeded to get a Taxi to Westwood and walk from there to his house - a journey of some 15 plus walking miles return as well as $70/80 in taxi fares. We got to the address - chinese dragons and pavillions were evident. However just as we were about to take our photos and leave a woman came down and after explaining our situation she told us that Steve didnt live there anymore, she recommeneded we get in contact with Steamroller Productions in Studio City to contact him and asked us to leave ASAP. After walking back having wasted a day of a 7 day holiday and extremely tired we started to think that mabye this woman was lieing to us to get rid of us. After all - why would someone working for the new owners know the address and name of Stevens production company. We decided to do some further research - we searched more sites and looked at 4/5 star maps - one that had been updated in January 2005 with Steven as a new addition - at 2282 Mandeville Canyon Rd - strange as the woman we spoke too said he'd moved out some time ago. We have come to the conclusion that this woman simply lied to us to get rid of us - an absolute disgrace considering the amount of time, effort and money we put into getting there from Hollywood - and getting to Hollywood from the UK, and considering all we wanted to do was take a quick photo outside.
The second thing that we found out is that when we rang Steamwroller we discovered that Steven never goes into his own Production offices and never met the woman who we spoke to (who is involved in the development of his films). This i find amazing - even if he works from home as she informed us, to never go into your own offices is astounding - simply from a staff moral standpoint. This could also explain the poorer nature of Stevens recent projects if hes never there to discuss pre production and development with the staff that are getting him his movie roles. As well as that she told us that Steven hadnt had any influence in Submergeds production. We think this could be the reason for his poorer quality films as of date as well - the fact that he turns up gets paid, films and leaves and doesnt hang around for post production may be the reasons for poor editing and the dubbing of his voice.
We sent Steamroller an email with out concerns about the way we were treated - explaining that if it wasnt Stevens house after all we apologise - but at the moment the evidence points towards the other way. Not a great outlook on Seagal at the moment.
