The more interesting part for me:
What’s your proudest film?
I hope in the future that will be a question that causes me a little more thought. Unfortunately, as you know, this business is very collaborative and that means that the writers vision is rarely realized when the finished product hits the shelves. That’s not to say that the process is wrong or flawed. One thing that we all have to realize is that this is a business and the responsibility for a projects success or failure rests on many people’s shoulders. Of course that results in everyone having input which is rarely a good thing. That said I would have to say “Into the Sun.” It was my first produced film and the feeling of being in Japan on the set and watching my words come to life was humbling.
Are you working on anything more with Steven Seagal in the future?
I am indeed. I’m very lucky that Steven enjoys working with me. He trusts my writing enough to partner up with me in the process. I am forever grateful for the opportunities he has given me. In 2005 Steven and I wrote a film called “Prince of Pistols” that should start shooting in July of this year. It’s set in New Orleans. I know that he is very excited about Directing it himself. As you know, the only other project he directed was “On Deadly Ground.”
What else is on the cards for you?
This year I have “Prince of Pistols” filming in July and “Art of War 2”(WESLEY SNIPES)[/B] probably starting production in September. “Walking Tall 2&3” should be finished by mid July and that will probably be released sometime in early 2007. I’m also setting up a television pilot based on my past experiences as an undercover narcotics detective. This year two of my past projects with Steven Seagal should be released. They are “Shadowman” and “Harvester.” Also, two months ago we wrapped “Enemy of the Unseen” which was filmed in Romania and that should be released sometime in mid 2007. Writing this out makes me realize how lucky I am to be involved in so many projects -- and for that I am very thankful.
Cool
Thank you interesting interview..

Joe Halpin Projects
Thanks for posting the link to the interview. Some interesting information about upcoming projects. I had not heard about Kevin Sorbo and the Walking Tall DTVs. Joe Halpin seems to have the movie business in perspective and genuinely enjoys what he does. Refreshing not to hear someone in the entertainment business simply whining about something. Plus he takes the time to answer questions if you e-mail his site.
