I think the chances of Seagal getting back in the theater is very slim. I thought all of Seagals recent movies were independently made and Sony decides after they see the finished film if they want to distribute the film, so how can Sony guarantee a theater release when they don't even know if they will be distributing his next three films.

Seagal has a 3 picture deal with Sony (Harvester, Enemy Of The Unseen and Prince Of Pistols) and has garantueed at least one theatrical release.

Sony already knows that they will distibute his next films and probably POP will be the one with the theatrical release.

After seeing Half Past Dead in 2002, I knew he'd be in dtv projects for next few years and 4 years had gone by. After that time, I always knew to myself that he'll return to the big screen one day. Like I said before...that he won't return to big screen until sometime after 2007 after hearing many people keep saying that he won't return to big screen. I kept telling them that he will with two or three projects and one of them will be Under Siege 3. So on, after hearing that Warner Bros is going to do dtv sequels to some successful films so it's a quite possibility that Seagal would do this for Under Siege 3, and The Honor Farm (a sequel to Exit Wounds) but have to wait and see how it'll turn out and who's going to be on director's chair for either one of those films. Might head up for a theaterial release for Under Siege 3 but not for Honor Farm.

I rather to see Warner working with Seagal again no matter what because his films were lot better when he's with Warner as usual. I'm sure they'll work together again but they haven't in a while which is probably because they haven't found a right project yet.

I'd like to see Dwight H. Little working with Seagal again, maybe he's a right choice to do 3rd installment of Under Siege if Andrew Davis doesn't do it. I rather to see a director doing this installment that Seagal already worked with.

So that means Prince Of Pistols, Harvester, or Enemy Of The Unseen will be released into theaters.

Harvester & Enemy of the Unseen ahve already been filmed - If one of his films is going to be released to theatres "in the next FEW years", I don't think they will wait that long to release those two.....
 
That's why lot of people keep saying that it looks like it's going to be Prince of Pistols because it looks like it's guaranteed for a theaterical release and plus a known director is attached to it which is Seagal is doing it. He has done a theaterical film before for On Deadly Ground. Plus it hasnt; been filmed yet until next month which will finally be filmed in United States this time.

Yeah Under Siege 3 is a possibility... Because this movie series has a lot of fans, and everybody know the movies... I think maybe they want to wait how Prince of Pistols will be, and if its not a great movie they will look for Under Siege 3 in Theaters. But i really think that Prince of Pistols will kick Ass. Halpin as a writer and Seagal as Director, man thats awesome :)

Would someone mail Joe Halpin and ask when he's going to update his own website. I would like to see new pictures of him and Steven.
I ask "someone" because I think it's better that one (of 2) of us should be the contactperson between Joe Halpn and steven-seagal.net. I think that Joe doesn't like it when every member on this forum is going to mail him.
Maybe LittleDragon can mail him. I thought he mailed Joe before, or am I wrong?

This is the logical theatrical release:Under Siege 3

Prince Of Pistols with Steven directing and a lot of blues legend on it???

Maybe can be a semi-succesful formula for the States folklore.

I only know that I don´t know anything and I have lose the faith in a Steven theatrical Steven release in USA

It's all well and good saying that because Seagal is directing this will be a factor in making the film worthy of going to cinemas. Granted he did do On Deadly Ground (1994) but, this was over a decade ago. Seagal's recent films are in many ways stuck in the 1990s, what is to say his directing won't be too? We as fans regard On Deadly Ground to be one of Seagal's best films in terms of action and style however in terms of his career it could be argued it was one of the worst. After all this was his first commercial failure (it was budgeted at $50m but failed to make even $40 at the US box office) and it began the cycle of good and bad films that has plagued our hero's career ever since. To a producer this does not bode well to letting the notoriously difficult to work with Seagal loose with a large budget. The same is true of Halpin, who has never had a film he has written released theatrically and even in his best effort, Into the Sun (2005), you can see why. I just don't think we should loose our sense of reality.

actually, it came real close to 40 million. It was grossed at 39.4 million at the box office. It came out almost similar to what Out for Justice made in 1991 but I knew On Deadly Ground had a little higher budget.

I wouldn't call that as a big commerical failure, don't forget to count vhs rental gross too so it's a break-even and I don't know how much.

As far as I recall...I didn't think On Deadly Ground was released as nationwide until 2 weeks after it opened (February 1994). I was going to see it in theaters back in that time but at that time, it wasn't playing in the area where I live in so I had to wait 5 months until it's released on video (July 1994).

I remembered that because I begged my father to take me to see it and he told me no because he already saw it. I was like HUH?!? why?

I have been seeing every Seagal's movies in theatres since Under Siege with an exceptation of On Deadly Ground.

Into The Sun had a theatrical release in Japan. Unfortunately I don't have any box office info on it (I can not read Japanese). And I believe that Into The Sun had the potential for a theatrical release in the rest of the world.

It'll do you some good

Into the sun clearly deserved a theatrical release, a car chase perhaps-one more fight sequence and some more gunfights and it was a dead cert. a shame.

I think it's you who needs to go back to school donwilkey.

You should take a course in reality and perhaps then you would be able to see the real state of Seagal's career. I believe I am a true fan because not only do I support our hero but I also offer constructive criticism and debate. Clearly this is just too much for some people to comprehend.

A real shame I think...
