Should Seagal return with Julius Nasso?

[latinojazz]

I don´t think so.It´s too late yet

Enjoy as more as possible the last flics he´ll gonna film.It´s all that we got.

And to rewatch the classic films, of course

I would personally like Seagal to finish his career sooner rather than later and with a bang rather than a whimper.

True that Nasso is a ****ing criminal and Steven made the good choice by leaving him and getting out of that mafia-mob ****, but anyway Take Sensei made his best movies with the criminal Nasso productions (From "Above The Law" until "Exit Wounds"), and when they left he only made wack and medium movies (sincerely I prefer "The Patriot" to "Out Of Reach" or "Submerged").
But anyway I wouldn't accept it if they would come back working together, it would be dangerous and dirty for Steven's career.

 

[Choy_Ley_Fut]

I forgot to say: I agree with Marky about the kind of movies Seagal should make.. the CIA stories have broken out, personally I'm tired of always seeing him having troubles of working with CIA.. I think he should get out a little bit from the action movies circle, and try to change his look, maybe like Stallone did with "Stop or my mom will shoot" or also Bruce Willis with "Lucky number Slevin". He should try to do some comedy, or some martial arts movie in the Asian style, like ****ing Van Damme or Mark Dacascos did. Or why not, something kinda like "School of Rock", wouldn't it be cool? Where he goes to a school to find a criminal and while he searches for him he teaches guitar to kids? It's an already seen thing, but would be a news with Steven Seagal.

Steven can make good films WITHOUT Nasso!

Look at Exit Wounds from producer Joel Silver!

 

[j mclane]

then you have to give him his share of the blame for The Patriot. We don't want another The Patriot. Well, I guess some people do, but I don't.QUOTE]

I would whole heartedly welcome back a film like the patriot, boring though it was compared to Seagals previous films of the time, at least it was well directed, looked like it cost more that 2p to make, and Seagal actualy acted in it.

Bring back Nasso NOW, he obvously has more pull with the studios, gets better scripts, directors and crew etc, Seagal is working with amatuers now, and it shows.

 

[GlimmerMan]

J McLane - good post with regards to The Patriot. I would love to see a Seagal movie like that again.

 

[ORANGATUANG]

Me too Glimmerman this movie wasnt given much of an wrap i think it showed that he can still be an butt kicker and an be softie at the same time...

 

[Donald Lee Wilkey]

Let's give credit where credit is due
Steven Seagal has and will continue to compliment and grace all past and present and future cinematic collaborators, film investors, and co-producers with his mere presence on the sets, everyone knows this
Steven Seagal and Steamroller Productions gonna' roll all over you and inject us fans with evolutionary entertainment and finesse performances that shall stand the test of time

 

[GlimmerMan]

Come off it dude.

 

[sydneyalias1325]

No, it will not going to be a great idea to work with Nasso again but as above...it would have been nice to do those kind of quality films like Nasso's but it is no difference because when Under Siege 3 do get made if Warner decides to go ahead with the project after they find out in July after the release of Die Hard 4, it'll be first project without Nasso being involved.

 

[marky96]

So far it doesn't look like Seagal is getting involved with Warner Bros. again anytime soon, not even with their DTV productions.

 

[Donald Lee Wilkey]

Steven Seagal and Nasso should get together again just for ol' times sake and make another movie like they did with Under Siege 2; Dark Territory

 

[ORANGATUANG]

Two words HELL NO!!!

 

[marky96]

I think that they should bury the hatchet and work together again as soon as possible. Together they made a formidable team and the films that they made together were the most successful of Seagal's entire career.
Since they split up Seagal most definitely has not reached the heights of his early career. Nasso on the other hand has produced three other films that have all rated highly on the IMDb. Most notably was Narc (2002), starring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric and directed by Joe Carnhan with an IMDb rating of 7.4. Now if Seagal had been able to appear in a film like this then I think there is no way that his career would have slid down the slippery slope into DTV hell as it has done. I think that if Seagal had been able to make connections with the producers of this film or the director then he would have had many more opportunities opened to him. Joe Carnhan after all has gone on to direct Smokin Aces (2006) again starring Liotta, along with Ben Affleck.
I think it would be good to see Seagal in films like these where he can still be an action hero, but also broaden his appeal. I think Nasso represents one of the best chances for him to do that.

Joe Carnhan is also directing the remake of The A-Team.

I'd just like to point out that Seagal has made several movies like Narc, poorly edited and murkily shot movies with bad acting and overly complicated nonsensical storylines. That's not exactly something that's missing in his career.

Seems like we must have seen a different movie mindisamirror. Sure Seagal has made films similar to Narc. However I would not say that it was poorly edited and if it was murkily shot then it was intentionally done to give the film a gritty realistic feel. Another factor in this is the very low budget of only $7.5m, lower than the budgets on nearly all of Seagal's DTV films, yet Narc was still able to get a cinema release. Indeed with the exception of Ticker (2001) and A Dangerous Man (2009), all of Seagal's films since Half Past Dead (2002) have had budgets greater than Narc, with some like Out of Reach (2004) having budgets of up to $20m, yet there have been no cinema releases. I would also not say that Narc had bad acting, with Ray Liotta in particular giving one of the best performances of his career. This is especaially true when you look at some of the acting in Seagal's films of the past decade. The same can be said of your point about the nonsensical storylines. I never had trouble folloowing Narc, yet I am still not fully sure of all the plot twists in The Foreigner (2003) for example. It seems that the majority of the people on the IMDb would also agree with me, with Narc scoring a rating of 7.3, with the highest rating for a Seagal film since his last cinema release being 5.4 for Urban Justice (2007), and the lowest being 2.6 for Attack Force (2006). I therefore stand by my original point that Seagal should work with Julius Nasso again based partly on the fact he produced a film like Narc.

I don't think Steven needs to work with Nasso again in order to make good films. Recent movies like Urban Justice and Pistol Whipped marked a return to better quality Steven Seagal movies, which demonstrates that he just needs to work with people who are dedicated to making really good action movies and not just doing it to grind out DTV movies for the sake of it. The main thing is that Steven needs to want to make really good movies and not lend his name or talent to crap like Kill Switch.

 

[ORANGATUANG]

Still say No..
