The producers are in final discussions with Steven Seagal (as "Oda") and are also talking to 50 Cent's management about him coming aboard to play "Tariq". The film is expected to be finished and have its industry premiere at AFM, which runs November 4th-11th this year. In addition to DVD sales, the distributor Pyun is in talks with is eying a limited theatrical run with the initial cities likely to include Austin, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, Honolulu, Seattle, and Atlanta. I've seen a few excerpts from Tales, and it definitely has the scope to merit big-screen treatment. Not to mention plenty of blood spraying, swords flying, and swashes buckling! Look for an official announcement soon. - Debi Moore CHECK OUT DREAD CENTRAL’S NEW POSTER STORE! Got news? Click here to submit it! Tell tales out of school in the Dread Central forums!
