The film tells the story of an experienced thief, who accidentally makes off with a Van Gogh. His partner is then kidnapped by gangsters in pursuit of the painting, forcing the criminal to hatch a rescue plan.

Straight to Video time! Woo!

[nitewulf]

Slowing down? Nah

Some people just hope against hope.... Snipes is winding down.. Blade 3 was a disaster(regardless of the actual box office take).

 

[jenov4]

[isamu]

I dunno, according to IMDB he's starring in John Doe, which is written by Zak Penn (Xmen 2 (screenplay) X3, elektra etc) So that should at least make it to the big screen before it bombs.

He's also in Chaos (starring Ryan Phillippe, Jason Statham), some buddy cop movie written & directed by Tony Giglio (Dante's Peak).

Wesleys not finished yet!

That random blonde in 7 seconds is Tamzin Outhwaite, She's 35 but she looks about 42 in everything ive seen her in. She's an ex UK soap star who quit thinking she could make it big in america. :lol looks like it things worked out for her.

Making straight to video movies would rule. More freedom, no stalkers or inane publicity. I'd dig it.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Oh yeah! please be on HBO or whatever soon.

You'd dig it in terms of thinking the movies would be better? Or that you as the actor would have more freedom?

Eh.... you haven't followed Seagals straight to video history have you?

I do know that just because you're making straight-to-home videos doesn't mean that your career is done tho. Just look at Sylvester Stallone's profile at IMDB (link: http://imdb.com/name/nm0000230/bio) and see how much money he makes on his direct-to-home movies. $20 million, IMO, is a VERY NICE paycheck. Only thing I wanna know is who the fuck is eating those costs... :lol

 

[sprsk]

i love how he looks on the cover.

the look on his face says "what the hell am i doing ont he cover of this shitty movie"

You apparently missed the release date linkes on those movies... Avenging Angelo and D-Tox were released around the world in theaters... it's only in the US and Hungary that D-Tox went straight to video, and US and Germany straight to video for Avenging Angelo, and if you check Box Office you see that D-Tox saw a VERY limited release in Sept of 02.

So these aren't true straight to videos...

Let's look at Steven Segal Belly of the Beast That was released in lots of countrys but of those, only what 3 saw screen releases? The 9 went straight to video. That's much more of a straight to video scenario.

Similar thing for Out for a Kill 10 countries straight to video, 6 screen releases... BTW I own one of these... Beast I think.. it's... ok.... it actually could have saw a big screen release in the US and did... ok....

6. The Untitled Onion Movie (2005) (post-production) .... Cock Puncher

:lol :lol

Bah, didn't know those movies got released in theatres worldwide. Just knew that they didn't get released in theatres in the US. Guess Stallone is well liked overseas.
