Der Meister scheint mit Enthusiasmus an seine nächsten Projekte zu gehen, FLIGHT OF FURY wird von ihm schon vorher ordentlich abgewatscht.
During his prolific film career, Seagal has seen movies like Hard To Kill and Under Siege make millions but others have been hit and miss commercially leading the actor to put later work straight to DVD and VHS. Asked to comment he says: "We have a lot of offers which are guaranteed threatrical and like everybody else I've had my ups and my downs and sometimes you want to get into something, do it quickly, and move onto something else. At this point we do have a few movies that we're planning that might even get into Oscar campaigns and things that have a lot more prestige."
Seagal quickly distances himself from claims that he's just finished a movie called Flight of Fury and comments: "Sometimes you get in with people who say they have $30m to make a movie and they steal $25m and give you $5m to make the movie. And that's why you see movies that are just **** because the financiers have stolen everything. I don't know that title unfortunately. I'm making a movie right now and as soon as I'm finished I'm on tour about a cop's son who gets murdered. They're calling it Once Upon A Time In The Hood which is as dumb as the original (title)." He confirms it is true that a tentative project next year is Prince Of Pistols which is intended to bring some badly-needed cash to the New Orleans' economy. "This film is fully lit and ready to go and it's a black (based on truth) story about a white racist who was very powerful and stealing all the land that belonged to black people. He went into the hall or records and falsified documents and he would kill and do whatever he had to do to keep people out of his way. He was supposed to have had a secret concentration camp in Louisiana and he really existed and it's a story of black triumph over racism," Seagal says.
