| A Boy and His Bird News October 2004 concave_scream sends us this mention of Wicked Prayer in a recent Fangoria.com report, the source of the information is the trade publication Variety:
October 26: Miramax seeks releasing partner for genre pix Variety reports that Miramax is currently seeking outside partners to distribute a number of its unreleased films, including direct-to-video franchise entries. The company is also seeking to divvy up production responsibilities on movies on its development slate with other studios. This means that a number of genre titles that have been languishing on Miramax and Dimension's shelves may finally see the light of day, including the Christina Ricci-starrer THE GATHERING, the psychological thriller THE I INSIDE starring Ryan Phillippe and a whole slew of sequels including DRACULA III: LEGACY, THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER, the seventh and eighth HELLRAISER movies and the fourth and fifth PROPHECY films, not to mention notable Asian adventures like THE LEGEND OF ZU and TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER. Not to read too much into this, but the mention of"direct-to-video franchise entries" would seem to point toward Wicked Prayer being direct-to-video as almost all the films it is mentioned with are DTV franchise titles for Dimension (Hellraiser, Prophecy and Dracula). As we reported some time back, there has been a lot of inner termoil within Dimension due to the ongoing unstable ground that Miramax is currently on. Wicked Prayer is due to be completed within a few weeks, perhaps this is perfect timing and it will not sit on the Miramax/Dimension shelf for long. Keep checking with us as we learn more in the coming weeks. Take care...

Gabi from the ChambeRoom alterted everyone to a short article from The Crow: Wicked Prayer star Danny Trejo where he talks about how the first Crow film's tragedy helped to change sets for the better and speaks to how safe the latest Crow movie's set was: SPY KIDS star DANNY TREJO is convinced THE CROW curse won't haunt the latest installment of the franchise - because BRANDON LEE's tragic death in 1993 has made the set one of the safest in Hollywood . Martial arts star Lee was shot dead on the set of THE CROW in 1993 when the death of his character in the film took a bizarre twist - and he was shot for real. But Trejo, who teams up with TERMINATOR star EDWARD FURLONG and TARA REID in the latest Crow film WICKED PRAYER, is convinced Hollywood is a safer place after the accident. He says, "Since that movie... people that handle guns have become a lot more aware. "I've watched this whole thing evolve and I watched it when Brandon was killed. The people that handled guns knew the danger but then a lot of times directors were in a hurry... so some of the safety precautions were taken for granted. "If you're young and you're not conscious of this weapon, you say, 'It's a blank.' Well a blank can kill you. "Any time that there's gonna be a gun on set there's a safety meeting... When there's a gun on the set the minute the director says cut, the gun's off the set." Thanks again to Gabi Take care |
