Imperia is pretty shady. Here’s where i wish i hadn’t taken a vacation from updating my site for a month, there were about a dozen links regarding people pulling out of Never Submit and a bunch of crap about issues with the company. What do you expect from a company that’s one big hit was a movie about a girl and her pet seal?

Well don’t i look like a horses ass about the non union thing.

They should get some of the guys from channel 101 (whoever isn’t working at acceptable TV now.) Every one of those guys is hilarious and i’m pretty sure non-union.

I agree with Canson. Definitly go with actual actors/comedians.

If they do this they really should use comedic/improv actors for most of the main roles and not fighters. Maybe a few fighters like Mayhem would be a good fit. I would audition for this, but I’m working on projects halfway across the country until the beginning of ‘08.

“Non union performers preferred” is a common business practive when producing small budget films, since this keeps the production costs much lower than if you’re using SAG-members (or members of any other film union). Quentin Tarantino for example wasn’t a member of the DGA, but became one in order to shoot an episode of ER, only to quit right after again to go on and shoot “Four Rooms” with Robert Rodriguez, since the DGAs rules don’t allow a movie to have two Directors (RR did the same thing for “Sin City”, when he got Frank Miller on board as Co-Director). “From Dusk til Dawn” for example was shot entirely with a non-union crew (and was striked in turn by the IATSE, because they thought that a budget of more than 10 mio $ warranted a crew made up of union-workers).

But all in all this press release doesn’t look too good. Let’s put it this way, a press release that spends more lines talking about the creator/producer than the actual product (even if in the earliest pre-production stages) looks a bit weird, especially considering the whole thing reads more like a no-budget amateur production, than a professional one. And I really wonder what “top five major studio” is interested in this project. Neither Fox, Paramount, Universal, Warner or Walt Disney distribute projects like that. The only one that i could see doing it would be Lionsgate, but seriously, they’re not a major studio…

“(non union performers are preferred).”

Uh…. interesting. Based on what I vaguely remember hearing from Cindy Ortiz, Imperia was pretty shady and lame. I wonder if this Hergott, INC. will be too.
