They say that you are never a prophet in your home town, I say it can take a while. Our little indie action flick DEADEN which was shot in Montreal with a story set in Montreal, is finally available to buy in fucking Montreal, behind the clock in terms of some of the rest of the world which has been distributing it since 2007 or so. There it is (along with SV Bell’s Crawler) at Archambault downtown, as it should be. Props to SV Bell and Christian Viel 4 making it happen. PS: Deaden is also available on Netflix for my US pals.

It took long (over 3 years) but our little indie that could DEADEN will finally hit the streets in its home town of Montreal, Quebec (the film was shot in Montreal and set in Montreal) next week in participating Archambault retailers and Metro Video through the Black Flag label. The film is rated 16+ for strong violence, the lowest rating the film ever got, gotta love Quebec. DEADEN was written and co produced by myself; I also star in the flick. It was directed, produced and edited by Christian Viel. It co stars: Deke Richards, Anna Jaeger and Neil Napier. Here is the synopsis:

After his vicious crew discovers his secret life as an undercover cop, biker Rane (John Fallon) is forced to witness the brutal murder of his pregnant wife before the gang puts an arrow through his head and leaves him for dead. There’s only problem for the murderous biker gang: Rane miraculously wakes up in a hospital bed. Armed with firepower and loaded up on painkillers, the heartbroken yet reinvigorated madman heads out on a merciless vengeance quest.

After years of being “too much” for the UK market, our  low budget vigilante flick DEADEN will finally gun down the UK DVD Shelves come March 22nd, 2010 courtesy of AUK Limited. And the better news is that England’s Censorship board (BBFC) classified it as 18+ with strong cautions and cut NOTHING out of the film. Good shite! DEADEN was written and co produced by myself; I also star in the flick. It was directed, produced and edited by Christian Viel. Horace the”"testicle eating” dog co stars.

A while back, Christian Viel and I teamed up with comic book writer Stefan Hutchinson and artist MAS to create DEADEN The Comic Book, based off Viel and I’s acclaimed indie actionner DEADEN. The project kind of went dormant but now the sleeping giant has been awoken and we’re giving it one more round. Check out a preview of the comic below. Keep in mind that the images are solely pencils, they haven’t been inked or anything yet. Hope ya dig! PS: On a somewhat related note, I am presently writing our long overdue ARROW IN THE HEAD comic book. Its gonna be killer!

Christian Viel’s and I vigilante action flick DEADEN will finally be put out in the UK via AUK LIMITED and you can see the UK TRAILER HERE and the UK DVD sleeve on your left. Good little trailer, am not crazy about the sound design and it feels like it needs more work, but I like its vibe.

It should be said that DEADEN was the most fun I ever had doing a movie PERIOD. Everything about that show good and bad made it a mucho memorable experience for me. And I’ve been chasing the DEADEN dragon even since. : ) If you haven’t tapped DEADEN yet, you can get the the MAINSTREAM REGION 1 DVD HERE or get the LIMITED UNCUT EDITION DVD HERE.
