post #1  on July 30, 2004 - 11:55 AM PDT   ...but no mention at all of "Electric Dragon". It's still on their website as coming soon. Hopefully the site will be updated soon. Anyway, here's the email: <<<<<Films. We are finishing up our new distribution deal and will soon be releasing a whole slate of films. I apologize to you guys for having kept you waiting so long but the red tape and legal mumbo jumbo has taken forever. We have picked up more films and, if you check out the website at www.unearthedfilms.com, you will find Ichi-1 splattered all over the front of our site. Yes, we have picked up the "kick in your face till you're spitting teeth" prequel to Ichi the Killer. Starring Nao Omori of course as Ichi from Ichi the Killer and Teah as Mr. Dai, star of Takashi Miike's City of Lost Souls. The Ichi-1 DVD will have an interview with Takashi Miike and director Masato Tanno and anything else we can dredge from the depths of Japanese coolness. We have also picked up two ultra gore-fests from Russia called.... Nails and Angst. Up and coming director Andrey Iskanov splatters the screen with these two highly psychedelic, over-the-top blood feasts that need to be seen to be believed. Nails is about a detective that uses the art of "Trepan" (crudely hammering holes in his head with nails) in order to see the demons that await us beyond the veil of reality. Angst is a visually intoxicating gore-fest about an alien disguised as a man whose friends get killed in ferociously compelling ways. I've been lucky enough to preview some of the footage from Mr. Iskanov's latest film that he's still working on in Moscow and I do have to say...it looks vicious! The DVDs will be filled to the gills with so many extras that I'm hoping we can fit them all on! As for our other upcoming DVD's, we have finished the mastering of Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre and Pinocchio 964, and, with a little clean up on the subs of the video interview with director Shozin Fukui, Rubber's Lover will also be done. The Devil Doctor Woman menu design is finished and so are the subs for this and The Making of Devil Doctor Woman. The complete Guinea Pig Box Set will be released at the same time as Devil Doctor Woman for those people waiting to pick up all the Guinea Pigs at one time. We will be releasing Black Sun in late September/early October but, no matter what, we won't keep you waiting any longer. Then it looks like a DVD a month from then on, though we might skip December because the retail outlets will be concentrating on the Hollywood crap and retailers would rather kick their own mothers in the gut then carry something cool and edgy like the Guinea Pig Box Set for Christmas. Everyone knows pseudo snuff and gore is what everyone really wants to watch on TV for Christmas instead of those crappy parades your Mom wants you to watch while your uncle Harry is drunk on too much eggnog. The Aftermath/Genesis DVD is scheduled for release right after Rock and Rule. We picked up an audio extra from Mental Funeral Zine. It's an audio interview with Nacho Cerda, Bill Connolly and Devon Gardner. Nice added bonus for the disc. Working on a background visual thing for the DVD to accompany it. Rock and Rule baby! Oh man, so much stuff, so many freaking extra's it's not even funny. Looking at a February release for it. If you want to know more, join the Yahoo group Rockrule in Yahoo or on our website in the news section. Just sent out a massive newsletter that was 5 pages long on all the extra's, print specs, polls that need to be filled out to see what everyone wants on the DVD since we have so much stuff. Won't add it here since this seems to be the gore hounds newsletter. Will ask my webmaster to add that newsletter on the site somewhere for people to check out. What else, what else... Okay, You can pre-order all of our upcoming DVD's and save some cash. About 30 days before each release date, we will email you about this. Working on more contests. The Guinea Pig contest is almost over; check it out at www.guineapigfilms.com if you don't already know about it. On future DVDs we'll have more of our graphic covers for the real gorehounds who want their DVD's blood soaked and not retailer safe so you can show the kiddies. We have more exciting films lined up that we haven't announced due to the red tape of figuring out distribution but we're almost there. We're also working on the production of some really off-the-wall films, as some of you already know, but that's another story. Here are a couple of more websites with info on our upcoming releases. Check em out... http://www.cyberpunkfilms.com/ http://www.menbehindthesun.com/ Cyberpunkfilms is new...if you have seen any of the films, send us a review and we will put it on the site and give you credit, URL address and whatever. You might get something and you might not. So that's it...No that's not it but I'm not going to say anymore since I won't have anything else to say in the next letter.
