not to be the guy that waited until a thread was dead and buried, but im still not seeing a dvd release, and would like to know more. i dont know how i completely missed this thread, or if i didnt, what substances prevented my recollection of it, but now im exteremly interested in the film and would like to get a copy...

plus, having an official dvd with the likes of mystic slippers would put some needed class into my dvd collection. my dolph lundgren autographed copy of the punisher would be put to shame by it.

So glad i kept the Workprint. I'm gutted, i see no DVD of this at all.

I wonder if Sven will return to these forums and let us know?

Might be worth dropping an email to Snowdog and see if we can get some sort of response.

Either way, i hope things get sorted. LA Twister is a wonderful movie and one that deserves to be seen by the masses.

Hey guys,

I'm glad to see that there are still people interested in the film. Thank you so much.

I wish I could give you some good news in regards to a definitive release date, but unfortunately the film is stuck in distribution hell...

In the meantime a little taste of what I have been up to in the past year...

It's sad to hear that about LA Twister, but hopefully you can get more exposure with HK. Thanks for the update.

I finally got round to watching L.A Twister. Not what I was expecting at all, got to say job well done. It was no Matrix but I would definitley put it in the same category as say Swingers.

Its a crying shame that there are problems with the distribution of this movie, does it have anything to do with the fact that you made it freely available on the net? I think its awesome that you did that, many many more people, who wouldnt have otherwise seen it, now know about your work.

I will be honest and say I probably won't buy it when it is available, not because I didn't like it, not because I have already seen it and not because I am a dirty pirate just because I am more of an Action and Sci fi movie freak. Had I not downloaded it, I would never have seen it, now that I have I will definitley be keeping an eye out for Hollywood Kills, if its on at my local cinema I will go and pay to see that.

Do you know if it will get a U.K release?

I like the look of Hollywood Kills... My only request (not that I expect it to make any difference) is that no compromises are made with the gore - don't wuss out for the censors, people like gore Seriously Sven, try and make people throw-up in the isles!!

If it comes out in the UK, I'll watch it in the cinema even though I hate the fucking place. If on the other hand, it doesn't come out over here - I'll happily steal a copy and plug it via this site

I agree with Neversoft. Do NOT compromise on shock/schlock.

It's what Hollywood movies of recent years seem to lack. Eli Roth was halfway there with Hostel but I feel it was a let down and a bit of a wimp out.

I can probably count on one hand the directors of today that have put out movies that really push it. Not one of those is from the US. It's all about Asia. The current cream of extreme.

It would be fantastic if Hollywood put out movies with the originality and creativity of those European horror flicks we all know and love from the 1970's and early 80's.

I wish you all the best with Hollywood Kills, it looks great and I look forward to seeing it in the theatre. Failing that I hope to be able to bag a copy somehow. Sorry to put it that way, but I hope i do get to see the movie legitmately.

As for LA Twister, is there anything we can do? Anyone we can write to to get this movie released?

Glad to see you posting again here Sven and all the best with your career.

glad to be posting again here.

I know I have been promising for a long time to do a scene edition of L.A. Twister and it is on my mind. One of these days I will make that happen and I want to do a good job with the special features.

I regards to shock value in HK, I'll let you be the judge. Just this much, I was somewhat inspired by the old Dario Argento films (e.g. Terror at the Opera), their Hitchcock-style horror and non-PC-ness is intriguing to me.

cheers, Sven

Shush! You pair of dongs


Hollywood Kills looks good, but all trailers do.

Reminds me of the Unrated Hostel, which was gruesome as fuck.

Anyway, looking forward to HK.

I just noticed the lead in Hollywood Kills is none other than Dominic Keating!

This bloke was in 80's Channel 4 sitcom Desmond's!

QUALITY!!!!!!!!

Hi Sven,

Any word on the DVD at all? I want a nice retail edition of LA Twister badly. It's a great movie and you deserve our money!!

Great news you're an Argento fan. The old 70's/80's Euro slash and splat trash is my favourite. Except for Argento's cut of Dawn Of The Dead...which was shit.

But Lenzi, Fulci, Bava and co, all those old favourites are the best. Nobody, not even Hollywood will be able to reproduce movies of that standard ever again. Those movies were strictly one offs. No amount of remakes or influence will ever match those.

Make Hollywood Kills your own thing, but i'd prefer to see influences kept to a minimum so the audience goes "yeah, nice touch" rather than get all beard and sandals and AD&D on everyone's ass a la Tarantino who clearly has no thoughts or ideas of his own.

Resevoir Dogs for example.

Go for it though Sven, best of luck with the new movie, but FFS get this LA Twister DVD out pronto man!!!

Hey Mystic,

I will have a DVD for you before xmas. I'm working on the special features now.

This will become the long talked about "scene edition". I'll do a run of a 1000 and make them available thru the backdoor.

Special features will include a personal diary of the shoot (from the production designer), clips from the premiere at the Grauman's Chinese, trailers for the film and the play and the comments on this message board... and maybe maybe a commentary (I'll give it a shot this week).

L.A. Twister may not be available thru any other channels for a long time (that is up to the distribution gods), but at least you can get it here...

On other news, we just signed a distribution deal for Hollywood Kills (w/ a new company that comes with good recommendation) and the film should become available thru normal retail channels as early as beginning of 2007.

I'm just starting pre-production on a new project "Angels there Attend", a festival film about fate and choice and I'm excited that Traci Lords has signed on to star in the project. She is an amazing and energetic person and we hit it off right away.

Thanks to all that still keep following this thread...

Sven

2007 for Hollywood Kills? SHiiiiit, really looking forward to seeing it too.


Good luck with your new project, and good job for getting a hot 80's porn star involved in it.
