Sin-Jin Smyth is Dead?
Its been eons since we have heard anything about Sin-Jin Smyth. The director at one time was keeping us astride on the project which did look pretty friggin cool. Well now comes word from Fangoria and Roddy Piper that the film is not complete and by the sounds of things is stuck in limbo indefinitely. He tells them;
At this point, there has been little indication that SIN-JIN SMYTH (which concerns a pair of federal marshals transporting the titular, evil prisoner on the Day of the Dead) will be resurrected—but not for lack of trying on the part of outside parties, according to Piper. “It’s just sitting there, and that’s a shame,” he says. “There have been other people who’ve said to whoever owns the whole thing, ‘We’ll give you this much money to walk away,’ and have somebody else come in and put up the budget and finish filming, and they won’t do it. They don’t have the money to complete it themselves, but they have kept up the business of advertising it like it’s going to come out any second. If something doesn’t happen in the next couple of months, I might get some people together and say, ‘Let’s finish this thing.’
My 5 cents on this is that I have spoken with Ethan many times. Like I said he used to keep me up to date on things and one thing I saw in him was his devotion to the film. He wants to make his movie, his way. He is not interested in selling out or making a mainstream WB Teen movie. I would assume Roddy is referring to him in the interview at Fangoria. Ethan sticking to his guns isnt a bad thing if it is in fact him holding up the film.
