at Dolphage . But seriously, the title "Skin Trade" ... at first made it me think of an erotic thriller, you know like those back in the 90s, Basic Instinct and so forth. It's a good title, no doubt, but that's what popped into my head. By the way, what happened to the erotic thriller-genre? Do they even make them anymore? Can't think of any recent ones, except maybe ... I dunno, "Chloe?" And the most important question of all, should Dolph star in one someday?

Jill the Ripper had shades of the erotic thriller genre in it, to some extent and when I first heard the title Skin Trade I immediately suspected sexual connotations. I guess it's probably a more kinda brutal cop thriller maybe "with a message" about human trafficiking or the like... yeno just more serious in tone than Command Performance for example. Anyway, I'm interested to see where this one goes and hopefully it'll be a little like Dolph's "Taken". I could see that working if he got a good co-star.
Still, they don't make alot of them anymore. Which might be a good thing, now that I think about it. Haven't seen Jill the Ripper yet, but I like your "Taken" comparison, hopefully that's close to what we'll get.by MFS on 12 May 2010, 19:16

I barely watched Disney movies when I was twelve. Barely. And I had to be accompanied by an adult ... ah, nostalgia. by Nathan on 12 May 2010, 19:47

While the part about having to be accompanied by an adult isn't true (I love Disneymovies though), I actually didn't start watching "real" actionmovies until I was like fourteen or something, but that was mostly because I had a problem with extreme violence and gore, which I thankfully overcame.by evegotbet on 18 May 2010, 05:13

Well if the son is abducted, in order to make an exchange with a ransom (or if it has to do with illegal human trade), then the title make sense. I like this title, mysterious and appealing.
),i don't know. Also, when i think of the title "Skin Trade" i think of fur hunting and trading. i don't know. it doesn't matter. i guess i just don't like the title name that much, i find it misleading. we'll see

I, for one, think it's a delightful title. One of the best titles I've ever heard. (I also give foot massages...) (with a happy ending) (but not really)

Financing is almost done, filming dates are still up in the air but it looks like it's not gonna be shot before the end of the year (not this summer because of the EXPENDABLES PR).
