Yeah that's pretty cool/eye catching. Hope the UK cover lives up to the high standard of the Icarus covers so far.

I saw the beast last night.
Great acting, really interesting characters (I especially like Kerr), visually splendide, action packed, good pace. We can feel that this is not dolph's cut (I guess if it would have been, the end and the relationship between vadim and icarus would have been more developed. Still ahead of a lot of theatre movies.
I would totally see Dolph directing a 20 millions dollars thriller with Samuel L Jackson. Just a thought.

I like it. It's a little over the top, but it's badass.

At least all the covers of this film look cool, unlike most of his other recent movies.

In the teaser trailer and promo, can be seen a couple of omitted shots, including this great one:

The promo reel how the director of photography Marc Windon wanted it to look.

Much better, the dark brooding blue and green, almost murky look fits in with the tone much better and hides the low budget too, I can only assume Cinetel is run by baboons.

Awesome movie, and the covers are all great. But when is this gonna be released here in the US? I'd love to watch it on my own DVD player and not my laptop... Are there at least any guesses as to when we can see this? At least with Dolph's last two films, there was a timeframe of sorts for when they'd be released... It's been finished for well over a year now...

It is a shame it hasn't been released in America yet. The movie isn't great because it suffers from a low budget and is pretty standard fare for the mainstream but I enjoyed it. I think for a Dolph film it had a lot of good things going for it. I would also prefer to just rent or buy a legit copy.
