Reel Progress in bid to re-release the feature film "Cut Up." Mike Lyddon of the long running online independent film website Reel Progress announced today that plans are underway to re-release the 1995 suspense film "Cut Up" on VOD, video on demand platform. The film starring Jeff Hollins, Roy "Rusty" Jackson and Rosie Rosato garnered festival acolades and enjoyed a healthy world wide distribution run in the late 90's. Said Lyddon, "Right now we are seeing if the current domestic distributor is going to extend our contract or relinquish the rights back to us. If we get the rights back, expect Cut Up to be VOD by Christmas of 2007."
Cool fusion indeed. Directed by John Paizs, "Invasion" aka "Welcome to Exceptional Vista" aka "Top of the Food Chain" is one of those rare great comedies that truly deserves the title of cult movie. Campbell Scott and Fiona Loewi are funny as hell in this way offbeat flick about a sleepy town well known for it's Nut Factory (yes an actual factory which produces nuts) when nasty aliens decide to invade and wreak havoc. The dialog is at times side splitting, and the whole thing is delivered in such a dry manner that after a while you could be questioning your own sanity...and loving the idea!
