Yes, I hope we get some free publicity... let me try to address each question... first, here's a general summary without going into the storyline itself...

We think the picture should be ready for a late Spring release, when everyone is getting spring fever and just before kids get out of school... I think if we release while kids are already out of school, they'll be at camp and not see the movie, we want the whole family to see it together as a family, to share the experience and laugh together, families need that,it's very important...
I'll let you know when the posters are printed, thanks for asking...
We have Richard Sarafian, Jr., an award winning director, who will direct this film... Richard has two brothers, Deran Sarafian who directs CSI: Miami (TV), and Tedi who wrote Terminator 3 with Arnold Schwarzenegger... all three Sarafian brothers are with our studio... their father is Richard Sarafian, Sr. and has directed more than 50 motion pictures, and their uncle is Robert Altman, the biggest independent film maker in Hollywood...
My on screen credits are Producer and Executive Producer...
The cast will be announced after we get them signed with us...
We already have the crew we need...
There are three phases... we're in the pre-production phase right now, that's getting cast, location, costumes, and so on, all lined up... our script supervisor and location manager has the script broken down for each location, three locations, and we're finalizing the staring roles at the moment... the production phase, or the principal photography, takes about six weeks, then the post production phase will take around 4 to 6 months, that's editing, sound, music, credits, and so on... then the distribution phase begins... we hope to have a release late Spring, 2004... we hope to begin the photography for our next picture in February in Nevada...
Please, you'll make me blush, I'm not famous, just a guy trying to create around 100 minutes of great entertainment for everyone, I think the world can use a good laugh right about now...
We're also looking at some cruises, I'm going to try to sneak away between projects, the Panama Canal sounds just wonderful...
