Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes<\/a><\/b>\u00a0sent us a taste of the great coverage of\u00a0“Shade”<\/b>\u00a0in\u00a0Genii<\/a><\/b>\u00a0magazine:<\/p>\n

There is a lot to the cover story \/ interview’s on\u00a0SHADE<\/b>. It includes an AWESOME interview with director\u00a0Damien Neiman<\/b>\u00a0which is one of the best I’ve read in along time. Here is a taste…<\/p>\n

GENII<\/b>:\u00a0Stallone<\/b>\u00a0has done phenomenal work in things like\u00a0COPLAND<\/b>.<\/p>\n

NEIMAN<\/b>: Absolutely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GENII<\/b>: And because he became an icon so early in his career– maybe he doesn’t think it was early– but he’s been on the screen al this time, and a movie like\u00a0COPLAND<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0SHADE<\/b>\u00a0must be attractive to an actor like\u00a0Stallone<\/b>, who is an artist.<\/p>\n

NEIMAN<\/b>: He is an artist. Most people, when you say “Stallone<\/b>,” just think “Rambo<\/b>,” you know, that kind of character, but he started out at the top. You can’t get any bigger than he was after the first\u00a0Rocky<\/b>. An\u00a0Academy Award<\/b>winning picture, he was nominated for writing it– most people forget he wrote\u00a0Rocky<\/b>\u00a0— and he stuck by it. And he forced the studio, it wasn’t even a studio, it was\u00a0UA<\/b>, it was barely anything, to keep him in the lead. It was a really small independent feature. It was a small little thing that exploded. So\u00a0Stallone<\/b>‘s mindset is kind of back in that era. I think he’s kind of coming full circle and getting back to that, so he saw something in\u00a0SHADE<\/b>\u00a0that appealed to him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NEIMAN<\/b>: The high concept pitch is: It’s\u00a0Pulp Fiction<\/b>\u00a0meets\u00a0The Sting<\/b>….<\/p>\n

NEIMAN<\/b>: The editor was cutting while we were going. The editor’s\u00a0Scott Conrda<\/b>\u00a0who, surprisingly enough, won his\u00a0Academy Award\u00a0<\/b>for cutting\u00a0Rocky<\/b>.<\/p>\n

NEIMAN<\/b>: Yes, absolutely. And as a testament to everyone who worked on the film, from the actors on down,\u00a0Gabriel , Stuart, Stallone<\/b>, they all said it was the best experience they ever had on a film. They all said they dreamed of having the sequel done as soon as possible with all the same crew and all the same cast….<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Gabriel<\/b>\u00a0put it [ Irish brogue]: “There were angels above the set.” [Laughter]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am so, pardon the expression, jazzed about\u00a0“Shade.”<\/b>\u00a0I love playing poker and the description\u00a0“Pulp Fiction meets The Sting”<\/b>… well, deal me in!<\/p>\n
