Hey everyone.
This word just came to me yesterday from a VERY reliable source that John Flanagan of Miami Studios is planning to cast and film a movie called "The Dicks of Hazzard" and to release it while my movie is still in Editing, BEFORE it is allowed to hit the market.
This is not a new tactic for Miami Studios. Many of you recall that he did the same thing with "Ashton's Eleven" when we filmed that. As soon as our movie was in editing, Flanagan had his movie filmed and out within a couple of weeks.
Now, I have no love lost for Flanagan. I have been very open about my dislike for him, his practices and his company. But I have never tried to steal a movie title from him or anyone else just to spite that person or to try and piggyback from their sales.
Needless to say, I own the trademark to "The Dicks of Hazzard", as well as thedicksofhazzard.com.
We are being distributed through White Tiger Releasing and have some very nice write-ups on our movies coming very shortly.
The first post in this forum regarding the name "The Dicks of Hazzard" as our next big movie announcement, complete with pictures of the models who appear in the movie in costume, was made on May 30th, 2006.
I find this action by Miami Studios to be beyond deplorable. I just wanted to let everyone know that "The Dicks of Hazzard" is undeniably an Eon Films production, and any knock-offs from a studio, especially Miami Studios, are not a form of flattery, but of greed and foul intentions to confuse the marketplace in order to handicap our sales.
