Wesley Snipes Goes From Daywalker To 'Gallowwalkers'

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Wesley Snipes is back! Well not completely, he’s still in the slammer, serving out his sentence for tax evasion and won’t be a free man until July 19, 2013. In the meantime, his commissary must be getting low because a film he produced before he went in, Gallowwalkers, has resurfaced in order to be sold on the international market.

VMI Worldwitde announced recently that they will be representing the film and showing it off to the European Film Market, and in the Berlin International Film Festival, hoping to sell Gallowwalkers to film distributors all over the world.

In order to spark some interest, VMI worldwide released this new poster featuring Wesley Snipes.

Gallowwalkers tells the story of a mysterious gunman, Aman (Snipes), the son of a nun, who breaks her covenant with God to ensure his survival. Her break with God curses her son to be hunted by all those who die by his hand. When he takes revenge on a gang that murdered his love, the gang rises as a cursed crew of undead warriors and hunt him mercilessly, seeking their “dying” revenge.

The film is directed and written by Andrew Goth and Joanne Ray. Courtney Lauren Penn and Brandon Burrows of Boundless Pictures produced the western along with Jack Bowyer, who is also the executive producer.

There’s even a trailer for Gallowwalkers online, but this is a three-year-old version and I will predict that a new trailer will be released in the coming weeks. Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
