Tim Doyle was asked by Matt Dye of Blunt Graffix to create a poster for the Bijou Metro’s screening of Robocop!
From Doyle- “Robocop is by far one of the most influential films in my little life. I saw it in the theater in 1987 when I was merely 10 years old, and it completely rewired my brain in new and dark ways. And I thank Paul Verhoven for it every single day of my life. Listening to Verhoven’s commentary, he pointed out that for him- Robocop is a Jesus allegory, calling it ‘The American Jesus.’ And in keeping with great American traditions, this Titanium Jesus raises from the grave not for forgiveness, but for revenge. It’s a bloody mess, and brilliant social satire that has yet to be eclipsed in my opinion. The design is obviously lifted from Dali’s Crucifixion Hypercubus- my favorite film meets my favorite Crucifixion depiction.

Chicago – Daryl Hannah is a passionate activist. The actress and environmentalist is spreading the word regarding the dangers of the Keystone Pipeline, among other hot topics at the recent Health Freedom Expo in Chicagoland. She also has a new movie in limited release opening on July 12th entitled “The Hot Flashes.”
The actress was born in Chicago, attending the local Francis W. Parker School. She made her 1978 film debut in the Brian De Palma horror movie, “The Fury,” which was filmed in Chicago. After appearing in the classic sci-fi movie, “Blade Runner” (1982), she took off as a mermaid-out-of-water in “Splash” (1984). That began a procession of hit movies throughout the 1980s and ‘90s including “Roxanne” (1987), Wall Street (1987), “Steel Magnolias” (1989) and “The Little Rascals” (1994). Most recently, she’s appeared in the British horror film, “Eldorado” (2012), and is featured in the 2013 film “The Hot Flashes,...

Producer of feature starring Hollywood and UK talent guilty of £1.5m ($2.3m) fraud.
The producer and director of horror-musical Eldorado, starring former Dr Who Sylvester McCoy, Darryl Hannah, David Carradine and the voice of Peter O’Toole, has been found guilty of a £1.5m Vat fraud.
As reported by This is Cornwall, Southwark Crown Court heard on Tuesday how Richard Driscoll, who ran a studio in Redruth, Cornwall, falsified invoices for the costs of making Eldorado and two other films (Watchmen Hellgate and Back2Hell) in order to reclaim Vat and set up a number of associated companies that were used to commit the offences.
The claims for repayment of £1.5 million Vat was based on production costs of more than £9m ($14m) but investigators found that the costs were actually less than £1m ($1.6m).
Bogus invoices were sent to support the false repayment claims. Other invoices were genuine but had their values inflated.

Cornish businessman Richard Driscoll is facing a possible prison sentence after being convicted of tax evasion related to the Film Tax Credit Fund. The 54-year-old was found to have claimed false Vat rebates after lying about the cost of three projects which included Eldorado, starring Daryl Hannah and narrated by Peter O'Toole.
The final film to star David Carradine, who was found dead in a Thai hotel room shortly after his scenes were shot, Eldorado also features Michael Madsen, Brigitte Nielsen, Jeff Fahey, Steve Guttenberg and former Doctor Who Sylvester McCoy. It's roughly based on an Edgar Allen Poe poem but also features a Blues Brothers tribute band, a strip club owner's wife on the run and a town full of cannibals. It was due to be released in 2012 but sales company Fantastic Films International reports that it never received it.
Driscoll, who also starred in the film himself, claimed.

Madsen To Star In 29 Films
Actor Michael Madsen is working extra hard to solve his money worries - he's set to release a staggering 29 movies this year.
The Reservoir Dogs star is listed as having a role in almost 30 films due to hit screens in 2011, including Black Gold, Loosies, Eldorado, 513, Garbage, Men Don't Lie, Road Raiders, and The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.
In many of the movies, Madsen takes the lead role.
And the huge haul is good news for the actor's finances - he's been hit with a string of cash woes in recent years, filing for bankruptcy in 2009 and reportedly owing thousands of dollars in personal loans from Hollywood pals.

Now let me just say that I have looked everywhere. iMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Wikipedia... and they all seem to confirm that this is a real movie with a real release plan and a real budget. After watching the, er, trailer below... I'm still not so sure, and I don't think you will be either. The film boasts stars Peter O'Toole, Daryl Hannah, Brigitte Neilsen, David Carradine, and Jeff Fahey, and it's a comedy/horror/musical. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Watch the trailer for Eldorado and comment below... Oh, it's also going to be in 3D. Get ready.

If someone told you about the existence of a British musical shot in 3D starring Michael Madsen, Steve Guttenberg, Daryl Hannah, Jeff Fahey, Brigitte Nielsen and the late, great David Carradine, you would have every right in the world to call them a liar. Surely no such thing exists -- if there is a God, he wouldn't allow such things to happen.
Well, seeing truly is believing: After the jump we've provided a trailer for your viewing, er, pleasure, proving that 'Eldorado' is a real movie and not a fever-induced nightmare that was born in the midst of a painful, troubled sleep.
Strippers. Neo-Nazis wrestling. Bloody deaths by chainsaw. Car chases. Kung-fu battles in caves. Two lead characters called "The Jews brothers." Wild West hillbillies. Crooked cops. Jeff Fahey prancing about while singing in an accent that sounds vaguely Italian. Menacing bikers. An evil clown puppet.

Daryl Hannah, Steve Guttenberg, Michael Madsen, Brigitte Nielsen, David Carradine, Jeff Fahey, and Bill Moseley. The genre? A live action 3D comedy/horror/musical/road movie. See? Wtf, indeed.

Fantastic Films seems to be on a roll in the horror genre as they are set to release Eldorado. A film that might be more of a parody than horror there are strippers, Neo-Nazi fundraisers, and a blues band known as The Jews Brothers. If that is not enough for you Eldorado will be shown in 3-D and show off the talents, for the last time, of David Carradine. Have a look at the hilarious synopsis below.
