It doesnt appear to have been released.[1] Dante Tomaselli says he will return to working on this, but doesnt cite any sources. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 07:24, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the IMDb page mentioned here no longer exists. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 07:29, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to Dante Tomaselli. Agreed, the film was never released. Until such time as it is ever released and receives coverage meriting a stand-alone article, and as there was coverage of its planning and production,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] it serves Wikipedia to have it at the director's article. As a sidenote, I think it hilarious that Lindsay Lohan was in talks to be in the film.[11] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:49, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The film fails to meet any of the criteria set out at WP:NOTFILM and WP:NFF. I would be satisfied enough and !vote keep had I been able to find any reliable sources attesting that the film ever began principal photography but I was unable to find such sources. As it stands, this seemed to have been a planned project which never became a film and, as such, I don't consider it worthy of inclusion. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 19:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My own thought above is that while not meriting a stand-alone, it does have (just) enough coverage to be worth a few sourced sentences placed in historical context of his career in the director's article, hence the merge/redirect. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Dante Tomaselli, per User:MichaelQSchmidt. --Pink Bull 05:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
