Nine Miles Down
No time to rest

Adrian has just finished filming “Captain Drake” in Bulgaria with all reports saying that the shoot has gone exceptionally well. Adrian himself is particularly excited by this ‘comedic drama’, which is due for release on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2008. 

Adrian then heads almost immediately to his next project, the supernatural suspense movie, “Nine Miles Down”. The film went into pre-production and preliminary shooting last year but Adrian 's central role commences filming in January. Set in the Arabian Desert, the exterior scenes will actually be shot in the striking landscape of Tunisia with the interiors being filmed in Budapest, Hungary.

"I'm really glad the film's moving forward," Adrian exclusively tells www.adrianpaul.net . "I love the idea of a story that explores not only the obvious and mysterious threats in a character's immediate environment, but the internal obstacles they must also overcome. As an actor, it's always interesting to play characters who are conflicted and have issues to solve.”

The film is directed by Anthony Waller, who also wrote and directed “An American Werewolf in Paris” and, the highly-acclaimed thriller, “Mute Witness” with Marina Sudina and Sir Alec Guinness (in his penultimate role). “Nine Miles Down” also stars Kate Nauta (“The Game Plan” and “Transporter II”).

adrianpaul.net is pleased to announce another new movie role for Adrian as he takes the lead in "EYEBORGS."

"The script is really quite good and I am always happy to support independent films because they can sometimes surprise you with the depth of the material," said Adrian.

"This topic is very current in many ways. For instance, in the United Kingdom there are at present about 1.5 million surveillance cameras. So I ask myself, where will it end or what will it turn into? I love current topics or historical material."

The film, which will be shot in 35mm in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, will co-star Dan Trejo, Megan Blake and Lucas Elliott.

SYNOPSIS: Following the Introduction of the Freedom of Observation Act, the vast array of separate private and public surveillance cameras throughout America are united to form the Optical Defense Intelligence Network - ODIN and the Department of Homeland Security introduces the latest weapon in the war on terror.... EYEBORGS.

Gunner (played by Adrian Paul), an agent for the Department, uncovers a plot to assassinate the President. But his investigation is plagued by brutal murders and untimely accidents. Beginning his investigation of the Eyeborg's powerful surveillance system, he comes to believe that he is under the control of an unknown enemy. He soon realizes the truth: that ODIN is running everything and he now must save both himself and the President from a system that can follow and kill you anywhere.

Snowfall Films have advised that they are still negotiating a North American sale and therefore cannot advise a release date as yet.  Frustrating?  You bet.  As WINNER of the 2006 Shockerfest Award for "Best Movie", WINNER of "Best Dramatic Feature" at the Eureka Springs Digital Film Festival and a FINALIST in Horror Fest UK 2006 it doesn't disappoint.  Snowfall Films might be slightly biased but their view? "...It's such a good film and you're so wonderful in it....". 

As soon as we are advised of a release date you will see it here.
