The Continuum has obtained 20 promotional images from Man-Thing,
the live-action movie based on the Marvel Comics character
that will premiere on Sci Fi Channel on April 30.
The film, from Lions Gate and Marvel, was shot during eight
weeks last year in Sydney, Australia for a small budget and
was originally scheduled for a theatrical release last August.
Man-Thing was directed by Brett Leonard and written by Han
Rodionoff, who also wrote Marvel's recent Man-Thing comics
mini-series.
The cast of Man-Thing includes Matthew Le Nevez, Rachel Taylor,
Jack Thompson, Rawiri Paratene, Patrick Thompson and Steve
Bastoni.
Here's how Sci Fi describes the film:
"Angry conflicts arise between an oil tycoon developer
and the Seminole Indians who are being pushed out of their
ancestral homelands. When construction crewmembers start turning
up dead, law enforcement immediately suspects the Seminoles.
But further investigation points to the swamp creature know
as Man-Thing, a dangerous entity that feeds off human emotion
and literally burns those who know fear."
The film is expected to be released on DVD in its complete
R-rated version, possibly as early as June. However, a Lions
Gate representative told The Continuum it does not have an
official release date yet.
