LOU FERRIGNO’S NEW SHORT FILM “LIBERATOR” SET FOR WORLD PREMIERE AT
HOLLYSHORTS FILM FESTIVAL
Los Angeles, CA August 7, 2012---Fans of “The Hulk” are storming the internet for tickets to HollyShorts as Lou Ferrigno’s new short film LIBERATOR (www.liberatormovie.com),
a 20-minute action-packed presentation pilot starring the original
Incredible Hulk, is set for its world premiere this Saturday August 11
at the HollyShorts Film Festival in Hollywood (www.hollyshorts.com).
To celebrate the premiere, the producers Coverage Ink Films are
releasing the final posters and artwork for the project. The screening
takes place at 6:30pm at Grauman’s Chinese 6. The producers and cast
that are attending will be available for Q&A following the
screening.
LIBERATOR
stars Lou Ferrigno as a disgraced, washed-up ex-superhero whose secret
black ops past comes back to haunt him as he tries to put his life back
together. Like the LIBERATOR character, the heat is also on Ferrigno, as
he was recently on NBC’s “The Apprentice,” helped voice “The Hulk” in
this summer’s box office smash “The Avengers,” and continues to pack
them in at fan conventions around the world.
LIBERATOR
features an all-star genre cast including: the stunning Peta Wilson
(“La Femme Nikita”) as CIA spook Marla Criswell, Michael Dorn (“Star
Trek: The Next Generation”) as General Augustus Pollard, Jessica Jade
Andres as Liberator’s estranged daughter Sonya, martial arts star Don
“The Dragon” Wilson as Sidewinder, Tara Cardinal as Gaia, Darwin Harris
as Duke, and the legendary Edward Asner (“Up”) as President Whitlock.
“After
months of anticipation the fans will get what they’ve been waiting for,
the world premiere of LIBERATOR,” said Jim Cirile, the film’s co-writer
and Executive Producer. “LIBERATOR is a superhero geek’s dream come
true, grounded in a reality we’ll all recognize—our own. This is a very
real world and a very real, and all-too-human, man. It’s the performance
of Ferrigno’s lifetime. I think everyone will be impressed by the
performance.”
Added
Director Aaron Pope: "Launching a new superhero franchise without a
comic label behind us and without money is a nearly impossible task, but
from the amazing cast to the dedicated crew, no one blinked, no one
wavered. They put everything they had out there, especially our
incredible cast. It's extremely satisfying to finally be able to show
everyone the fruits of our labor."
Jim
Cirile is the film’s co-writer and Executive Producer. Aaron Pope is
co-writer and Director. Former Marvel Comics Art Director Darren Auck
created the film’s comic art prologue and graphic novel artist Gerry
Kissell ("Code Word: Geronimo") illustrated the film's closing sequence.
SyFy Channel’s “Hollywood Treasure” co-host Jesse D’Angelo designed the
Liberator suit. The film features an original orchestral score by Tim
Wynn, perhaps best known for scoring the hit video game “Red Faction:
Guerrilla.”
