CHARACTERS |
| Shot down in cold blood, left for
dead - they should've assumed better. Hitman Vance Derricks has been
betrayed by the very crime syndicate he swore loyalty to for years, and
he doesn't know why. All he knows is that they screwed up, and now,
against the passive advice of martial artist friend Jack Campbell, Vance
is gonna make sure they're all gonna pay in blood. Crime boss Ennis
Jackson order the hit on Derricks, and when he finds out that his new number
one gun - the short temper opportunist Simon Kreese - has failed, the hired
guns come out of the woodwork.
Each hunting down Derricks for their own personal gain,
whether or not they care why he's wanted dead. Italian crime boss
Toni Bartolucci sends the dangerous Benedetto Brothers after a lucrative
drug deal went south with Ennis Jackson, hoping Derricks' dead body delivered
by him will mend their partnership. Simon Kreese can't allow Derricks
to live for reasons that clearly make him paranoid, and burns his short
fuse even shorter. He also gains seductive motivation from the mysterious
Valerie Silver. Meanwhile, one of Jackson's lower grade hitmen -
David Alec Swann - persues his own secretive, subversive motives in this
game between Kreese & Derricks. Being targeted from so many sides,
and with so many cold blooded, dishonorable killers gunning for him, Vance
Derricks will need more than just luck to survive. |

THE
CAST & CREW |
[10.5.07]
• Scripting for the extended remake of Vengeance
has been going on for a while, and what was originally a 25 page script
is now 60+ page script! Nine characters have been added, and stronger
ties are added to Kill Or Be Killed with David Alec Swann having
a very talkative, intriguing role in the film now. Extra fights have
been scripted, and the series of events leading to the climax have been
changed. Not to mention, most of the dialogue in the climax has been
re-written for better character depth, dramatic tension, and story progression.
Ennis Jackson's character has been expanded in giving him more depth, and
showing more sides of his personality than just a pissed off, ranting crime
lord. The Benedetto Brothers appear in two extra scenes, and Lucas
Blackmore's role has been expanded upon with more dialogue and extra scenes.
At this point, Tom Stone has stated his desire to return as Craven Danvers,
and I'm sure Glenn Allen can be brought back as Lucas Blackmore.
Beyond that, nothing can even be speculating upon. If Jonathan Vukelich
cannot be reacquired for this remake, it will be a disappointing blow to
the film, but it will not prevent it from being made. I do know for
certain that I will not reprise the role of Snake Russell - I'm confident
that there are actors out there who could do far more with the role than
I ever tried to. Oh, and one last thing that's been added - a bigger
body count. Vance Derricks gets to kill even more people in this
version of Vengeance. |
