?Blade of the King? Indie Production Team Set to Release Concept Trailer

Blade of the King Production Team Charges Ahead Despite Two Other Films About ?Beowulf? In the Works

Both Directors Robert Zemeckis and Sturla Gunnarsson have films about the epic hero Beowulf either in pre or postproduction. Now, From the Flames Productions, an independent film production company, is set to move forward with ?Blade of the King?, a film, which Director William Blesch and company President Mark Sickle hope to bring to theaters despite major competition from the larger studio productions.

Based on an original screenplay by Matt R. Lohr, and which producers Will and Robin Blesch believe is a unique re-telling of the original epic Beowulf poem, ?Blade of the King? is presently in post production on a concept trailer designed to help gain needed investment funds. The trailer was shot in and around Austin and San Antonio, Texas from May through June 2005 with a crew made up largely of former crewmembers of the horror film ?Risen?.

(You can find more on ?Risen? at: http://www.horror.com/php/article-705-1.html and at http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_3804.html.)

Obviously with two other major films being produced, ?Blade of the King? faces stiff competition. However, the time and market are right as evidenced by that very competition. From the Flames Productions chose ?Blade of the King?, an admittedly ambitious, independent and epic story to prove that Austin and in broader terms, the state of Texas is truly about to become the United States? ?third coast.?

From the Flames Productions was founded in early 2004 by Mark T. Sickle and William Blesch to provide high quality entertainment for both the motion picture and television industries.
