So, for those wondering what Kurtis Spieler is up to, he still works at Vinegar Symdrome but also makes his own films. He's more into atmospheric horror films. His latest film, The Dead Girl in Apartment 03, starring the original final girl of the Friday the 13th films, Adrienne King, as a detective, is coming out tomorrow on Digital. I was lucky enough to have gotten an interview with Spieler about his new film but we did talk a bit about New York Ninja as well. He wants to find more "unfinished" films and edit/finish them, with the hopes to find one in horror.

For authenticity, I hope that the pages were randomized, the speech bubbles made blank, and given to a second writer to complete.

The blog directs you to actual scans of newspaper articles as sources (La Vanguardia which is one of Spain's major dailies and Catalan's biggest papers). The article states that Liu had an "accomplice" a Spanish man named Antonio Pérez Seguí who helped John Liu procure the "young fresh new acting talent" for his so called martial arts action films (which turned out to be cheaply shot porno films in Taiwan) and that Liu also posed as royalty, a prince of his own island to try to convince girls to marry him in return they would be granted royal status and ascension to the throne.

sounds similar to Amsterdam Connection when Fannie thought she was going to Europe to film instead she ended up being forced to prostitution (thats sadly a movie plot that can happen irl)
