Coverage Ink Films' second short, LIBERATOR, premieres Saturday 8/11 at Grauman Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, at the Holly Shorts Film Festival. 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,” he also 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.”
