Indican Pictures has targeted Aug. 21 for the DVD rollout of Scottish filmmaker Charles Henri Belleville’s film adaptation of the Simon Lewis pulp thriller, “Go,” which was retitled for the screen as Jet Trash

The film worked the European market with some festival showings to positive buzz and was picked up by Indican Pictures for domestic distribution — both theatrical and home entertainment.   Jet Trash is currently being exhibited in major metro markets (since Apr. 27) by Indican and arrives with an ARR of 116 days. 

Life is good in Goa, India for Welsh slackers Lee (Robert Sheehan — Geostorm, The Road Within, Season of the Witch, etc.) and Sol (Osy Ikhile — The Legend of Tarzan, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Childhood’s End, etc.), who spend their time on the beach getting high and partying.

Life is too short to worry and the boys figure that they’ve found the perfect hideout … so it is hang loose and nooooooo worries!

As the tension builds, the same parties and wave-splashed beaches take on an ominous tone as the trio wait for the all-but-certain arrival of Marlowe and his merry band of killers.

In other home entertainment release news from Indican Pictures, documentary filmmaker Steven Ott’s award-winning American Native will be making its DVD debut on Aug. 28. 

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyThe Ramapough Mountain Indians have been fighting a decades-long struggle to gain recognition from U.S. Federal Government.  It is an interesting look at what is at stake when location, location, location comes into the mix. 

Everyone, it seems, including rival tribes, the local whites and even member of the Ramapough Mountain peoples (with their internal conflicts) have conspired against them.   The why of it becomes fairly obvious, if perhaps purposely unspoken, by those who oppose the recognition of the tribe.   They are just 30 miles from downtown Manhattan!

Imagine Indian gaming in the shadow of Manhattan!   Even their friends seem none too keen on the idea … and if you have enemies opposed to you, it can be a death struggle.
