June 2008
"
He [Dolph] optioned it, but decided not to make it and let the option expire. It is more complex than his usual action fare. My partner and I explained that this was his "Clint Eastwood" chance, an opportunity to expand his acting and make a film that had more character development and story substance. This is the reason he was originally interested, but also the reason he ultimately didn't follow through.

Dolph was in an acting class taught by my writing partner." screenwriter Daniel Yost

September 2007
"I am one of a few producers on this project. And, it is shaping up quite well in fact I think you will be very pleased with the results" from co-producer Ron Timmons

December 2006
"Double or Nothing", starring and directed by Dolph Lundgren, written by Sal Landi and James Chalke (Dolph's partner), and produced by ex-NYPD cop Bob DeBrino ("Find Me Guilty"), should be a new departure for Dolph and a new breakthrough!

It is with pleasure that I talked with Bob DeBrino (after he just spoke with Dolph!), the producer of "Double or Nothing" who's ambition is none other than to make Dolph a respectable actor and talented storyteller as a director.

Debrino, who produced brilliant Sidney Lumet latest "Find Me Guilty" (which had a great praise), is keen on doing with Dolph what he did with Vin Diezel ([url]http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/oscars/env-et-mobmovie29nov29,0,7615069.story?page=1[/url]), who's currently running up for an Oscar nomination.

"Double or Nothing" will see Dolph "entering a new spectrum", says DeBrino who shows as much excitment about this project and working with Dolph as I do. DeBrino is very keen on marketing the film right and get new audiences for Dolph as well as his fan base.

Now, the film will not be an ass kicking shoot'em up flick but a hard-core drama where Dolph Lundgren will show once and for all his tremendous potential, both as an actor and a film director, and maybe we can hope for a theatrical release!

I don't have filming dates yet and "Double or Nothing" hasn't started filming yet but it is in the works. Dolph is in LA (doing some promotion for Rocky?!) and a meeting with him is scheduled this friday at BDE Entertainment to discuss it.
