Method Man You know times have to be hard to get arrested for tax evasion of “only” $32,799. Surely Method Man’s royalties for music still being played on the radio and purchased on iTunes should have been able to save him from arrest. Right? It takes years to get arrested for tax evasion.

Wesley Snipes “Wesley Snipes” will join Bad Lieutenant director Abel Ferrara for Game of Death, a film which likely has nothing at all to do with the Bruce Lee film of the same name. Snipes, who seemed to be at a high a few years ago with a starring role in Blade Trinity, was last seen in the direct to video Art of War II: Betrayal. His career has been rocked by a three-year prison sentence for tax evasion, and he needs a film to get him back on track. Since the details regarding ‘Game of Death’ s plot are sparse, it’s hard to ... Read Full Story

Blade star, Wesley Snipes, is back kicking ass ! this time not as a vampire hunter but rather a bodyguard who must protect a politician from a plethora of assassin baddies in Game of Death . Abel Ferrara will direct the project which will re-team him with Snipes marking their second project since the 1990 cult feature King of New York. The film will also star Robert Davi and Zoe Bell and based off a script from James Agnew. The premise sounds cool but this movie is probably direct-to-dvd fare.
