Ex-ICED EARTH/DEATH Drummer's Directorial Debut To Be Screened In New York City
May 16, 2007Acclaimed heavy metal drummer Richard Christy (ex-ICED EARTH, DEATH, LEASH LAW, CONTROL DENIED),who currently works for "The Howard Stern Show", has issued the following update:
"I'm really excited because on Saturday, June 2nd at The Two Boots Pioneer Theater in New York City, my directorial film debut, 'Evil Ned 3 -The Return of Evil Ned 2 - Electric Boogaloo', is being shown as part of a double feature along with the horror classic 'Evil Dead'! I made 'Evil Ned' when I lived in Springfield, Missouri in 1995 and I have to warn you beforehand, I had no idea what in the hell I was doing! But for all of its technical flaws there are many crazy things in this film that will make you either laugh or cry! This film was made for about 250 dollars, 200 of which was spent on beer, and it is the epitome of low-budget! If you're into beer, dirty magazines, huge hog testicles, gay monsters, Amish erotica, and evil talking ducks, then you'll love this movie! The screening starts at 11 p.m. and I hope to see you all there! Here's a link to info about the theater and to buy tickets."
Richard Christy was recently cast in the upcoming comedy "Harold & Kumar 2" (IMDb). "I filmed my parts in February and had a blast!" Richard previously said. "The movie is going to be hilarious so please check it out when it comes to a theater near you!"
According to the film's official plot outline, "Harold & Kumar 2" "follows the cross-country adventures of the pot-smoking duo as they try to outrun authorities who suspect them of being terrorists when they try to sneak a bong on board their flight to Amsterdam."
Christy has played in many bands, including ICED EARTH, BURNING INSIDE, DEATH and CONTROL DENIED. Christy joined DEATH after meeting their leader Chuck Schuldiner in a bookstore while the band was looking for a new drummer after the departure of Gene Hoglan. Christy recorded three albums with DEATH (the critically-acclaimed "The Sound of Perseverance", released in 1998; "Live in L.A. (Death & Raw)", 2001; and "Live in Eindhoven", also 2001) and one album with CONTROL DENIED, "The Fragile Art of Existence", which came out in 1999.
