Delgo
While I haven’t had the pleasure or
displeasure of watching Delgo, it is notoriously known as one of the
very lowest grossing movies from a wide release in ages. The movie wasn’t received well either by
critics either. It currently has a 12%
on Rotten Tomatoes.
The other thing the movie is infamous
for is that it took forever to make the movie.
It went into development in 1999, and Freestyle Releasing distributed it
in December 12, 2008.
Freestyle Releasing deleted any mention
of distribution rights around Delgo. There is nothing about
Delgo on their website.
The biggest problem with the movie other
than the bad pre-PS3 graphics is the fact they hired Freddie Prince Jr. as the
lead role. Freddie at this point is complete box office poison. Director Lexi
Alexander from Punisher: War Zone mentioned in a podcast that the studio wanted
Freddie Prince Jr. to read for Jigsaw, and he was amazing in the audition. Lexi
wanted him for the role, but the studio said “no way”. They wanted him to read
for the part for studio politics, but knew enough to never have him in the
film.
Then, there
was the talk about Avatar having similarities to
Delgo. And, there was talk of a lawsuit by Marc F. Adler.
