		<description><![CDATA[After taking a look at the trailer for &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces 2: Assassins&#8217; Ball&#8221;, you can&#8217;t help but agree with Universal: yeah, this is definitely not theatrical worthy stuff here. If anything, it looks like your run-of-the-mill direct-to-DVD action movie, the kind that usually stars Wesley Snipes and shot around the bombed out looking streets of some unnamed Eastern European country. Here&#8217;s the first trailer for the Joe Carnahan-produced (but not directed or really written by, disappointingly enough) prequel to his moderate hit &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221;. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Assassins&#8217; Ball&#8221;, and it&#8217;s about bad guys, more bad guys, and even more bad guys trying to kill some guy played by Tom Berenger. Basically, watch it for the exploding bodies and never mind that whole empathy thing.

		<description><![CDATA[Well this is kind of a surprise. Joe Carnahan&#8217;s follow-up to his ensemble hitman movie &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221;, since retitled, &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces 2: Assassins&#8217; Ball&#8221; is heading straight to DVD. Universal Studios Home Entertainment is releasing the film under their Universal’s DVD Originals banner. The sequel, which Carnahan contributed parts of the story, but didn&#8217;t direct or script, will blast its way onto Blu-ray, standard DVD and be available for digital downloading January 19, 2010. Specs and cover art for the DVD release below.
Federal agents once again match wits with a cadre of creative killers in the high-octane feature-length film Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball.  Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) is an unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him. A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey (Martha Higareda), a power-tool [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last time we heard from Smokin&#8217; Joe and his prequel to his hitman-a-thon flick &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221;, it was more than a year ago, when Joe told fans of via his blog that the studio &#8220;flipped&#8221; for his script, which means they liked it. At least, that&#8217;s what they told him. If you&#8217;ve followed Hollywood for any length of time, you&#8217;ll come to realize that studios always &#8220;love&#8221; a script &#8212; at least until they bring someone else to rewrite it. That just comes with the territory. So, it was no surprise that more than a year after the studio &#8220;flipped&#8221; for Carnahan&#8217;s script, we&#8217;ve just now gotten word from Smokin&#8217; Joe himself that the prequel to &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221; has finally been given the greenlight to go ahead with production.
Say it&#8217;s so, Joe:
Guys:
Finally, some actual &#8216;Smokin Aces&#8217; news. Universal has officially greenlit the prequel and we are underway. Cameos will abound. Trust me.
JC
Cameos will abound. Got it. 
Word is, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at his blog, Smokin Joe Carnahan has updated the fanbase on news regarding his upcoming &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221; sequel, which, from what we&#8217;ve heard, will be a prequel of sorts. According to Joe: &#8220;They flipped for the script. Not a single note. Not that we can&#8217;t get in there and really do some story work and fine tuning but it looks pretty damn good right now. I&#8217;d love to find a way to work our regulars into cameos in the flick. I&#8217;ve put my mind to this and we&#8217;ll devise something slick to give some camera love to the loyalists.&#8221;
The first movie followed a gaggle of hitmen converging on a hotel to do some killin&#8217;. I&#8217;m guessing the prequel will involve just as many hitmen doing some killin&#8217; and what have you.
Fans will be able to catch the prequel when it hits DVD.

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Carnahan, or as he likes to call himself, &#8220;Smokin&#8217;&#8221; Joe Carnahan, has updated his fans on the state of his &#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221; sequel via his site. No shocker that it&#8217;ll be a prequel instead, and it has been greenlit by the studio based on the strength of a plot outline. Says Joe: &#8220;So Universal has given us the greenlight to begin the prequel script and done so with great enthusiasm. They were as adamant about NOT doing a prequel as I was about doing one but since the Nigerians NAILED the outline, they all got hipped and jumped at it. If all bodes well, we&#8217;ll have a completed script inside 8 weeks and be shooting 10 weeks later.&#8221;
Good news? Bad news? Indifferent news?
&#8220;Smokin&#8217; Aces&#8221; was a nice little actioner, but as I mentioned in my review of it (here), the film, and just everything about it, was at least 5 or so years too late to the party. It [...]]]></description>
