JOE TUNZI UPDATE - NEW GLADIATORS
- Just about every well known web site, fan club, Elvis dealer, etc. received a letter, FAX, or e mail from lawyers representing the ELVIS PRESLEY ESTATE this week in regards to the NEW GLADIATORS DVD documentary scheduled to come out next month by JAT (Joe Tunzi) PRODUCTIONS.
Basically, EPE's position is that they are the exclusive owner of all rights of this film and demand that all production, advertising, and sales of this be stopped immediately. Joe claims that Wayne Carmen does in fact own the copyright to this documentary and promises a statement anyday on this.
In the meantime, WWE has decided NOT to advertise or sell this DVD until this matter is cleared up and we will keep everyone informed of the status of this as soon as we know something. A statement by Joe could come as early as today!! Joe and Wayne are convinced that they are in the right and contend that the DVD WILL come out! If it doesn't, we will of course refund any money or issue a credit - whichever you prefer - but it has not come down to this yet!!

Thanks
Paul Dowling (13 APR 2001)

Wayne Carman Launches New DVD in the UK

To launch The New Gladiators DVD, Wayne Carman will firstly be visiting the UK as the special guest speaker at the next convention organised by Britain's official Elvis publication - Essential Elvis magazine.
On April 28th, just a few days before the planned release date for the DVD, Wayne will be giving a karate demonstration, talking about Elvis and signing copies of his book and hopefully, he will have some pre-release copies of The New Gladiators with him to sell. The movie itself will be screened on a super large TV and the usual live music, memorabilia stall and prized will be offered as per normal.
Essential Elvis magazine will be going 'karate crazy' too with an in-depth article to include interviews with the stars of the film. Andrew Hearn (editor) has plans to interview Bill Wallace, Red West, Al Holcombe, Dave Hebler and Wayne himself. Recent photographs of Elvis' martial arts buddies will also feature.
Andrew says, "We have been working along side Wayne with the project and it's going to be awesome. I will promise our readers the best price and the most up-to-date service when it comes to providing the DVD. We want to bring the fans this wonderful film just as soon as we can and we're all as excited as Wayne is about it's release."
There's another huge surprise, that's still under wraps, that's being planned exclusively between Wayne and Andrew Hearn of Essential Elvis. "We are hopefully going to offer something special in addition to the DVD but it's still in the planning stages," said Andrew, "It'll please all Elvis fans, that's guaranteed".
Please go to www.essentialelvis.co.uk for more information on Wayne's exclusive visit to the UK or e-mail Andrew for further details on the DVD on elvisfanclub@compuserve.com

The E-newsletter from

"ELVIS,THAT'S THE WAY IT IS" VIDEO/DVD

The TCM premiere of the film was originally scheduled for January 8, 2001 and the video/DVD release was orginally scheduled for January 9, 2001. Both have been delayed for one week to accommodate some additional promotional work that has been planned. The TCM premiere will now be January 15 and the video/DVD release will now be January 16.

Due to unresolved legal complications, the 60 minutes of additional footage planned for inclusion in the DVD will not be part of the 2001 DVD release. We have no details to share regarding this situation other than to tell you that none of these complications involve Graceland/EPE. If ever there is anything to report regarding the status and future of this additional footage we will post information in our news and distribute it via our e-newsletter service. In the meantime we continue to rejoice in the new edition of the film - what it will mean to all of us who will enjoy it and all that it will do to introduce Elvis to new audiences in an exceptionally wonderful way.
