Release problems

The film was originally slated for release in late 2006, but it has been delayed. Although there has been speculation on whether the movie will ever be released, on January 25, 2007, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) revised the project status to "post-production" even though principal photography has yet to be completed.[2] The original IMDb page has been deleted and a new one created, with the title Sin-Jin and a date of 2009. As of 2009, the film has yet to complete principal photography, with some online sources citing a lack of funding.[3] One of the actresses in the film, Eileen Dietz, remarked that the film is "never coming out".[4]

Star Roddy Piper said to Fangoria about the film, "They keep hyping it like it’s gonna come out, and it’s just not finished, and I don’t like the fact that they’re using my name. I was talking to Richard Tyson about it, saying, ‘You know, I’m just gonna pull it off the market.’ But he said, ‘Leave it out there, because you never know—they might come around,’ so we decided to see what the director and his people can do to get it back up. They spent all their money, and they didn’t have a completion bond—so I hear, anyway."[5]

gollark: Well, the interface might not be identical, they could just do similar things.
gollark: Also, there are "legacy algorithms" a bit, when you have to keep something around even though it's bad for backward compatibility and such.
gollark: Maybe there should be those things.
