Aslan International is pleased to announce the upcoming release of "The Beatnicks," starring Norman Reedus, Mark Boone Junior, Elodie Bouchez, Eric Roberts, Patrick Bauchau and Jon Gries. Find our what is in the Box on Spring Equinox (March 20th, 2008).

The BeatNicks are musician Nick Nero (Norman Reedus) and poet Nick Beat (Mark Boone Junior.), a pair of misfits with bad fortune looking for a gig. Their luck begins to change when they find a box on the beach, a treasure chest of infinite beats that will set the stage for the ultimate success, a gig at the Monkey Club. But when Nick Nero falls in love with Nica (Elodie Bouchez), the club owner’s (Eric Roberts) captive bride, he learns there are some truths better left unsought. Hard knocks and a trip to rock bottom reunite the Nicks to perform the gig of a lifetime, and return the box to its source.

This film was completed in 2002 and presented to the market at that time and was not released on the festival circuit. After some initial struggles the filmmakers managed to find French distribution. The film was then invited to several festivals throughout the world (Cuba, Canada, US, Czech Republic) and has since remained unreleased in the US, until now.

Updates available on the myspace blog.

And remember: Reality is a box within a box within a box.
