Tony Hiles' JACK BROWN GENIUS is finally getting a US release tomorrow. This is the first film Peter Jackson produced (and co-wrote) outside of his own films way back in 1994 and Hiles was a contributor on BAD TASTE. Also of interest because Timothy Balme, lead of Jackson's BRAINDEAD, is the titular character.

| A thousand years ago in England, the crazy monk Elmer (Stuart Devenie) wears a pair of wings and tries to fly from a high tower. He dies, and his soul is doomed to an eternity in hell for committing suicide. Now, in New Zealand, Elmer has one last chance to prove that men can fly and save his soul: his spirit enters into the mind of a very intelligent inventor, Jack Brown (Timothy Balme), and forces him to try to fly. Jack uses his latest creation, an amplifier in a tape recorder, to help him succeed in the attempt, but his invention is coveted by his former boss and his lover, who want to sell it to a Chinese investor. |
