Each 8-10 minute installment will be released over the course of 10 days, and the whole feature will subsequently be released on DVD in its entirety.

TRAILER

Then on [October 9th] I start work on a new movie called Angel of Death. Not the Angel of Death from Hellboy II, the Angel of Death played by [Grindhouse’s] Zoe Bell. She’s kind of a mafia hit woman and I play a mafia doctor. I’m the one who patches her up. So I’ve got three pivotal scenes in the script with her. I’m a doctor who does all of this under the table, off the record patching up of mafia folk, and I’m on heroin.
