Biography
A master of several Japanese martial arts, Steven Seagal is a popular action movie hero whose films combine spiritual concepts and social/environmental consciousness with high-voltage violence. Born in Lansing, MI, on April 10, 1951, Seagal traveled to Japan at the age of 17. There, he taught English, studied Zen, and perfected his martial arts, earning black belts in Aikido, karate, judo, and kendo. Afterwards, he became the first Westerner to open a martial arts school in Japan. During this time, Seagal occasionally choreographed fight scenes in movies and coached such stars as Sean Connery and Toshiro Mifune. After awhile he started doing his own movies and his most famous one is probably Under Siege.

Release Date: Unknown; that will depend upon when (if) filming actually does get started.
Cast: Steven Seagal (Casey Ryback); other cast not yet announced.
Premise: This is of course the third film in the series about an extremely over-qualified cook and his ability to be in the right place when bad guys want to do, well, bad things. There is no word yet on what this third film will be about, but what I can tell you is that Seagal will probably play a cook. The first film was on a ship, the second on a train... so the third film will probably be on some other type of conveyance. Jet liner? Space shuttle? Submarine? Bus? Who knows...
