There’s a lot of human trafficking going on with Ara Paiaya’s “Skin Traffik.” Mainly, it’s with the casting announcements.
Raging Pictures announced several known actors joining the cast of “Skin Traffik,” including Mickey Rourke, Daryl Hannah, Eric Roberts, Michael Madsen, Gary Daniels, Jeff Fahey, Dominique Swain and Alan Ford.
“Skin Traffik” immerses the viewer into the inhuman world of human trafficking as it allows a jaded hit man to regain his humanity in this dark tale of redemption and sacrifice. It is set amidst a brutal underworld in which daily survival is not so much a skill, but an instinct.
The project is helmed by Paiaya, who is a cult film director known for his unique action filmmaking skills. He is best known for 2011’s “The Suppressor.”
The soundtrack will feature music by Keaton Simons (“NCIS: Los Angeles”).
It is currently in production in Los Angeles.

Eric Roberts has been in front of cameras for much of his life, but his extensive career as an actor didn't prepare him for what he calls the "very exposing" experience of being on a reality show.
"It's like riding public transportation in your not-clean underwear," Roberts told Zap2it Saturday (April 9) at the Reality Rocks Expo. "It's very exposing, it's frightening, and it's awkward. It's especially awkward if you've been an actor your whole life. ... I've done almost 100 plays and almost 200 films, so all I know is acting. So then I'm told this is a different kind of acting -- and yes, it is. It's not acting; it's reacting to whatever circumstance they put you into. And it's frightening."
Roberts was on the most recent season of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab," which helped him kick a long-time marijuana habit and also helped facilitate a better relationship with his stepson,...

Actor Eric Roberts and his estranged stepson, singer/songwriter Keaton Simons, are creating sweet music together after patching up their differences on reality TV in America.
Simons left the home he shared with his mother Eliza and Roberts when he was 16 after a drug-fuelled argument with the actor, during which he attacked his stepfather with a baseball bat and broke his ribs.
The two had not spoken since the fight - until Roberts taped the current season of Celebrity Rehab and Simons agreed to come face to face with his stepfather.
Prior to the tense meeting, Simons sat down with Celebrity Rehab host and counsellor Dr. Drew Pinsky to explain what led to the estrangement.
He revealed, "With Eric, it got pretty crazy... We formed a drug bond over marijuana... He introduced me to it in a real way... (and) I was getting drugs for him and he'd get mad at me because I was ripping him off... It started to get dangerous.
"I saw a lot of angry things. He was very unpredictable and I thought very unsafe and one time we got into a fight... With him it was mostly challenges... and insulting me.
"One night I was playing music way too loud for that late hour and he came upstairs and was screaming... I went out and I got a bat... and I hit him in his ribs and broke his ribs and then I punched him and hit him in the head and then I left. He was still taunting me when I left."
And Simons told Dr. Drew he was reluctant about meeting his stepfather, who was trying to break his marijuana habit in rehab: "It's hard for me to be compassionate to him in his condition. I don't really care if he gets better or not."
But the pair quickly made amends and Roberts insists his stepson is now a big part of his life.
The actor explains, "We're great. We speak several times a day every day now. We're back to the same closeness we had before we had difficulties. It's really wonderful.
"He wrote the music for a movie I did called The Novelist and he wrote music for Celebrity Rehab and also for a show called Grace."
Asked about his stint on Celebrity Rehab, Roberts - the brother of actress Julia and father of Emma - states, "Celebrity Rehab was quite an endurance test and it let me know that everything comes a step at a time."...

Rediscovering Roberts
Eric Roberts never really left, but 2009 audiences are learning (or relearning) the charms of the actor Mickey Rourke has called the best he ever worked with.
By Terry Keefe
(This article is currently appearing in this month's Venice Magazine.)
“Eric Roberts is the [expletive deleted] Man,” proclaimed Mickey Rourke at this past year’s Independent Spirit Awards, while accepting his trophy for Best Male Lead, at the very beginning of a speech which then saw him singling out Roberts, his one-time co-star in 1984’s The Pope of Greenwich Village, as someone who was worthy of a comeback like Rourke had with The Wrestler. From the audience, Roberts himself watched his friend at the podium with what looked to be a combination of embarrassment at being mentioned and some pleasure at the same, finally throwing it back at Rourke by shouting good-naturedly, “Accept your award!” For...
