Business Before Prison: Nasso Sticks to His Studio in Variety

Have you seen our green room, Steve? Fuckin' huge! Julius Nasso (L) with ex-partner/extortion victim Steven Seagal

New York film producer/ex-con/"low-key guy" Julius Nasso gets more sweet media love in today's Variety, in which Addie Morfoot has a quickie about Nasso's new Staten Island production facility.

Honestly, The Reeler has been praying for a tour since first hearing about Cinema Nasso Film Studios in August, and I have been wrecked to not receive so much as an e-mail or press release soliciting coverage. So I have been living vicariously through the likes of Morfoot and dessert victim Lloyd Grove, whom, you may remember, Nasso abused like a rented mule last month while chasing publicity for his studio.

This time around, to his credit, Nasso spares Variety the questionable Thug Life 4-Eva stories from his nine months in low-security lock-up. Instead we get a short blueprint of the space where Nasso did a stately pleasure dome decree:

Cinema Nasso will include two feature re-recording stages, an ADR stage with a spacious talent green room, 12 sound editorial/design suites, and 12 DVD audio mastering suites.

Studio is also equipped with living quarters and will only be offered to one film at a time.

"This is not a come-and-go, day-by-day typical editing facility," Nasso said. "We will not have a lot of volume. It is more about more quality than quantity here."

And although I know we have had some trust issues with Nasso in the past, the first title on his list—the Billy Zane/Michael Madsen/Chazz Palminteri "starrer" King of Sorrow—should prove indisputably that quality is indeed Job One. The Reeler salutes him in bringing Staten Island the prestige it deserves.

please this guy is so mobed up it"s not funny.
I can"t believe that a great
news paper like the s.i advance even wrote an artical
on him after my exp. with his
foul stence I can"t believe
these fine actors want to get involved with him.
you could wonder why I am writing this but someone should tell the truth about him. just ask him how he invested my money in one eyed
king so he would not deal with danny prov. every one
gets what's coming to him and need I say more. the proof is in the pudding. I loved when his lawyer told me judge block proofed he's
not involved with mobsters.
yea I always go to lunch with
wise guys. good luck to this creep.
