Exclusive: AITH Joins The Asylum’s Airplane Vs Volcano, Saves Superman!
Feb. 5, 2014 by: JimmyO
It was a moment unlike any other, one that will forever be seeped into my memory. Just stepping outside the lavatory door of a flight headed straight for the depth of hell I found myself faced with a conflict of epic proportions. There I was opposite the tension fueled rage of a dangerous villain with a handful of broken mini bottles held against my neck. At this very moment, I singlehandedly stepped in and risked my life to save Superman from being thrown off of a speeding plane… And then the director yelled cut. As I looked back at my unhinged and incredibly professional co-star, Mr. Dean Cain, I mentioned something along the lines of it being a pleasure saving him. He said with a smile that he thinks he could have handled it without me. To that, I agree.

This was my big scene at The Asylum as part of the cast of their latest action feature AIRPLANE VS. VOLCANO. Yes folks… AIRPLANE VS. VOLCANO! It all began when Jon Kondelik (of the Kondelik Brothers and Dual Visions) approached me about getting an up-close and personal look inside the studio. How could I resist being in a film from the company that gave us SHARKNADO or TRANSMORPHERS! With their offer, I was given the role of “Bob,” a passenger that would ultimately spend a lot of time in the plane bathroom. Once I was sent the script, I memorized my lines – all two of them – and found out exactly how an airplane would possibly be put in a “vs.” situation with a volcano. It didn’t seem like a fair fight at first.

The second I arrived on the Asylum sound stage in Burbank California I was shown to the “airplane” where I would be spending much of my time. Considering the budget of this type of feature, I have to say that the set was far more impressive than I had expected. I was quickly shown where I would be sitting as a passenger. There I was, in the very back row just a few seats away from the film’s star, Dean Cain who was already seated reading a book as they were setting up the next shot. I was offered a prop and I chose a pair of large bulky headphones. After all, when I’m on a plane I prefer to listen to music as opposed to talk to the stranger in the seat next to me. Gotta make it real folks… I’m all about “method.”
