Urgency (Fast Track), Abductee in this indie thriller (2009)

Yes I can see Lucci playing that shy little school girl raised by nuns suddenly awaking too her inner desire to..... "Party Hardy"!

Yeah, she could do that. Now we only need a producer, a writer and whoever else you need to make a movie.

Imagine my surprise when I stumbled over the release schedule of Australia-based distributor Peacock Films. Apparently, Urgency will be released on DVD (Region 4) in November. Finally! The year-long wait is almost over! Let's hope we'll soon hear about releases in Region 1 (North America) and Region 2 (Europe), too.


Peacock Films' Urgency page includes a trailer (mostly consisting of scenes we've seen before) as well as the following preview of the DVD cover:

Obviously, we would have loved to see her face on the DVD jacket, but a DVD cover featuring Luciana is pretty cool nonetheless. Please note that she's billed third, right after fellow genre veterans Brian Austin Green ("Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles") and Jeffrey Combs ("Star Trek", "The 4400"). Apart from short Passageway, this is Luciana's best billing to date.

It's wonderful to have a release date (well, at least the month) for the movie. I can wait these two months.

Oh mannn...more obscure regions for me! I just bought Parasomnia on R2 because it's not out here yet!

Thanks for the info! Here's hoping it actually does come out then.

Don't want to burst any bubbles, but Lucci isn't in that much of the film, although she is in several key scenes.

Thanks for the heads up! It's not the first time a role of hers turned out smaller than we originally thought. Anyway, watching her in an unusual role and in unusual situations will be enough.

Oh, and I just found a AICN news item from October 2003:

Weird, huh? I had no idea this project was conceived such a long time ago. Barry Levy is probably the real name of Barry Louis, the writer actually credited for Urgency (Urgency is Louis' only project on IMDb). In case you haven't heard of Jeremy Haft: His latest movie was about "an unattractive girl, who is picked on by her peers, and who returns after her death as a sexy seductress to exact revenge".

...and of course I also look forward to cute or tense BAG/Lucci and Jeff/Lucci scenes

Thanks for the heads up! It's not the first time a role of hers turned out smaller than we originally thought. Anyway, watching her in an unusual role and in unusual situations will be enough.

Yeah, you guys will love it no matter what. I mean, Jeff's been in a few films for less than 2 minutes and I still watch and love them!

Lucci looks very pretty in this film, too. That's one thing I remember well.

Get ready to do the

I just got an email from Peacock that states Urgency will be released on November 18th!!!!!



The woman is looking into which places will carry it for me now, so I'll hopefully have that info soon.

WOOOO!!!!

ETA: Damnit!!! They will not sell the DVD outside of Australia!!! But there are ways around this, because I have a Jeff Aus DVD sitting behind me now... Will keep you posted.

Thanks. I would love to get my hands on this DVD, so hopefully there is a way for non-Australians to get it. But at least we have proper release date now!

Australia? Whats up with that?

I have not the slightest idea why it's released in Australia and not in the US or Europe. Probably some company there was just a bit quicker in securing the rights and made it a higher priority on their schedule.

This does happen. I have a boxset of a TV series Jeff was on that was ONLY released in Australia on DVD! Just weird. It never has been released in any other country.

Hey all,

I crossposted the info about Urgency's release date in Australia to a Brian Austin Green fangroup and got some more info:

For Urgency, it's more complicated than that. I've been chasing it for the past two weeks and ended up having to contact Peacock Films directly to know what the lowdown is.

VideoEzy (a movie rental chain here in Oz like Blockbusters) advertises it as coming in November but when I checked with a few stores nearby, none of them are actually ordering it in. So I won't be able to rent it. When I asked if they could order it in to buy (as most of them offer that as well for quite a bit of movies), again, I was told they wouldn't be doing that for that title either.

So that brought me to Peacock and the lady there was very helpful and contacted VideoEzy to see if she could change their mind about acquiring a copy at least. I just heard from her now and the answer is still no.

And what she's confirmed now is that while it will be out on the 18th November here, it's only for rental. It will only be released to buy on the 18th February 2010.

So at least it's coming out, just a little later! I'm trying to find out from this person if/where we can buy the DVD online, so stay tuned.

Thanks for researching all this information! It's much appreciated. So we can buy the movie in 2010? Okay, a bit longer than I expected, but better than never. And who knows, maybe it will be released in some other part of the world before that.

Hey lilylemony! Thanks for the update. More waiting... sigh. That DVD better be good.

Fortunately, we have Caprica to keep us busy this winter

Did any Lucci fans get their hands on Urgency today?

I have my Australian fans out looking for the DVD, but I haven't heard anything back yet. If you guys hear anything, let me know!

This is an exciting week

However, I'm afraid we don't know any fans in Australia who could be looking out for the DVD, so I don't hold my breath. Frankly, I wait for an avi to pop up somewhere... *cough* (but of course we'll all buy the DVD eventually.)

It's availabe at Video Busters, too
