Anthony Quinn`s film `Seven Servants` to release after 13 years

London, May 01: Legendary actor Anthony Quinn`s film `Seven Servants`, is all set to release 13 years after it was made.The late actor, who also produced the film, had stalled the release insisting it was too visionary to be screened before the new century.

The film was shot in 1996, five years before the Mexican-American actor`s death, but the movie was never released as the then rights holders at production company Das Werk went broke, Contactmusic reported. The movie will be screened at the fourth annual Monaco Charity Film Festival in May. "Quinn observed that the world would change and that `Seven Servants` was really a film for the 21st century. He personally made the decision to withhold release - and he was correct. It is so appropriate for the present day," a spokesman for distributors LongTale International said. "The producers invested years of effort to rescue the project from the rights holder`s insolvency, recover all materials and elements, and, performed a thorough re-edit," spokesman added. The Oscar-winning actor, who starred in numerous critically acclaimed and commercially successful films like `Viva Zapata!`, `Lust for Life` and Federico Fellini`s `La strada` died at the age of 86 in Boston in 2001.
