Seagal's latest DTV release: Submerged will be

"Chris Cody (Seagal) the free world's most "independent" anti-terrorist agent, is summoned
from his military prison cell and promised a presidential pardon - with a hitch. An American Ambassador has been assassinated

the truth. Cody ends up overpowered and trapped beneath the waves but hardly out of his depth. "

Bey Logan and Jimmy Moy
are developing "Shadows on the Sun" as a project that will mark a radical departure from Seagal's tough-guy persona. Scripted
by Logan ("The Medallion"), it will feature Seagal as a burned-out former intelligence officer who runs a medical clinic in
Japan just after WWII...
