FILM

                                    FILM                                                                                   ROLE


Kill Mode (2019) (Sky UK Video)                                                     The Old Man                                                        
(Ted's new film. made in The Netherlands in 2019, was released on Sky UK video 3/17/20, and can be watched on Amazon Prime Video. The story takes place in a future in which a virus has wiped out much of civilization. There’s a cure but only The Company has it, and they can charge what they want for it. That was eight years ago. David (Dave Mantel) was a rebel fighter. Now he works in an illegal clinic, subverting The Company through other means. But when former comrades Richard (Burt Rutteman) and Alex (Yasmin Blake) turn up with a plan to liberate the cure to the virus he’s drawn back in. After a run-in with an old man (Ted Neeley, Jesus Christ Superstar, Alleluia! The Devil’s Carnival) who praises the company, even as he begs for spare doses of treatment, he hooks up with what remains of his old team. A raid on a Company facility gets them the cure. But it isn’t a formula, it’s Molly who’s been held captive and exploited for her natural immunity all these years.  See the teaser/trailers below, and you can watch the whole film on Amazon Prime.)

(Meat Loaf, the singer is followed around by a fan named Marvin (also played by Meat Loaf) but through concert after
                            concert and song after song, the performer manages to stay one step ahead of his admiring pursuer. The singer's

In the tradition of such earlier films as Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Richardson enjoys himself only on weekends when he whoops it up with his buddies at the local saloon. His carousing exacts a toll on his relationship with Jodie Lynn Palmer, (Kim Basinger, in her film debut). Finally, Jodie delivers an ultimatum: either settle down and get married, or she'll skeedaddle to California, there to try her luck as a country-western singer. Real-life C&W star Tanya Tucker co-stars as Jodie's best friend and role model. — Hal Erickson.  Also stars: Michael Parks, Gailard Sartain, Daryl Hannah and Richard Moll)

                     (An innocuous romantic comedy, courtesy of Robert Altman. Dooley is a lonely middle-aged man who is completely 
                         dominated by autocratic Greek father, Vadnis. Through a computer dating service, Dooley meets Heflin and is attracted to 
                         her. She's a rather insecure woman who plays in a rock band led by Neeley (who starred in JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR). 
                         Neeley rules his extended family of musicians, singers, and hangers-on every bit as autocratically as Vadnis controls his 
                         more traditional family. Vadnis would never approve of his son dating Heflin, while Neeley so drives his people they barely 
                         have time for a social life. The film focuses on these two people (Dooley & Heflin) as they attempt to deal with their 
                        "family" problems and come to terms with one another.)

http://www.tvguide.com/Movies/database/ShowMovie.asp?MI=10452

"...a rock band led by Neeley (who starred in JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR). Neeley rules his extended family of musicians, singers, and hangers-on every bit as autocratically as Vadnis controls his more traditional family... Neeley so drives his people they barely have time for a social life...Neeley and the "Keepin' 'Em Off the Streets" band provide some worthwhile music, including the songs "Hurricane" (Tom Berg, Ted Neeley, Allan Nicholls) and "Fantasy" (Nicholls)."

                     NOTE:  This listing is courtesy of Mianne Tripp.  All I can find on this movie is that it is a suspense thriller.

                 Note: This listing is courtesy of  Ann Stickford (thumperdances2@sbcglobal.net , one of our newest Tedheads. She tells me that she doubts the 
                                  film was done, but had it listed from when she met Ted years back, so I am listing it for the time being. Anyone know anything 
                                  concrete about this film? Google and IMDB had nothing.

(Note:  Ted met his future wife, Leeyan, filming this movie.  You can spot her in numerous places, most notably in the Simon Zealotes scene - "the girl on the left in the brown outfit dancing", and the Herod scene, immediately to Herod's left,  wearing a blonde, curly wig.)
