Tony Kaye's 2002 film has largely been unseen due to some issues with Tony Kaye suing the DGA over the mess with American History X. Norton allegedly reedited AHX to lengthen his screen time and the studio changed the ending against Kaye's wishes. Kaye then attempted to remove his name. The DGA stipulate that a director may remove their name but not talk about it, Kaye did quite the opposite taking out ads in Variety.

Snowblind has been blocked by someone, does anyone else have any information, or has anyone actually seen the film?

Wild stuff - not even a record of who was in the film? Are we sure it was actually shot? A bit disconcerting that it's seemingly just fallen off the face of the earth.

Here's a recent interview with Tony Kaye (no info on Snowblind) and he's very very sorry.

Great article Antoine, I don't usually read The Telegraph. Interesting reading, particularly:
...he has just begun work on his first feature-film project since American History X: the New Orleans-set thriller, Black Water Transit.
Does this mean Snowblind never happened? He does sound like a complete nutcase I wouldn't be surprised.

Its IMDB rating is 7.8/10, with 45 votes. Sounds like it's pretty good!

It's hard to say. Most internet articles about the film seem to cite IMDB and their entry could very well be erroneous. He seems to have been attached to more than a half dozen films since American History X, none of which really came to fruition.

I'm also curious about his abortion documentary Lake Of Fire, which I recall getting decent reviews at TIFF last year.
