What do you get when you combine a natural disaster film with a prison breakout adventure and throw some killer alligators into the mix? The answer is The Flood, arriving on digital and on demand from Saban Films on July 14th.

The drama of WWII is a setting that many of the greatest filmmakers have set their stories in for maximum effect. From Spielberg to Tarantino to Waititi, the angles are varied, but audiences still clamor for more. Battle for Saipan, now available on digital and on demand from Paramount and Saban Films, is the latest in this line of war stories featuring a familiar cast giving performances from the trenches. Battle For Saipan is an edge-of-your-seat WWII epic wherein a US Army hospital on the remote island of Saipan is overrun by Japanese forces during a relentless attack. Outgunned and surrounded by the enemy, a lone medic played by Casper Van Dien puts it all on the line to lead a band of wounded warriors to safety. In this exclusive interview, PopGeeks talked with Producer of Battle For Saipan, Daemon Hillin, about his experience in seeing the project take shape. PopGeeks: What was it about the true story upon which Battle For Saipan is based, that made you want to
