Eldorado is a British horror-comedy film written and directed by Richard Driscoll, and starring Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Brigitte Nielsen, Kerry Washington, Jeff Fahey, Steve Guttenberg, Bill Moseley, Sylvester McCoy, Tyrese Gibson and Peter O'Toole. The film has been described as a horror/comedy/musical road movie.[1] The film was also released under the title Highway to Hell.[2]
The film was to receive a wide release in both the UK and in the USA in November 2010, however, though production was complete, it was not released.[3] [4]
On 5 June 2013 it was reported in the British media that the director had funded the film by filing false VAT tax returns to the British government.[5] Driscoll was alleged to have falsely claimed the movie's budget to be $15 million, the figure was actually only $1.5 million, boosted by a further $2.35 million defrauded from HMRC. He was convicted at Southwark Crown Court, and sentenced to three years imprisonment.[6] [7]
The film never received a theatrical release, and was published direct-to-video in the United Kingdom.[6]
