Snipes Asks Permission To Film Abroad

Attorneys for actor Wesley Snipes on Wednesday filed a motion in US District Court in Ocala, Florida requesting that US District Judge William Terrell Hodges grant permission for Snipes to go to London to do post-production work on one movie and then to Bangkok to start work on another. Snipes was convicted in February on three failure to file misdemeanor tax counts and sentenced in April to three years in prison. He is free on bond pending appeal but the USAO is challenging that ruling, so expect them to fight this tooth and nail (Ocala Star-Banner).
