Background

During the early 90s, Sunn returns to work in movie production. As Sunn International Pictures, they made several more Biblical speculation films for CBS, known as Ancient Secrets of the Bible. Aaron Eckhart got his start playing Samson in one of these films. They ran into a bit of trouble with this as it turns out one of the people they interviewed, about the finding of Noah’s Ark, was a renowned hoaxer. He did the interview as a joke and, after it aired, came out to say he was making it all up. CBS was embarrassed and didn’t continue with more films with Sunn. There were a few more documentaries (including a series about UFOs), mainly for cable, but that was it for the second incarnation of Sunn. Sellier continues to make films, mainly religious documentaries, under the title Grizzly Adams Productions.

In recent years, Sunn has attempted to come back for a third time, with many of those originally involved with the studio (minus Sellier). They launched a website, and have ambitious plans for a new movie studio called Sunn Classic Pictures Inc. (the same name used by its former company, with some films in development (including Tim Conway's DORF character). Although since the site's launch a couple years ago, there has been little updating.
