Cine Asia & London’s PimpShuei To Host OPERATION RED SEA Screening Party This Tuesday
Cine Asia and London’s PimpShuei are hosting a screening event and party on Tuesday, October 16 at 7:00pm for Dante Lam’s latest hit, Operation Red Sea. The event arrives two weeks prior to Cine Asia’s slated Blu-ray, DVD & Digital Download release on October 29. Loosely based on the 2015 uprising in Yemen, Operation Red Sea centers on the Chinese Navy’s eight-member Jiaolong Assault Unit, trapped behind enemy lines when a rescue mission bookends into foiling an even deadlier terroristic threat. Following suit from Lam’s explosive 2014 espionage action adventure, Operation Mekong, Operation Red Sea became the most successful film of the year at the Chinese box office and the country’s second highest grossing film of all time. It has also been selected by Hong Kong as its contender among several entries from Asia in the foreign-language Oscars category. Actor Zhang Yi leads the cast with Johnny Huang and Du […]
Ryan Coogler Will Write And Direct Marvel’s BLACK PANTHER 2
The Hollywood Reporter‘s own Borys Kit has confirmed a return at the helm for Ryan Coogler on Black Panther 2 following it’s domestic and global success at the box office. Scripting will begin as early as next year with plans to roll cameras in late 2019 or 2020 while Coogler and Black Panther co-star Michael B. Jordan complete their current efforts on school testing drama, Wrong Answer. Having stood the test of time since 1966 as the Marvel Comics brainchild of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Black Panther affirmed its profile in fine fashion debuting solo on the big screen on February 16. Coogler penned the script with Joe Robert Cole for the character’s continuation after Captain America: Civil War, fully immersing moviegoers around the world into the fictional, otherwise mythical, hidden land of Wakanda. Starring Chadwick Boseman, we meet T’Challa as he embarks on a mission to save his […]

Vin Diesel, ROWW Tease BLOODSHOT Ahead Of Thursday’s #Game4Paul Event
Fans looking to tune into something or anything Vin Diesel-related can now pan over to new photos being released teasing the actor’s incarnation of Valiant Comics’ supersoldier, Bloodshot. Diesel will be on hand on Thursday alongside fellow Fast And Furious cohorts Tyrese Gibson and Sung Kang and Reach Out WorldWide CEO Cody Walker for the fourth annual fundraising event. The photos provide a sneak peak at some of the signed, exclusive prizes, rewards and collectibles (of which there are more than a dozen) straight from the set of Diesel’s new film currently in production in Cape Town, South Africa. The fundraiser goes directly to promoting and supporting ROWW’s agenda of providing natural disaster relief and support across the globe – as previously envisioned by Cody’s brother, late actor Paul Walker who founded the firm in 2010 in response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti; Paul’s life and legacy will also […]

THE WITCHER Grows Its Cast For The New Netflix Series
With Henry Cavill nabbed principally for Netflix‘s latest stake in The Witcher as Geralt of Rivia, more names have been added to the roster. The sorceress Yennefer will be played by Anya Chalotra (The ABC Murders, Wanderlust). Actress MyAnna Buring (Ripper Street, Kill List) will leading the magical academy at Aretuza in the role of Tissaia, with Mimi Ndiweni (Black Earth Rising) and Therica Wilson-Read (Profile) as novice sorcerers Fringilla and Sabrina, and Millie Brady (The Last Kingdom, Teen Spirit) as the outcast Princess Renfri.

THE NIGHT COMES FOR US Teases A Killer Fated To Kill One Last Time In The Official Trailer!
If you’re like me, the past four years have probably proven to be one of the biggest waiting games you’ve ever played. It’s certainly been longer for acclaimed Mo’ Bro filmmaker, director Timo Tjahjanto since arduously birthing his concepts for The Night Comes For Us with the goal of bringing back The Raid actor Joe Taslim. There’s nothing else, really, to the matter apart from what else has already been said with respect to its stagnation in 2014. All we really know after all the waiting, depression and renewed hope is that I think we’re on the same page in expressing our collective euphoria since the first teaser clip arose ahead of the film’s premiere at Sitges. As such, we now have an official trailer that meets our needs from a preliminary standpoint. That we also saw an official poster with a release date also felt more than fruitful, but […]
Legendary, AfterShock Partner For Image Comics’ GOD COUNTRY
Renowned writer Donny Cates will pen a feature adaptation for his 2017 graphic novel, God Country. Written by Cates and illustrated by Geoff Shaw, the Image Comics publication was an explosive hit upon release preceding its four-time reprint before being collected in trade paperback. The film centers on Emmett Quinlan, an elderly widower rattled by dementia. Emmett isn’t just a problem for his children–his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home–as well as the surrounding West Texas town–a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage. An enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body. He’s now the only man who can face the otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State. The adaptation of the critically-acclaimed novel will mark a first for AfterShock Media CEO, Jon Kramer, and President, […]
SUICIDE SQUAD 2: James Gunn Will Write With An Eye To Direct DCEU Sequel
The Wrap confirmed in an exclusive on Tuesday that James Gunn is up for scripting and potential directing duties on the sequel to DCEU property, Suicide Squad. The move marks the latest development for the former Disney employee after being fired over tweets resurfaced by a right-wing provocateur back in July. Gavin O’Connor wrote a previous draft, whereas now Gunn’s will forsee what’s reported as an entirely different take on the property that centers on a band of super-skilled criminals fight terror at the behest of a secret government program. David Ayer wrote and directed the original, and in the course of its post-production was locked out of his own editing room by the studio in favor of a lighter-toned action adventure. Gunn’s fallout from Disney couldn’t have been uglier after being forced to cancel a Hall H appearance to promote David Yarovesky’s upcoming horror, BrightBurn. His old Tweets, indeed, […]
Rossatron Talks The BLADE Trilogy And Why It Deserves To Continue
August saw some stirring news with mention of a pair of Blade projects being cooked up at Marvel. Your guess is as good as mine as to where those projects end up but I will cosign at least one point here that essayist Rossatron makes in his dissemination about the future of the Blade franchise. After all said and done, there is still much to build on with the franchise since it took off in trailblazing form in 1998. For this, Wesley Snipes very much deserves another shot at the role, and essentially to help bring these films back on their feet after the atrocity that was David S. Goyer’s directorial vomitshake of franchise doom and gloom that was Blade: Trinity – I take issue with anyone that has a positive opinion about that film. It truly is garbage and I’ve said it for years. I wanted so badly to […]
KRIGER: Dar Salim Tackles A New War Zone In The Official Series Trailer
Folks with an eye on series formats can look toward writer/director Christoffer Boe’s latest six-episode effort, Kriger (Warrior). Following it’s Danish premiere in September, Netflix will have dibs for its rollout on November 13 and with Dar Salim (Darkland). A war veteran returns home with the hopes of peace and normalcy, but soon finds himself in a dangerous battle between a rough biker gang and the police force determined to take them down. Danica Curcic joins in along with Lars Ranthe, Jakob Oftebro, Kenneth Christensen, Marco Ilsø, Kasper Leisner; Natalie Madueño, Søren Malling, Nicolas Bro and Andrea Vagn Jensen.
KINGDOM: Sato Shinsuke’s Next Big Scale Manga Adaptation Epic Lands A First Trailer And Poster
You can pretty much call it a banner year for I Am A Hero director Sato Shinsuke now that he’s blown minds from Japan and throughout the relative fandom with his adaptations of Inuyashiki and Bleach. With fans in unison especially calling for a sequel to the latter following its wide platform rollout on Netflix, you can certainly expect the noise to keep going, although tack on something else impressive…say, the latest official teaser trailer for Warring States period drama, Kingdom and you’re pretty much left with your head spinning at this point. Taken from the pages of Hara Yasuhisa’s 2006 Weekly Shonen Jump publication, the film sets actor Yamazaki Kento starring with Yoshizawa Ryo for the Qin Dynasty tale about an orphan whose fateful encounter with the young boy destined to be emperor sees the former becoming his general in their efforts to unify China. Yamazaki, whose recent credits […]

THE RAID Screenwriter Adam G. Simon Teases ‘Warrior’ Meets ‘Black Hawk Down’ In A High-Rise, And ‘A Bad Motherf*cker’ Named ‘Felix’
Gareth Evans may not have his hands on The Raid franchise anymore as he continues forthwith on his own serial endeavors in the U.K. for Corin Hardy’s Gangs Of London. That said, Evans is executive producing the revisal of The Raid currently being shepherded by WarParty’s own Joe Carnahan and screenwriter Adam G. Simon who moved things up another inch on the PR scale when teasing what kind of villain the new interpretation of Evans’ 2011 crowdpleaser would be like with the film set in Caracas, Venezuela. “His name’s Felix.” says Simon during his half-hour session on A Dose Of Buffa. “And he’s…a little more sophisticated, a little more lethal, a little more intelligent and cunning than what we saw in the original ‘Raid’ with that villain.”; The villain in question is the role of Tama, played phemomenally by Ray Sahetapy for the Indonesian crime original. For those not in […]
Marc Price’s NIGHTSHOOTERS Is Pure, R-Rated Martial Arts Action And Comedy Fun
The last five years have been terrific in keeping up with actor and martial artist Jean-Paul Ly. A career comprised of nominal stunt performance and small roles that eventually paved the way for his stellar reception in Jailbreak now brings us front and center with Magpie and Colin helmer Marc Price, whose name became central to the posterity of martial arts cinema back in late 2017 with UK production, Nightshooters. The action and comedy turn up some robust and energizing performances from the very start; An audibly forte shot of a bloody skull inaugurates the narrative telling of Marshall (Adam McNab), an independent filmmaker hungry to complete his latest no-budget, over-the-top zombie movie featuring washed-up action star, Harper (Doug Allen). Their beleagured seven-member team including boom mic/sound guy Oddbod (Nicky Evans), practical effects and demo expert Ellie (Rosanna Hoult) and production assistants Jen (Kaitlyn Riordan) and the hapless Kim (Mica […]
