Trailer: Vasan Bala’s THE MAN WHO FEELS NO PAIN Looks As Good As It Hurts
Director Vasan Bala has several credits in many facets for the film projects he’s worked on – namely in screenwriting and assistant directing aspects. For this, it was his 2012 crime pic, Peddlers, which set forth a pretty good precedent for his later work now leading up to a what looks to be a rousing world premiere at TIFF next month in Toronto for his sophomore outing, The Man Who Feels No Pain. The official trailer emerged on Thursday featuring debut actor Abhimanyu Dasani in the title role, born with a congenitive disease that renders him painless upon injury, and a growing desire to fight crime and vanquish 100 foes. Joining Dasani is relative newcomer Radhika Madan with both showcasing their feats in the witty drama and comedy that cosign the action – the latter which comes with a delightful sweetner. Following the Instagram hashtag, #MKDNH (short for Mard Ko […]

IRON FIST: It’s Danny VS. Davos In The Newest Season Two Trailer
Netflix is ripe for a time these days in which martial arts dramas are continuing to reap the favor of fans. 2019 will certainly be of interest while Marvel’s Iron Fist maintains its course for next month, and the footage we’re seeing has only gotten better since the campaign began this summer. Finn Jones is back in the title role of Danny Rand next to Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing for the story of a displaced survivor of a plane crash who, after living years in the distant realm of Kun’Lun, paves his path of self-discovery amidst epic battles back to New York City. We saw several of those clashes between our hero and that of his bitter sibling, Davos, played favorably by Sacha Dhawan and rest assured, season two makes it clear these two still have a score to settle. Season 2 furthers the transformation of Danny, a character […]

NEXT GEN: Check Out The Trailer For Netflix’s Explosive Sci-Fi Adventure
Netflix managed to strike some curious minds back in May upon ponying up $30 million dollars for the rights to Chinese animated sci-fi, Next Gen. Going forward though, it may very well prove to be a lucrative move as far as family action adventure titles go and this one definitely struck me by surprise with its latest official trailer, going from cute robo sci-fi with a talking dog to robots shooting missles and things going explody!…And yes, a talking dog.

Well Go USA Picks Up BIG BROTHER For North American Theatrical Release
And like a phoenix, Well Go USA rises to save your summer’s nearing end with the official U.S. trailer for Donnie Yen‘s new August 31 release, Big Brother. He’s got a few more down the pipeline including his current role in Niki Caro’s Mulan adaptation while we all hope to hear more on his latest attachment to Sleeping Dogs and Enter The Fat Dragon among others. In the meantime, Big Brother seems like a feasible and worthwhile few hours at the movies, especially after finishing its world premiere run at Fantasia Festival, whose Chu King-Wei programmed it as so: The high school is in crisis, the students are underperforming and preoccupied with non- academic activities. Mr. Chen, aka Big Brother, a teacher with rather rusty writing skills but armed with the most knowledgeable fists and heart of steel, comes to enlighten and inspire the students with his unconventional teaching methods.
