The Team Behind ‘Jailbreak’ Announces THE PREY From Altered Vision And Kongchak Pictures

Kongchak 2017 was something of a banner year for the good folks at Kongchak Pictures. The festival run for martial arts action comedy, Jailbreak, spawned a huge calling from fans much to the favor of producer Loy Te and director, Jimmy Henderson whose regional action feature debut, Hanuman, essentially illuminated some of the best Cambodia offers nowadays in screenfighting talent. For this, it should be of no suprise, but just sheer delight that they are back at it again with the new action thriller, The Prey, written by Henderson, Jailbreak scribe Michael Hogdson and newcomer Kai Miller. Andrew Mack’s report at ScreenAnarchy cites a press announcement enlisting five-time Chinese national boxing, dual arms champion Gu Sheng Wei (Bloody Destiny) as Xin, a do-gooder undercover cop who finds himself fighting for his life when a surprise raid lands him in a remote jungle prison host to a game for affluent hunters […]

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: Kitty Says Hello In The Official Trailer

The best part about Marvel’s Ant-Man and The Wasp so far are three things: 1) They didn’t try to pull that miniature-sized trailer bullshit like they did for the first film, 2) The first official promo now online helps lend more insight into Paul Rudd’s second appearance with the ensemble in Civil War, and 3) Evangeline Lilly, and the amount of asses that she kicks here. It’s pretty wicked; Of course you’re allowed your own three too. With Marvel, we’re all winners here. ? From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes Ant-Man and The Wasp, a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink. In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a super hero and a father.

ANIMAL WORLD: Li Yi-Feng Clowns Around With Brutal Resolve In The Newest Trailer

ANIMAL WORLD: Li Yi-Feng Clowns Around With Brutal Resolve In The Newest Trailer

If filmmaker Han Yan’s name sounds familiar, his amply noted 2015 dramedy, Go Away Mr. Tumor probably stands out first, though even more fascinating are the latest headlines he’s made for his two fantasy endeavors aiming for release this year, Dream Breaker being one… The other, and not to be confused for the former, is director HanYan’s surprising glimpse into what looks quite the spectacular feat in Animal World with Li Yi Feng appearing as a man who transforms into one of deadliest and most kick ass clowns you’ll see on film.

Review: RV: RESURRECTED VICTIMS Is A Consequential Thriller That Supercedes The Paranormal

The one interesting thing with Champion and Typhoon helmer Kwak Kyung-Taek’s latest, RV: Resurrected Victims, is how long it took to be seen by audiences. Production wrapped in late 2015 and finally had its theatrical run in Korea last October, so as much a mystery as it is, folks can still move forward and bask in the mystery and intrigue that Kwak invites per the narrative based from the 2012 literary, “It Is Over”. The film certainly goes out of its way to ground itself in realism as amply as possible, which sort of makes suspending any disbelief something of a challenge. Audible breaking news reports set the pace throughout as the film immerses deep in an intricate, layered crime pic that delves into a world where corpses are inexplicably resurrected years after death. “Expert” opinion suggests that vengeance and retribution are the reason for this, which leads us to […]

Patrick Hughes Readies UNSAFE HOUSE At Lionsgate

Enter Unsafe House which is readying to roll cameras this year with Russell Hollander producing from a script by Adam J. Epstein and Andrew Jacobson. The story follows three friends who rent a Bahamas beach house over the summer for some R&R, only to come and realize that the location is actually a MI-6 safe house already occupied by a CIA operative.

LIONHEART 2, THE QUEST 2, FULL LOVE, THE TOWER Among A Raft Of Jean-Claude Van Damme Projects Eyed At Rodin Entertainment

Universal Pictures The past fifteen years or so have proven quite arduous in keeping up with action star Jean-Claude Van Damme and the revolving door of projects that have either come and gone or have just remained shelved for one reason or another. It hasn’t been without its share of good fortunes though as with the 57-year old martial arts film star has come a number of some very much stronger performances in more concentrated projects aimed at harnessing his dramatic best; Apart from formulaic direct-to-video releases like In Hell, examples that come to mind include the much celebrated JCVD, Enemies Closer, Welcome To The Jungle, The Expendables 2 and John Hyams’s 2009 and 2012 treatments revising the Universal Soldier franchise to name a few. He’s also had his hands in directing with Full Love (once known as The Eagle Path) having remained in production for years almost seemingly non-end […]

TAXI 5: Watch The First Teaser For The Fifth Entry In The French Action Comedy Franchise

It’s 20 years since producer Luc Besson struck gold with Gérard Pirès’s winning hit, Taxi, and with three more in the French-produced franchise next to an American reboot and a TV series. More than ten years have lapsed thereafter with helmer Gérard Krawczyk and franchise star Samy Naceri shepherding the action comedy saga, thus leaving it to writer and director Franck Gastambide to take the mantle on both sides of the lens for a fifth new outing. Gastambide takes his fourth turn behind the lens here and also stars next to Malik Bentalha for the story of a Marseille police transfer who commandeers a taxi and its hapless driver to stop a gang of Italian robbers with powerful Ferraris. Production was made official in late 2016 with a January release in France this year until it was pushed back for a date now sitting on April 11 from EuropaCorp. Gastambide […]

A CASE FOR BETTER ACTION MOVIES: Rustam Mosafir’s THE SCYTHIAN Is A Roaring Beast Of An Adventure

Central Partnership Rustam Mosafir is certainly new to anyone not living in Eastern Europe. That said, he’s a man of several facets in film and entertainment, and he’s all but applied himself amply in this aspect per the duration of filming his latest period thriller, The Scythian, which opened in Russia just a few weeks ago. Arriving with his second feature film to date, Mosafir joins writer Vadim Golovanov to bring an epic action adventure frilm that broods with sweeping, violent and cathartic resolve. Forty-two days of principal photography in 2016 whilst pressing on through heavy environmental pressures lends a small price to pay for a $2.5 million dollar endeavor that undoubtedly endured its ample share of hurdles and challenges. Produced by Sergey Selyanov and host to a dialogue of four languages, the story is set against the backdrop of the tumultuous milleu of Central Eurasia in the 13th Century, […]

ATTRITION: Clear Your Conscience And Watch The New Trailer For The Steven Seagal Thriller

Let’s face it. The elephant in the room is as clear as the sky on a bright and sunny day regarding recent weeks of news over allegations of sexual misconduct and because of this, promoting his work will be a little heavy in handling. And on a wider scale, it ultimately affects everyone else around him pertaining to career prospects and they obviously don’t need the hassle. That said, he does have a few new films on the horizon and granted the 65-year old Aikido showman and film star still has his share of fans who will shamelessly overlook his alleged misdeeds. Pan over to Saradan Media who’ve just recently unveiled the international sales trailer for his latest, Attrition, which we’ll hear more about in the months ahead as market news takes shape.  Covert Operation helmer Mathieu Weschler directs Seagal who leads the film as Axe, a stoic, hermetized former soldier […]

CHINA SALESMAN: Tan Bing’s Tyson/Seagal Headliner Lands At Cleopatra For U.S. Release

Former heavyweight champ-turned-actor Mike Tyson and actor and martial artist Steven Seagal have taken the brunt of much of the publicity for their recent roles in Tan Bing’s 2017 actioner, China Salesman. Thus, you’d be forgiven for not immediately noticing lead actor Li Dong Xue around whom the film is centered per its narrative about a salesman who goes to Africa for business and gets caught up in a whirlwind of explosive tumult and danger. It’s not too impressive-looking despite the film’s hardened appeal to action movie junkies via explosions and fight scene gems. Trade news sites have nonetheless been abuzz for the $20 million dollar actioner as a significant bookmark signaling a growing momentum for Hollywood to follow in China’s footsteps per its market influence in the film industry at large and for what its worth, Cleopatra Entertainment has taken a liking having acquired the film for a U.S. […]

SAVAGE RESOLVE: An Interview With Stuntman And Filmmaker Jesse V. Johnson

From left to right: Scott Adkins, Jesse V. Johnson and Marko Zaror on the set of SAVAGE DOG (2017) Back in the early two-thousandsies, my DVD purchase of director Jesse V. Johnson’s Pit Fighter was certainly a blind-buy for me. What attracted me the most, of course, was the appearance of actor and martial artist Dominique Vandenberg on the cover and having especially noticed him delivering a barrage of kicks as the Outworld minion who gets smashed after Sub-Zero gives spectators the infamous “taste of things to come” in the 1995 feature, Mortal Kombat, I pretty much thought I’d give it a shot. The film’s delivery earned a mix of reviews on the now-defunct HKFlix.com whereas my own opinion of the film was half-and-half. My own tastes were evolving so I didn’t appreicate it as much as I probably would now if I gave it a rewatch…and I’m not just […]

OPERATION RED SEA: Chinese Navy Commandos Fire Away In The Official Trailer

Writer and director Dante Lam is no Michael Bay. Gladly he doesn’t need to be with his 2016 box office hit, Operation Mekong lending all the viewable proof you could want despite not being a perfect film. Thus, he’s since stuck to what works and with Operation Red Sea being central to those efforts as we mark another notch on the belt for Chinese military action cinema. Famed action director Dante Lam returns with this explosive follow-up to his 2016 box office smash OPERATION MEKONG. When a terrorist plot to obtain nuclear materials is hidden under the cover of a violent coup, only the Chinese Navy’s elite Jiaolong Assault Team have the deadly skill and precision needed to take on the situation.
