Heroes Unite, Reluctantly, In The First Official Trailer For THE DEFENDERS

The fervor didn’t exactly rest easy earlier this year in all the debate over how to receive Netflix’s first season of Marvel’s Iron Fist. It wasn’t a perfect outing for the character as the fourth in a line-up of four for the popular streaming service and I’m sure it will be a deal to cover in the months leading up to a second season. Putting that aside, we finally have the first official trailer for The Defenders in which our heroes our aforementioned Finn Jones’s Iron Fist joining Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones and Mike Colter’s Luke Cage. Scott Glenn is expected to return and much to our delight as Daredevil cohort, Stick, with reprising actresses Rosario Dawson reprising her role as superhero confidant Claire Temple, Simone Missick as Misty Knight, and with actress Sigourney Weaver making her debut as one of the show’s key villains.

THE HIT LIST – May 1, 2017

The week turned out quite different for content rollout it seems! It wasn’t as quiet as I thought it would be last week and so this week’s Hit List should be plenty filling, and I thank you, readers, for tuning back in. As always, we begin with a nifty round of stunt reels from some of today’s budding and top stunt performers, starting with Kate Cochran, Tien Hoang, Sam Situmorang, Mustafa Bulut, Stephen Koepfer, Jennifer Badger, Joshua Pereira, Billy Bussey, John Lyke, Joseph Roark, Kemet Black Whitlow and, Sergei Dmitriev, Evan Dane Taylor and Ben Van Huis. There’s currently nothing available in terms of promotion that has caught our eye as of yet, so I say give time. Meanwhile, what we have here is a bit of an experiment for three contributors at Buzzfeed – Kelsey Impicchiche, Michelle Khare and Jordan Shalhoub – who decided to partake in superhero stunt training and […]

Review: Despite Keen Action Delivery, FIST 2 FIST: WEAPON OF CHOICE (2014) Falls Short On Its Arsenal

If it weren’t for David Van Tassell’s most recent interview with actor, martial artist and filmmaker Jino Kang, I probably would have lost my ever loving mind trying to weigh in on his latest film, Fist 2 Fist: Weapon Of Choice, while thinking it was connected to its 2011 predecessor. Thus, it being a sequel in name only lifts a small burden off of my back some now that I can catch it at some point without urgency, while having screened the new movie and now with a more suited, pieceworthy opinion to espouse and share accordingly. Indeed, the film is an award-winner and a hit with action fans and some critics who’ve seen it, which is understandable in a number of instances as it introduces Kang in the role of a Jack Lee, former hitman whose previous life comes back to haunt him with the kidnapping of his niece […]

BLACK WATER: Van Damme And Lundgren Double Team In The First Official Trailer

I had a feeling that the most recent trailer for the new JCVD/Dolph Lundgren actioner, Black Water, was leaked. That sort of stuff I don’t tolerate and so ACE Entertainment now has its own trailer which I’ll kindly share below. A CIA operative (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is imprisoned in a secret black site on board a nuclear submarine. With the help of a new ally (Dolph Lundgren) he must make his escape and clear his name before he disappears forever. The film was announced at the top of the year and I was always confounded as to why it took weeks for award-winning cinematographer Pasha Patriki’s name to be officially named as director. No biggie though. What matters is that the film is on its way for 2018 and the fanboys couldn’t be more excited as it reunites two of the genre’s biggest names sharing credits such as three Universal […]

TOKYO GHOUL Teases Duality In The Latest Official Poster

In keeping up with the spirit of live-action adaptation overload, actor Kubota Masataka is the latest addition to the list of those heading a film of his own with the new movie, Tokyo Ghoul.

LOGAN Is Coming To Theaters In Black And White On May 16

Last month can certainly be marked as one of the more resonant moments in comic book movie history, and specifically with regard to Logan from director James Mangold. Not merely following the R-rated formula per Deadpool for the sake of trendiness, the film delivered an otherwise concentrated, focused and intense story that ultimately delivered the violent brutality that’s been long-awaited in the Marvel superhero’s screentime for the first time in nearly seventeen years. By that turn, it also carried over its own timeline as things branched out from Bryan Singer’s Days Of Future Past adaptation, thus allowing Mangold’s own exploration of the character capitalizing on its popularity continued in print with Marvel’s Secret Wars. And not for nothing either with many critics complimenting the movie from its riproaring festival debut in Berlin to its rollout via 20th Century Fox. Our own Khalil Barnett weighed in on the matter in several […]

YA Novel Film Adaptation, SUPERMAN VS. THE KKK, Is In Development

This latest update regards the 2012 YA novel, “Superman Versus The Ku Klux Klan: The True Story of How the Iconic Superhero Battled the Men of Hate”, from author Rick Bowers, from which Katherine Lindberg will adapt the screenplay for Lotus and PaperChase, and financier and executive producer Marco Vicini.

The Epic Gang Saga Continues In The First Teaser For HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE 2: END OF SKY

I couldn’t tell you much about LDH and NTV or their innerworkings on any given day, except for what little I know of Japanese supergroup Exile Tribe and their stunning reign in TV and film as of late 2015 with in-house megaproject, HiGH&LOW. It’s only been available in Japan with its first two seasons of HiGH&LOW: The Story Of S.W.O.R.D. featuring the brewing drama and explosive action as gangs and crime families battle each other for dominance in a town divided by five warring territories. Apart from live concerts and events (the music itself kicks ass too), the saga ultimately led to last summer’s feature film debut with Kubo Shigeaki’s HiGH&LOW: The Movie, followed by its subsequent spin-off, HiGH&LOW: The Red Rain from Yamaguchi Yudai, and now Shochiku is poised to follow up on its trilogy with two more titles between August 19 and November. For this, the first short […]

Director Ron Scalpello’s new movie takes you into the world of underground boxing in the eyes of London’s once-living most notorious hard man in the new film, My Name Is Lenny.

Explosive and brutal, My Name Is Lenny is based on the true story of Britain’s most notorious bareknuckle fighter: Lenny McLean (Josh Helman, Mad Max: Fury Road).
