Disney: STAR WARS VIII Has Commenced Filming

Courtesy of Disney Director Rian Johnson is officially underway with production for Star Wars VIII according to a new report from EW. “There is no better way to propel this franchise into the future than producing quality products,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger. “Filming of Star Wars: Episode VIII, the next chapter of the legendary saga, has just commenced and it will be in theaters December 2017. And production of Episode IX, a 2019 release, has also begun.” J.J. Abrams directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens which released two months ago to the tune of well over $2 billion dollars globally. If you’ve at all contributed to that sum then you already may know who probably is and/or isn’t returning the cast apart from the return of leading pair of actor John Boyega and actress Daisy Ridley among others. Plans are also in motion for a third with Jurassic World […]

THE PURGE: ELECTION DAY Gets A First Trailer!

Frank Grillo may be far and away from any prospects from a remake of The Raid, but that won’t impede him from featuring in some notable thrillers to date. He’s sure made a killing doing so in the 2014 sequel, The Purge: Anarchy, which film earned him a ton of fan acclaim with a story set in a dystopian version of the U.S. where The Purge, an annual government-implemented event that allows citizens to commit almost any act of crime for one evening of the year, maintains law and order for the remainder of every year. Needless to say, it’s an event that’s drawn the response of a brewing rebellion that will only heat things up further, as they seemingly do now in the third installment from Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, The Purge: Election Year. Grillio and actress Elizabeth Mitchell headline the cast for the film which releases on July […]

Is Universal Casting Charlize Theron In A FAST 8 Villain Role?

Courtesy Of Paramount Pictures It’s been nearly thirteen years since director F. Gary Gray led Paramount Pictures’s The Italian Job to a bolstering box office hit, with the same duration standing for Gray’s partnering with actor Vin Diesel for crime pic, A Man Apart. For the latter, the circle has come full with both now readying Fast 8, the first of Universal Pictures’s final trilogy for the Fast And Furious franchise, and with just enough spectacle and scope to help leave a lasting impression another new beginning of the franchise. That said, with the previous installment, Furious Seven, already incapacitating its villain, played by Jason Statham, sources over at Deadline are now affirming that the reunion between Diesel and Gray won’t stop there. The report suggests that the studio is now looking to add a female villain in the form of actress Charlize Theron. Gray previously directed Theron on the […]

Stunt Players Speak On Behalf Of Logan Cross's NIGHTSHADOW Kickstarter

The production of director Logan Cross’s Cross The Line L.L.C. feature film, Nightshadow, still hinges currently on the hopes of a successful fundraising campaign via Kickstarter. Current stretch goal plans include a comic book branch-out marking the launch of Cross The Line Comics franchise based on said property which centers largely on a diverse cast of characters and a strong female lead to spearhead its martial arts-infused superhero vigilante story. The earlier stunt concept, The Hunters: Betrayal, best serves exemplary for the kind of world Cross hopes to invite moviegoers to. In the meantime, the production still needs the bare minimum of $30K to help pay for the necessary weapons, stunt costumes and other props they need to help make this project a reality, and not for nothing either with several members of the stunt team behind The Hunters: Betrayal now sharing their on-set testimonies about each of their experiences […]

Couetesy of A Hateful 8 Production Martial arts film junkies who’ve been following the indie scene online for the last several years may have come to know the folks over at Rising Tiger Films and the work they’ve been put out since 2008.

Conceived entirely of a love for martial arts, comedy and run-on gags, all nine episodes of the Do The Damn Thing project don’t necessarily thrive on linear storytelling, but a shared universe of characters that you ultimately come to know and love.

THE HIT LIST – February 8, 2016

My weekend was a little adventurous. Nothing major but I do have a few things going on right now that may involve a little less activity here at Film Combat Syndicate, so I can’t guarantee the usual amount of content like always. That won’t stop me from procuring the weekly Hit List as per each Monday evening, because there’s more action to entail along with a small announcement on a project I will be making a cameo in, and you would be wise to keep up!… First up, as always in our weekly series of playlists is a reel loaded with various training and professional stunt and fighting footage from some of today’s upscale players, including Shaun Finney, Ross Kohnstam, Matt Berberi, Corbin Reinhardt, Aston Crabtree, Shane Yan and Leandra Giese. And now, onto some short fight videos with a vimeo-exclusive from Tyler Williams in Canada. His latest piece is […]

Gravity Takes Dead Aim In The New Poster For HARDCORE HENRY!

Director Ilya Naishuller’s newest, Hardcore Henry, has easily become one of the most highly anticipated action films of the season.

SYNOPSIS: Strap in. Hardcore Henry is an original film that was shot completely from the hero’s perspective. You remember nothing.

Take A Stab At The Latest Trailer For THE PERFECT WEAPON

Director Matthias Titus Paar is accomodating action fans with another new stint featuring actor Johnny Messner in upcoming futuristic action thriller, The Perfect Weapon. Straight and to the point here (and obviously there’s no need to point out the differece between this one and Mark DiSalle’s 1991 film which should be obvious), clearly Messner shows out some great chops for this latest diddy from VMI Worldwide, so I would advise looking into this one simply for the fact that he’s the star. Casting Seagal here was a pretty good move to make this one noticeable to Seagal fans and some action fans, but here it’s obvious he’s co-starring. Alas, and much like Force Of Execution in 2013 in which I’ll share my thoughts in an upcoming Now Available review, I have to give credit where credit is due here. Sure, Seagal is busy and keeping things moving for his own […]
