Watch The UK Trailer For RUROUNI KENSHIN: KYOTO INFERNO

The word is out and the U.K. is readying itself for a dose of explosive samurai sword-clasing action with director Otomo Keishi‘s summer blockbuster success story, Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno. The film is the second of a trilogy as the first of a two part finale following the first film’s release back in 2012, and to much critical and commercial acclaim at that. Actor Satoh Takeru stars in the title role opposite actor Fujiwara Tatsuya, based on the work of manga author Nobuhiro Watsuki, in a tale that now sees Kenshin, a masterless samurai trying to live the quiet life while once vowing never to kill with his sword ever again, facing a newer threat to Japan in the form of the vicious Shishio Makoto and his squadron of anti-government mercs, the Juppongatana. The film was released in Japan back in August, followed by a multi-territorial rollout spanning throughout Asia, […]

Help Joshua Caldwell Fund His Latest LGBT-Inclusive Action Thriller, ASSASSIN

Well how about this? It’s not everyday we get to see something versatile in storytelling and action, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a film in this genre that was LGBT inclusive in its characters. But here, Joshua Caldwell has been at it for about a month now with the hopes of crowdfunding his latest action thriller, Assassin. Writer and longtime film partner Travis Oberlander worked the script for the project now being hosted at crowdfunding site, Seed And Spark and it goes a little something like this: Jane, a mysterious woman staying in a remote cabin in the mountains, meets and falls for Ella, a local woman caught in an abusive relationship. As the two grow closer, we learn that Jane is a contract killer, hiding out after a job went wrong and a little girl was killed. Jane is waiting to meet up with her […]

[UPDATED] Marvel Officially Releases Its PHASE 3 Calendar

Update (6:10 pm EST) – An incorrect version of the Marvel Phase 3 calendar was shared prior to its correct version now available in its place. Damn you H.Y.D.R.A.! It’s pretty clear that Walt Disney Co. and Marvel Studios have the upper hand with Warner Bros. still trailing with its DC Cinematic Universre. Last month’s epic conference at the El Capitan Theater was just what the fanbase needed in overseeing just exactly where all the Marvel movies were going after the first two phases, on top of continuing casting announcements with the confirmation of Get On Up star Chadwick Boseman for Black Panther and Rush co-star, actor Daniel Bruhl‘s casting for a villain role in next Spring’s production of Captain America: Civil War this week. So, more casting continues, and with the May 1, 2015 deadline set for Joss Whedon’s possible MCU bow out as director with Avengers: Age Of […]

A New Threat Looms In The New Second Season Teaser For BLACK: THE SERIES

Filmmaker Frank T. Ziede had a stellar first run last year with season one of his independently-funded online action series, Black, starring 22-year veteran and former Navy SEAL, actor Mikal Vega (Transformers: Age Of Extinction, G.I. Joe: Retaliation) as the leader of a special-ops team created in response to a terrorist attack on American soil. Since then, the success of season one led to a season two greenlight with much more potential to present a story greater in depth, size and scale to up the ante, and thanks to another victorious fundraiser back in March, Ziede and his team plan to do just that. Of course, what this means is a threat greater than just a few rotten apples. That’s right. Our heroes will now be dealing with a horde of high-level mercenaries led by a criminal cyberterrorism organization aimed at targeting the world’s financial markets from within the U.S.. […]

Bueno's New Short, YAKUZAMBIE Will Rip Your Arm Off And Take Your Watch!

Gun Caliber star and director, Garage Hero’s own Bueno has been hard at work lately with a new project stemming from his time at YouTube’s House Of Horrors in the last few months. That very project began showing signs of life a short while back with a teaser for Yakuzambie, throwing back to the glory days of grindhouse horror and stylish action with actress Seikiguchi Aimi and actor Kimura Keisaku leading the way. This week, that concept has since arrived in the form of a five minute trailer now available online. Sure, it’s only a shortfilm trailer, but it’s fun as hell to watch, chock-full of sexual innuendo and host an amalgam of dazzling buckets of body parts, gore and stylish action – sexy kunoichi attacks and mafia kicks aiming straight toward the niche it was meant for…as well as your face. So, no. You won’t be disappointed. Just entertained […]

New Posters And Trailer Arrive For Tsui Hark's THE TAKING OF TIGER MOUNTAIN 3D

The promotional campaign has been a slow and steady one throughout the year for director Tsui Hark‘s latest offering, The Taking Of Tiger Mountain 3D. This week however, Bona Film Group is picking things up with a promotional blitz for the epic period actioner, packaged with new trailer and a flurry of new character posters to boot. The film bares roots in history as late author Qu Bo’s 1957 debut short novel prior to becoming a popular Beijing opera during the 1960s, all based on a real-life event that took place in 1946 during the Chinese Civil War about a hero Communist soldier who infiltrates a gang of bandits. It’s a story of war, strategy and intrigue, and for our dear legendary director, that also means epic gun battles on skiis, Mexican standoffs, a dash of romance, and yes, maybe even a 3D tiger, but who’s complaining? The Taking Of […]

Here's Another Batch Of Online Action Shorts From Around The Web!

As many of you all know in partaking in our collective readership, I also try to share the spotlight with all the various talented performers out their presenting their own short test fight samples online.

So, in the spirit of keeping up with independent artists, I’m now presenting clusters of micro articles like this. It probably won’t be a weekly thing, but if it helps entertain and grant folks an opportunity to share their craft more, then all the better. So, here goes!

THE KICKBOXER Reunites Pyun And Mitchell, Gets New Format, New Synopsis And Start Date!

Artwork by Glenn Cochrane It’s been well over a year and a half since filmmaker Albert Pyun announced a handful of details for an online serial return to the set with martial artist and actor Sasha Mitchell spinning off the Kickboxer saga. That was three months before stating his retirement from film after a 32-year long career upon being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the time, although thankfully, the award-winning director has since remained upbeat with good consultation on his health from doctors and the support of wife and business partner, Cynthia Curran. That said, previous activity on Pyun‘s Facebook page in the past year indicates he had still been brewing a few ideas with the intent on returning to the Kickboxer franchise in some capacity, long after directing two of the four films succeeding the first film with Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1989 from Mark DiSalle and David Worth.

Hypnotic Samurai Drama DARK SAMURAI Gets A New Teaser!

Versatile actor David Sakurai is back with another step forward in immersing himself as an action star with writer and director Sidney Lexy Plaut‘s latest feature-length endeavor, Dark Samurai. The new film, produced by Adriana Filipczuk and executive produced by Lene Borglum (Only God Forgives), takes on a visually intense, arthouse-style approach to its multi-dimensional story focused on iconic samurai warrior and author Miyamoto Musashi. Sure, it’s a switch in gears for Sakurai following his electric performance in the martial arts action short, Echoes Of A Ronin, but presents an otherwise stunning and solid new look while stepping into more contemplative territory for its surreal setup. via Twitchfilm: Dark Samurai is inspired by the legend of Miyamoto Musashi, who was one of the most famous Japanese ronin and warrior philosophers. This alternate and very visual interpretation of the fate Musashi is brought into a mixture of a contemporary Yakuza underworld […]

Watch The New Teaser For Upcoming Short, VENGEANCE…MAIS From Aballa Stunts!

Screenfighting and filmmaking company, Aballa Stunts is still thriving from time to time. Support is close to nil on their home territory despite aiming to put their native Algeria on the map for action cinema, a circumstance shared by many parts of the world, and its safe to say that achieving this kind of goal will ultimately take some time, as well as effort. This month, that effort can now be seen continued in the upcoming short, Vengeance…Mais, a French-language crime thriller directed by Mohammed Besbas and centered on a story of one cop’s search for vengeance against the men who killed his little brother. No English-subs here, but clearly the footage seen in the new teaser is something that aims for something cool to present, especially for fans of martial arts and indie action.

Jude Law Up For A Villainous Role In KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE

It’s been a while since I saw Jude Law swing a sword, I think. But it will be nonetheless refreshing to see him on the big screen in medieval fashion for the forthcoming production of Knights Of The Round Table from Warner Bros. Pictures. and Village Roadshow Pictues. Variety reported on Friday that Law is currently eyeing the part of a villain role in this, his possible return to the set with Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 director Guy Ritchie who was attached to the film this year. If confirmed, Law would join actor Charlie Hunnam in the title role of King Arthur along with lead actress Astrid Berges-Frisbey in the role of Lady Guinevere based on the story of the legendary 5th and 6th century British leader whose life has often been a source of folklore through books, film and television; actor Idris Elba was previously rumored for a supporting […]

Upcoming Action Short, BREED OF HUNTERS Gets An Extended Intro Clip

Independent productions can take great lengths of time to put together, a fact known full well for actor and martial artist Wildchild Gil Sanabria following an earlier teaser for his upcoming shortfilm thriller, Breed Of Hunters. The project was already on its way a bit before then, but slowed down due to necessary rewrites following a departure from one of the actors involved. Rewrites are currently being done for the project which is now expected to fully commense hopefully earlier next year with a new script and cast (and possibly a new title) to accommodate an otherwise great-looking, original project. Breed Of Hunters follows the story of Giovanni Fierro, an inside man for hire, who gathers and sells information in the underground world. He later gets caught in between two sides of justice when he comes across top secret government information revealing an ulterior agenda. While we await further info […]

Check Out The Teaser For This Mystery Project From Danish Action Team, STUNT 360

European Stunt School founder, filmmaker and longtime stuntman Jacob Sebastian Malm is currently in his eleventh year of activity with Copenhagen-based international stunt and screenfighting performance team, Stunt 360. It’s been a busy year for Malm and his team, and will continue to be so in 2015 as he and his team make their way in the industry on an international level, and fortunately, these plans won’t infringe on what they currently have going on for their own projects as well, as indicated by a recent teaser they have available on their channel showcasing U.K. martial artist and stuntwoman, actress Lauren Okadigbo. The teaser is quite short, but there are plans to extrapolate this project into something much larger with more parts. What that could mean is still a mystery, but Malm has clearly become comfortable in the past year or so while working with Okadigbo, whose background includes Cecily […]

WB To Host Marathon Monday This December For THE HOBBIT TRILOGY

The Hobbit saga has to be one of the biggest, most beloved and successful franchises of all time. The books by author J.R.R. Tolkien already have generations of followers and while the goal toward a cinematic rendering of the epic middle-Earth saga may have been long and enduring as any journey for any Hobbit beyond the Shire, director Peter Jackson‘s passion for the immensely layered and fantastical tale has proven itself with substantial results. And as such, with the forthcoming theatrical release of The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies next month, Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures are now engaged in some major event planning to host at various theaters for screenings of The Hobbit trilogy on Monday, December 15 for all the über-fans of the property.

Actress Yu Nan Shows Her Stripes In New WOLF WARRIORS Character Posters!

Nary a word is being said just yet about action star and debut director Wu Jing‘s commando action thriller, Wolf Warriors, which won’t see the light of day until its January IMAX release in China next year. Hopefully though, the film managed to succeed its dealings while gracing the presence of an audience this month at the American Film Market and hopefully fans will get to see just what Wu has in store for this, his second to last performance on film. Besides, any martial arts action fan in their right mind wouldn’t say no to anything as awesome as watching Wu go toe-to-toe with Scott Adkins (Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear), and with any luck, we’ll see how this plays out soon enough in feature-length fashion. In the meantime, the film is getting an awesome 2D, 3D and IMAX release in China next January, and with little more than just a […]

Another New Trailer Is Online For AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON!

The next five years will be most interesting and exciting for anyone looking forward to what the future awaits following writer/director Joss Whedon‘s Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Basically, expect a whole universe of superheroes and villains alike to assemble in an epic story that will see wars on all sides, something you will want to keep in mind with the pending release of Captain America: Civil War a year and a half from now. In the meantime, our heroes have a bit of a headache on their hands, involving a maniacal mechanial A.I. robot known as Ultron (James Spader), who, like most Marvel villains, wants to see the world burn. And as powerful as his semi-accidental creator, Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) made him, it’s going to take a lot more than a Hulk and a Hulkbuster to stop him. That story will unfold when Avengers: Age Of Ultron […]
