The past several weeks have mostly seen Spanish-language headlines for the current production of the new action thriller, Stoic. Nowadays with the film’s star Antonio Banderas posting on social media, you can expect more English-language sites to finally pick up on the film currently shooting in Bulgaria.
The film brings Banderas, in his latest foray into the genre following The Expendables 3, together with martial arts action auteur, filmmaker Isaac Florentine in this, his 15th film. Banderas is joined by Karl Urban (Dredd, Star Trek: Beyond) Paz Vega (Sex and Lucia) for the story of a lawyer desperate for vengenace against the person who murdered his wife and son.
Tim Man, who stylized the fight fare for Florentine’s Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear and Todor Chapkanov’s Boyka: Undisputed, which Florentine produced, is directing the action to which Banderas had a front seat a week ago when he took one to his eye. Hence all the Spanish press. See the actor’s IG pic below.

Urban’s next appearance is expected to be in Taika Watiti’s Thor: Ragnarok in late 2017 while cooking for Banderas is Simon West’s latest multi-territorial AFM success, Salty, and Alain Desrocher’s Security. Stay tuned for more info on Stoic and we might actually get some trade news confirming extra cast details, producer and screenwriter credits and so on.
