THE EAGLE LANDS: A Word With KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC Co-Star, Stunt Performer And Actress Caitlin Hutson
Director Tomek Baginski’s new live action manga/anime adaptation, Knights Of The Zodiac, is currently enjoying a progressive global theatrical rollout that’s already earned the film a total of US $2.4 million following its releases in Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Kenya, Romania and Latin America as of this post. The film officially opens in theaters in the U.S. this weekend when Sony Pictures and Stage6 Films can finally begin tallying up the film’s reception, marking perhaps the next biggest trial ever to be faced by Masami Kurumada’s fan favorite IP given its history. That history is given a detailed and apt exploration in an online documentary hosted and narrated by Ray Mona, who dives well into the franchise’s reception and overall studio treatment of the epic animated saga on television and home media. Going into Baginski’s new movie, Mona’s Tales Of The Lost docuseries gave me a certain appreciation for Baginski’s efforts, […]
Start Your Week Right With THE CLASSIC FIGHT SITUATION, And Drink Responsibly
It’s Monday morning as I write this, and I’m starting off with a gem by way of Maria Gnecchi with some respite action and comedy courtesy of stunt performers Luis Pan Venezia and Alessandro Xavier De Silva – just a couple of bros in Rome getting caught up in the kind of situation that usually ends up on camera and in front of eyes of action fans. “Classic Fight Situation” it is, yes? Simple as that. Enjoy!
Make HASTE And Take Five Minutes Out Of Your Day For Aeddan Sussex’s New Action Short!
Two years after crowdfunding, shooting, and completing post-production on Haste, director Aeddan Sussex’s new action short is now online for the masses to take a gander at. That’s five minutes of snackable action and drama featuring UK stunt cats Jon Alagoa and Danny Darwin, with choreography by Alagoa, and a score by Justin Bell (The Matrix Resurrections, Cloud Atlas). Two rivals are brought together for a pre-arranged fight. While one man is reluctant, he becomes incensed once his foe reveals a secret, and will have to battle to discover the truth behind it. Festivals weren’t completely out of the question for this project with its entry last year at London’s Fighting Spirit Film Festival, winning the category of Best Short Film 10 Minutes And Under. That’s five award-winning minutes of lithe storytelling in a truncated period of time now at your disposal in the player below. Enjoy!
EARNING HIS TIGER STRIPES: A Word With ‘Twisting Tiger’ Director Joseph Le
If 2021 is perceived as a hallmark moment for Asian representation for film, 2022 certainly feels like a continuation, if not an augmentation of that progress. One purveyor that stands to gain from the current momentum happening in films of late is Joseph Le, six years into his craft under the Team Red Pro independent film label and having networked enough to gain traction for his own career and now sharing the revels with a lot of his own colleagues within the stunt and independent film community. In addition to his own work, he’s also worked with creators like Leroy Nguyen, Aaron Toney and Vlad Rimburg, as well as for a short time on the late Monty Oum’s hit series RWBY, and his resumè has only grown phenomenally with at least three major films productions so far. Best of all is Le gets to share space with friends like Brian […]
