Japanese action continues its stride this year with Bad City, the long-awaited sophomore feature from stunt multi-hyphenate and filmmaker Kensuke Sonomura, best known for clinching the fandom in recent memory with 2019 freshman hitman thriller, Hydra.

ECHO 8: Catch The Brand New Poster Before The Official Trailer Launch On Friday

Aussie film duo Maria Tran and Takashi Hara are now days away from premiering the official trailer for their feature debut, Echo 8. The two jointly direct the pic as well as star in the film, which could arrive to audiences commercially as early as 2023. A highly trained assassin flashes between a nightmarish dream and her reality at a secret underground organization. When her latest mission involves killing a grieving mother, she realizes her target is closer to home than she realizes—much closer. It’s actually been almost three years since the start of production on Echo 8, hampered by some of the typical challenges of independent film – augmented by the severity of the Covid-19 no less. Production completed last February while Tran and Hara moved onto other work while plotting post production, with Tran herself having since taken up casting for upcoming Paramount+ Australia crime series, The Last […]

SPEED DATING: Shoot Your Shot At The Official Poster For Jean-Paul Ly’s Rom-Com Assassin Short [EXCLUSIVE]

FCSyndicate can debut the first look at official poster for Jailbreak star, actor and filmmaker Jean-Paul Ly’s new romantic action comedy short, Speed Dating, the latest creation out of JPL Films and Bad Guys Films following Ly’s 2018 thriller, “The Division”. The poster features actress Eloise Lovell Anderson (Villain, FX’s “The Bastard Executioner”), who trained for one month with Ly’s team prior to four daily production schedules a little over a year ago. Anderson stars as a secret agent whose latest side quest to find romance finds her sorely reminded that in her line of work, there are no days off. For Ly, it’s more than a proof of concept as it was also a vehicle to help elevate himself behind the lens, and explore a different side to filmmaking than what fans have grown used to considering his usual output (i.e. Jailbreak, Nightshooters, “Acéré”). To say the least though, […]

Don Lee Starrer THE ROUNDUP Takes To IMAX In New Poster Art

I credit Yoon Jong-bin’s 2014 period adventure, Kundo, for my own discovery of actor Ma Dong-seok. It’s been terrific seeing some of his regional work, and being around for his career growth of late from relatively known Korean movie star to a burgeoning international hitmaker now starring in Marvel movies and circling Stallone projects. Who knows how long it’ll be before Ma gets there though? Of course, his progression has only made it easier having coined the stage name, Don Lee for Western adaptability, and with that, his posterity remains with prospective films like the impending The Outlaws sequel, Lee Sang-yong’s The Roundup, which is due out in South Korea from the 18th, and in Hong Kong SAR as of the 26th. Indeed there are more territories to come for the film’s release while we have a brand new IMAX poster to celebrate the occasion which you can view below. […]

Meet Malay Warrior MAT KILAU In The First Poster And Character/BTS Reels

Crossing over to Malaysia for bit, we’ve got a handful of behind-the-scenes character reels and an official poster for Mat Kilau, the latest from director Syamsul Yusof who is best known for the first and second KL Gangster action thrillers, as well as the award-winning horror Munafik and its 2018 sequel. Production actually took place roughly four years ago and from a few online reads, it wasn’t an easy shoot. According to Yusof himself, Studio Kembara reseached the legendary hero for two years and eventually tried its own incarnation of “Mat Kilau” but failed to make headway with just fifty percent of it completed. When Yusof was tapped to take over the project, he suggest a redo with his own touch, and from that point on, production still hit a few snags, sans details. Nonetheless, four years in and with random photos all but standing as the only evidence of […]

OFAST: French Action Thriller From Luc Murat Gets A Poster

There’s literally nothing I can find at the moment for what looks like the latest action crime affair from director Luc Murat. He rejoins actor Pierro Murat (La dernière recrue, À Jamais) to direct Ofast which also has Rogue City actor, cinematic parkour pro David Belle among the cast listed in the latest poster that’s been circulating online for about a month now. The film had an exclusive screening at Cinema Le Lincoln in Paris last month and again, there’s no information to be found just yet. If anything, it should be an eye-opener for anyone who’s been a fan of Belle since his Banlieue 13 heyday, so peep the ink below and check back and hopefully there’ll be something else to tack on here.
