Japanese action franchise HiGH&LOW is going to Thailand in 2027 with the launch of new series venture, HiGH&LOW: BORN TO BE HiGH. Thailand’s GMMTV and Parbdee Taesuk are producing and mainlining the series with a cast of nearly a dozen A-listers in the region, including Nanon (Korapat Kirdpan), Sky (Wongravee Nateetorn), Nani (Hirunkit Changkham), and Pond (Naravit Lertratkosum). The story inherits the fascinating worldview of the previous “HiGH & LOW” series, and depicts a dynamic world unique to this new chapter through stylish action and the drama of young people standing up to protect their beliefs. HiGH&LOW exploded onto screens in 2015, featuring a talent array in the wheelhouse of management firm LDH, including members of Japanese supergroup, Exile Tribe.

If you followed Hong Kong action in any way shape or form, the No Retreat, No Surrender films spoke to you in ways that delighted and amazed you. The non-linear franchise from directors Corey Yuen and Lucas Lo and producer Keith Standberg made certain to place Hong Kong-stylized martial arts screenfighting on the forefront for Western audiences, creating one of the most memorable bundles of East-meets-West action cinema to hit kiosks for VHS store runts like yours truly. Nowadays, an independently-crafted version on Blu-Ray is up for pre-order at the Return Of Classics website. The product in question here brings us to the new documentary, The Untold Story of No Retreat, No Surrender. Its production, crowdfunded earlier this year, hails from directors Oliver Harper (Here Comes a New Challenger) and Christopher Stratton (FPS: First Person Shooter), and producer Sean David Lowe (The Last Kumite), with a handy roster of stars […]

I mentioned previously that I was inclined to believe that director/producer Pedring Lopez hasn’t lost his step after directing actioners Nilalang and Maria. A teaser had been circulating for his latest film, Shadow Transit, which is currently positioned for the QC Selects section of this year’s 13th QCinema International Film Festival which kicks off in Quezon City on November 14. That teaser wasn’t embeddable though and for that matter, probably wasn’t the preferred asset for Lopez’s new action noir as he and the good folks over at BlackOps Studios Asia got the gears rolling on its promotion. In any case, that all changed on Monday with the release of the film’s official trailer ahead of its QCinema festival premiere, with a cast led by Yoshi Sudarso and actress/recording artist, Qymira, along with KC Montero and Sanya Smith, and a script by Lopez. In the electric chaos of Manila nights, a […]
