Director Riccardo Gabrielli R. is officially on the radar this month pending the latest news on the upcoming production for his newest fourteenth century superhero adventure, Zambo Dende. With that in mind, the prospects of this film seem even more hopeful with the film’s reported backing from Disney, in addition to casting Chilean action star Marko Zaror for the title role just coming off of the heels with his most recent Fall 2014 festival favorite, Redeemer.

The actors are currently in Bogota, Colombia preparing for the film. Stovall previously shared the ring with Zaror for the stellar action sequences in Isaac Florentine’s 2010 MMA cult hit, Undisputed 3: Redemption, in addition to Mortal Kombat: Legacy for both respective seasons with Shahlavi and Lee. Gabrielli R may be relatively new for some as he is to me, the director is already known for his recent success with his 2012 thriller, La Lectora, as well as his latest film, 5. In lieu of this, the line-up here alone should provide confidence for another stellar cinematic hit in the months to come.
