THRONE: THE LIFORIAN ODYSSEY: Witness The Birth Of ‘A Brand New Original IP’ In Aaron Toney’s Proof Of Concept Fantasy Action Pilot
In keeping up with the burgeoning potential of today’s independent film and stunt-talented creatives, Monday saw the premiere of actor and filmmaker Aaron Toney’s (Wolf Warrior 2, Debt Collectors, One More Shot) passion project, Throne: The Liforian Odyssey. The nine-minute shortfilm marks the latest phase in Toney’s proof of concept which began roughly a decade ago with the birth of a spectacular, action-packed martial arts short. “Even though this has been such a long journey, I know it’s still like, the beginning, because no one knows about this,” said Toney, who took to speaking with viewers while livestreaming the project on YouTube on Monday. “We need to go ahead and build a fanbase because, this is a brand new original IP, so we’re putting this out so that people can know that it exists.” Toney’s Thone: The Liforian Odyssey, is a continued evolution of that IP, now with updated costumes, weapons […]
Aaron Toney’s ‘PROJECT H’ Project Gets An Official Title
There are lessons to be learned when you play the long game, and actor and stunt performer Aaron Toney (Falcon And The Winter Soldier, The Debt Collectors) exudes this in much of his work after nearly two decades in stunts and screenfighting for film and television. With an additional eye toward creating and filmmaking, we now get to taste just a little more of what’s to come with a new look at the official title, poster and logo for Toney’s long-awaited, crowdfunded endeavor, Throne: The Liforian Odyssey. Formerly titled “Project H”, there are no plot or story details are available other than some key voice narration from Toney in the teaser above, as well as what’s been released as of last year with a small logline that reads the following: The story of a king in a new frontier, trying to fight his way back into the hearts of his […]
PROJECT H: Aaron Toney Reveals New Photos For Upcoming Fantasy Action Pilot Now In Post-Production Through Indiegogo
Actor, filmmaker and stunt professional Aaron Toney revealed two new images over the weekend for his upcoming independently-produced pilot, Project H, which you can view in the captioned images above. Toney made the reveal in a new Indiegogo campaign launched several days ago to help crowdfund the pilot’s post-production, after completing a five-day production slate spanning a month from mid-March. The campaign ultimately achieved its goal of $2000, having since broken past the $3600 mark (as of this article) which could potentially be used as funds toward another episode or to provide means to trek the concept to various marketplaces virtually, and help him and his team expand his reach. An official statement has not yet been made. Project H is based on Toney’s viral action-packed short, Throne, which he shot in 2014 with over two dozen performers, from a concept he drew together with fellow creatives Jason Sweat and […]
PROJECT H: Aaron Toney’s Martial Arts Fantasy Pilot Commences Principal Photography
In an announcement from actor, director and stunt professional Aaron Toney sent to us on Tuesday, Toney revealed the following: “Production has officially kicked off with Aaron Toney and his entertainment company, Halvon Corporation Entertainment. The crew is set to work for three days in the Mojave desert region on the new pilot for Halvon Corps first show “Project H”. Billed as a pilot for a planned series, Project H stems from Toney’s martial arts fantasy-infused indie short, Throne, born from the like minds of Toney along with Toney, Jason Sweat, and Linda Jewell. The concept remained in quiet evolution ever since then, while Toney continued working stunts, most recently retiring the Falcon costume after doubling Anthony Mackie’s character on Falcon And The Winter Soldier, which is now airing on Disney+. Toney revived the project in an official crowdfunding campaign back in December, hailing Project H as the official launchpad for Halvon […]
PROJECT H: ‘Buffalo Boys’ Star Yoshi Sudarso Joins Aaron Toney’s New Action-Packed Series
Actor Yoshi Sudarso is the first official casting addition to Project H, a new and independent series endeavor from actor, stunt performer and filmmaker Aaron Toney. The series, which hails from the newly-launched Halvon Corp. Entertainment and Global Forge Studios, signals the newest evolution of Throne, an action-packed and SFX-infused proof-of-concept shot in 2014 with Toney on both sides of the lens. “This project is coming from the hearts of people who love the action genre, so you can bet there’s gonna be a lot of action in this.” says Sudarso in the announcement video published on Monday. “…I’m really excited to introduce to you guys, my character. We’ve been building it for quite some time now, maybe a few months at least and – the weapons he gets to use and the powers that he has – I’m trying not to give it away too much, but I’m really […]
THE HIT LIST: December 9, 2019
With 2019 winding down, there’s only one more Hit List to go after this, and I am thoroughly impressed to see such amazing work going into the holidays. Nilly Masa Cetin is first in our usual jam-packed stunt reel playlist to kick off the December 9 installment and I certainly hope to see more of her on YouTube going forward.

The trailers are definitely where it’s at and first up, […]

BLACK AND BLUE IN WILLIAMSBURG: An Evening With Aaron, Cheryl, And The Spirited Presence Of A Legendary Few
Somewhere in the wintery wonderland of Brooklyn… I’ve lived in Queens, New York all my life. Granted, I’ve been to four of the five boroughs but I’ve never seen much of the city in my time here, and it’s one goal in my life that I hope to accomplish among others. Brooklyn is surely no exception here as I’ve traveled to it quite a few times in recent years; the last time I saw Brooklyn was when I went to a birthday party in Williamsburg in 2013, and before that, a New Years’ Eve party for that year. And before that…well, I have no idea, probably a museum or a Circuit City when those existed but it was years ago and my head hurts trying to remember. At current, I’ve been to Brooklyn twice this year. My first excursion was to a place called Pig Beach and while the food […]
THE HIT LIST – November 16, 2015
It’s been a rather sobering weekend for some around the globe. I’ve personally kept busy with a few things myself to keep my spirits up though, and that included putting this week’s Hit List together, chock-filled with exciting, wacky and dazzling imagery to share, and I sincerely hope this week’s entries do something for you. So, as always to start with the first of the Hit List presents a slew of spectacular stunt reels, but I’m starting this bad boy off in the only way I could this week, and that comes from Hong Kong Cinema superfan Tony Coates with an extensive and well knit montage of career highlights centered on action legend Sammo Hung Kam-Bo. He’s called Big Brother for a reason and you need only look at his work of over fifty-four years and still counting to see why with more from him in store, including choreography on […]
Aaron Toney + 87 Eleven Present: NATALIE PADILLA Vs. TAMIKO BROWNLEE
Anyday is a good day to catch some amazing martial arts on the internet. Alas, pan over to actor and stuntman Aaron Toney who’s been maintaining his own growth in the world of film for sometime now. One recent example is the current post-production of his latest experiment in action design and independent film, Throne, which already has itself quite a promising teaser as of July. While we await the verdict on that project, Toney recently spent some time behind the camera with two other amazing action actresses for a new test fight sequence of their own. The video features Natalie Padilla and Tamiko Brownlee, and while I could say more about how great it looks, really (as Morpheus would say), you have to see it for yourself! Check it out now on Toney‘s YouTube channel, and please subscribe!
LBP Stunts Chicago Presents: AARON TONEY Vs. MICHAEL LEHR
Everyday is a good day when you get to see a project put together by independent filmmaker Emmanuel Manzanres, who took the time about a week ago to collaborate with fellow stuntmen Michael Lehr and Aaron Toney for the awesome test fight you can now watch below, courtesy of LBP Stunts Chicago. This little gem is being pitched as an homage to Hong Kong-style choreography by way of Donnie Yen, and while it isn’t the first of its kind you’ll find on YouTube, it’s also exemplary of Manzanres‘s flexible and evolving vision of action on film. Not to mention the performances by Lehr and Toney are very stellar and deserving of praise and approval by any action fan, including anyone eager to help produce a bigger-scale project to give folks like Manzanares the cinematic platform he deserves. Of course, the trend can never really move fast enough, despite moving at […]
The King Has Returned In The New Teaser For THRONE!
It’s great to live in an age where the online independent film scene has expanded to a point where bonafide stunt performers and martial artists are able to come together en masse and create something as epic as what actor, stuntman and co-writer Aaron Toney is currently brewing. Case in point: The latest teaser for Throne, the story of a king who sets out find the man responsible for framing him for the death of his own family. A co-production of PMV Entertainment and Halvon Corps Entertainment, Throne assembles a meaty handful of top notch action performers led by Toney, along with James Young and Brendon Huor, and it’s been a considerable matter of time for all the details to come out and help offer a better undetstanding of what this new project will entail beyond the actors involved. My previous discussions with Toney on the status of it so […]
What is Project: THRONE?
…That is the question, and it’s a pretty simple one, although very, VERY little is being willfully said about it since its conception earlier on. For now though, what we can go by is the information currently on display at its official Facebook page, including key names and companies, a very slow feed of stills, and a description that goes a little something like this: “THRONE” is the an epic, action-adventure film from Halvon Corps. Entertainment, PMV Entertainment (“JumpStart the Movie”), and the producers who brought you “Violence” and “Insecurity”! “THRONE” has an insanely talented international cast and crew led by Aaron Toney (“Gaurdians of the Galaxy”), James Young (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”), & Brendon Huor (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”). And it features the amazingly creative talents from EpicRival, Thousand Pounds Action Company, LBP Stunts Chicago, 87Eleven Action Design, EMC Monkeys, & Flow (just to name a few)! Stay […]
CAPTAIN AMERICA: TWS EXCLUSIVE – Interview With Aaron Toney And James Young
Captain America: The Winter Soldier was one of the most memorable filmgoing experiences I have ever had. It also comes with a distinct appreciation I grew over the years for the online independent action film scene which started making waves in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, with teams like Zero Gravity, Reel Kick, Thousand Pounds Action Company and many others. Stuntman, martial artist and action actor Aaron Toney is a prominent member of Zero Gravity and he recently joined Thousand Pounds member, fellow stuntman and choreographer James Young to talk with Film Combat Syndicate‘s resident contributor and movie critic, Darren Bailey, to discuss some memorable, candid moments from the set of the new film, as well as lifelong experiences in martial arts and stunt training, and much, MUCH more. And for the record, none of this would have been possible with the aid of Thousand Pounds Action Company, of […]
