BLOOD RUSH: Oka Antara Among Names Circling Ranjeet S. Marwa’s New Action Thriller [EXCLUSIVE]

Protracted development otherwise remains underway for the Ranjeet S. Marwa action thriller, Blood Rush, and several additional actors are now eyeing the project for varying starring and support roles. Among the lot is Balinese actor Oka Antara, who has been in preliminary dicussions with Marwa for a few days now. In addition, actor and stunt performer Andrew Suleiman will enlist in a small role next to working behind the scenes on fight choreography with Nick Khan. Character details are under wraps but I’m told both roles will assuredly contribute to the action scenes per the film’s narrative. Marwa launched the film at the top of the year for his Rocket Sky High film label. Actor Zack Lee (The Night Comes For Us, Headshot) is set to star as Max Wayan, a widower forced to battle his inner demons and fight his way out of a vicious cult in the time […]

With Street Society helmer Awi Suryadi and actor and martial artist Andrew Suleiman still working the festival rounds with their latest Holy Bastards proof short, You Can’t Hear Me, You Can’t See Me, I’m guessing we are not too far off from its online release. As for what that means for its feature film prospects, I am uncertain, although the short itself guarantees something particularly fun for fans of the genre, and I’ve said that many times in the past year and a half I’ve discussed it. For what it’s worth though and while we keep waiting for its full release, we do have at least ten seconds of it now online to share and view. For the unknowing, it’s ten seconds of Capoeira stylist, actor Verdy Bhawanta as a deaf mute during the key fight in which he and Suleiman in the role of a blind man, fend off […]

While director Awi Suryadi awaits his latest solo directorial offering in the upcoming Indonesian street racing actioner, Street Society, his latest partnership with co-director Dicky Fa will soon sail the winds of the internet with the release of the spectacular martial arts comedy shortfilm, You Can’t Hear Me, You Can’t See Me. Currently standing as a conceptual cinematic preamble to a hopefully much larger feature-length offering, the new shortfilm stars Andrew Suleiman and Verdy Bhawanta in a story of two friends, a blind soldier and a mute cat-burglar who are forced to fend off a small group of robe-wearing masked assailants bent on kidnapping their female host, a blind hipster songstress whose own music turns everything else off. Film Combat Syndicate previously had the pleasure to report on a private screener of the new shortfilm along with the public airing of some behind-the-scenes fight training footage illustrating some of the […]
