Well how about this? It’s not everyday we get to see something versatile in storytelling and action, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a film in this genre that was LGBT inclusive in its characters.

As the two grow closer, we learn that Jane is a contract killer, hiding out after a job went wrong and a little girl was killed. Jane is waiting to meet up with her […]
Actor Sam Worthington is only a few months away from starting production in New Zealand with the rest of the accumulating cast of director James Cameron’s epic Avatar saga between now and the next several years. In the meantime, the actor also has his hands full on a lesser CG-heavy action thriller which he will start shooting next year in Hungary with director Jonathan Mostow. The film is titled Hunter’s Prayer, based on author Kevin Wignall’s 2004 publication “For The Dogs”, which received critical acclaim and made available in the U.S. that year and in several territories thereafter.

Casting remains […]

And this week, we now have a new extended clip loosely translated as “Other Blood” which showcases a little more of the film’s dramatic intensity, accompanied by some heavy-hitting action near the end which you can take a look below the synopsis. The trailers themselves look very impressive, and lately I got to look at some pretty cool online indie action gems that further showcase the potential from stunt professionals in that region. And feel free to educate me on this – truthfully, I don’t really know full well about the niche or the industry over there (with exception to what would have likely been a memorable Scott Adkins/Cyril […]
