There are people like you and me. And, there are people who wake up one morning and are like “Hm. I wanna see Idris Elba fight a lion, or something.” Welp, someone certainly deserves a thanks for handing Baltasar Kormákur (2 Guns) and screenwriter Ryan Engle (Rampage) a proper cup of coffee to keep them up and about and conjure what we now have in the official trailer for Universal’s latest, Beast. Sometimes the rustle in the bushes actually is a monster.

If you’re looking for more martial arts action on film 2016, you don’t need to look hard at all. It’s definitely happening and Hong Kong Cinema stunt veteran, producer and filmmaker Robert Samuels (Don’t Give A Damn, Red Wolf) has every intention of taking part in this foray with his feature debut thriller, Beast.

FIVE A DAY: A Look Into Some Indie Actioners For 2016

Lee B. Golden III

Well, I’m here to help try and fix that just a smidget with another list of five titles adding to the ten I’ve already covered; believe you me, if I could cover them all, I certainly would. There’s at least one other production purely worth mentioning as we approach the new year, and it’s a title I certainly hope sees a 2016 release. The film in question is the upcoming Germany-set martial arts adventure comedy, Plan B, which pits a group of struggling stuntmen and their manager against Berlin’s notorious criminal inner-workings in search of clues to a secret safe when one of their own is held hostage. The film is a premiere effort for directors […]
