Gareth Evans Finishes Final Script For Gangster Pic, BLISTER

Casting all things aside involving The Raid for the time being, director favorite Gareth Huw Evans has currently been in Wales working on his latest endeavor, Blister. The film already has some action sequences pre-visualized and though the plot is a secret at the moment, past reports show Evans describing it best as a gangster story with a humble nod to Sam Peckinpah and classics like The Wild Bunch. Considering all Evans has done so far and the favor he’s earned with fans, I’d say a film like Blister is in good hands while we await the film’s forthcoming production in 2016. That said, Evans has finally annonced the latest completion of the script via Instagram in post you can view below. So happy that I can finally say we have a locked script for “BLISTER“! Time to go cast this fucker! #nextfilm #nextyear #nextlevel A photo posted by Gareth […]

That said, Blister is still on the way with Evans having moved back home to the U.K. where the film will likely be set. As per his latest tweet, Evans is almost done preparing the script in which earlier hints have described it a contemporary gangster film with nods to The Wild Bunch. The film […]

Much of the fandom for director Gareth Huw Evans‘s currently brewing Raid trilogy has settled since the second installment released last year to much excitement and acclaim. So, it may be an uneasy thing for some to possibly have to wait an extra three years before the saga finishes, although it is rewarding to know that Evans‘s storytelling vernacular goes beyond one franchise. As such, Evans is now moving on to other properties, with at least two films now in-development, including the new movie, Blister. Not much is known about the plot of the film as of yet, although the director did offer a small blurb last year while on the road promoting The Raid 2, describing the film as his own take on “the contemporary American gangster story with echoes of The Wild Bunch”. Evans has since reunited with his fellow film folk in Indonesia, including Iko Uwais […]
