CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Helmers Developing Chinese Superhero Trilogy

It must be great to be a Russo these days – specifically either Anthony or Joe Russo who are currently reaping the rewards of their efforts over at Marvel this month with Captain America: Civil War. Their momentum has since given them leeway to spark conversations with fellow film industry types in China following the establishment of their own production banner, Anthem & Song, and such conversations have now granted them a slew of projects they’re making public one day at a time. Their latest, however, is now being reported in the form of the development of a Chinese superhero franchise, according to THR. The Russos will co-produce the franchise tentatively titled A Hero’s Awakening (英雄觉醒) with Beijing FangJin Visual Media Culture Communication Company with the latter wholly financing with later investors to be determined in due time along with a budget. per THR: “It is fair to say that […]

REVIEW: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR – What, Are We Supposed To Be Cool Now?

Lee B. Golden III

I should mention right out of the blocks why I chose the above title for this review. It is a nod to a scene in the movie that, I will swear upon at gunpoint, was a last minute reshoot to directly poke fun at Zack Snyder’s poorly received Batman V Superman: This Is Seriously The Title They Stuck With. You’ll have to see both films to get the joke, provided you’re not already keen to it by the flood of social media memes on the topic. Why Captain America: Civil War is comparable to BvS is the themes. Both films are an approximation of America’s kaiju, specifically the kaiju eiga, our “movie monster” representation of the ongoing conversation on the consequences of 9/11, with BvS being the solipsistic nihilist’s handbook on the subject while Cap 3 holds upon its shoulders the heavier idealistic volume. And the audience has spoken its […]

It’s fair to say that directors Anthony and Joe Russo have met the standard for Marvel’s take on Captain America.

STUNT FIGHTING THE FUTURE: An Interview With Umar Khan

Lee B. Golden III

I’ve been back and fourth on multilinguist and multifaceted actor, stuntman, filmmaker and fight choreographer Umar Khan‘s YouTube channel for a few years now. It’s loaded with reels and highlights of his training and work as a martial artist and stunt performer working his way up, and all which are clearly working to his benefit to date. His efforts in past year have granted him the necessary credentials, tools and people necessary to help fulfill his goals of becoming a top-tier action director in the film industry, and with more growth to come in film and television. I have to say, it’s rare for me to meet someone like Khan of his caliber who happens to have a team of his own that is just beginning, and having seen what’s out there from other groups I’ve witnessed in the last decade along with sampling a bit of what Khan has […]
