Military Spy Action Drama, STRIKE BACK, Commences Principal Photography For Season Five Reboot
After ending its four season run on Cinemax in the Summer of 2015, my guess was as good as anyone else’s on what would become of the hit Cinemax/Sky series, Strike Back, if anything. Actors Sullivan Stapleton and Phillip Winchester led the show in its evolution as one of the most widely received military spy dramas to date and with uncertainty in the midst late last year, news broke last December of the show’s reboot with a fresh new cast roster, character breakdowns and possible story details. That reboot is officially taking shape as of the last several days and with Wednesday marking the first photo reveal of all four new Section 20 agents: Warren Brown (“Luther,” “The Dark Knight Rises”) as “Mac” McAllister, Daniel MacPherson (“Infini”) as Samuel Wyatt, Roxanne McKee (“Game of Thrones,” “Crossfire”) as Natalie Reynolds and Alin Sumarwata (“Burning Man”) as Gracie Novinas.

Sky/Cinemax Action Series, STRIKE BACK, Reactivates With A New ‘Fast And Furious’ Cast, Plot Details
I rarely get a lot of time for television most days. I do, however, try my best not to be too tedious when it comes to shows that get my attention in the best of ways – shows like the Sky/Cinemax series, Strike Back which ended with its fourth season just last summer. The series, which largely set its initial story within the purview of counter terrorism against groups like Al-Queda, followed a buddy cop formula with actors Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton as American and British military agents jointly operating within the covert ops Section program to take out the world’s most dangerous threats. Indeed, the show saw its fair share of twists, tragedies and so on and following the finale, it wasn’t long before a film was announced to be in development. News on that, if anything, remains pending. However, the trades are officially announcing news of a […]

Intergalactic Pandemonium In The New Trailer For Sci-Fi Space Epic, INFINI
Aussie director Shane Abbess was sure to find his way to better prospects in Hollywood following his directorial debut in the 2007 winning Andy Whitfield starrer, Gabriel. Of course, that was before he decided that much of the progress he’d hoped for in Hollywood wasn’t going to come anytime soon due to market saturation and the unpopularity of original content and evidently moved back to Australia where he eventually found himself in greener pastures for his latest contribution to the sci-fi action genre, Infini, which surely looks to give longtime sci-fi fans something to celebrate. SYNOPSIS: An elite ‘search and rescue’ team transport onto an off-world mining-facility to rescue Whit Carmichael, the lone survivor of a biological outbreak. A teaser went viral last year and now we have a full trailer for the film’s upcoming May 8 limited release from Vertical Entertainment. Daniel MacPherson and Grace Huang are joined by […]
