PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND Reunites Sono, Sakaguchi And Young Dais For Nic Cage Thriller, Boutella And Skrein Also Join Cast

One of the best things to come out of Japanese cinema in the last twenty years is the budding friendship between actor Tak Sakaguchi and director Sion Sono. To date, their bloodlettingly hilarious 2014 action comedy, Why Don’t You Play In Hell? is one of my own loosely listed top-ten favorite films in the last ten years (I’ll probably make a decent list before the year is out… we’ll see), and it’s been an especially wonderful journey of my own to discover Sono during my readership of his work on numerous sites before launching my own.

Ed Skrein In Talks To Star In DEADPOOL With Ryan Renyolds

Think what you will of actor Ed Skrein in place of Jason Statham for the upcoming trilogy reboot, The Transporter Legacy. Sure, it’s not Statham, but knowing promise in store for another actor to take the helm in a prequelized setting could open the floodgates for something fresh and even possibly better, particualrly for Skrein‘s career following his stint on Game Of Thrones.

For this, we now learn that the actor is currently forging a path through talks with 20th Century Fox for the forthcoming first of the studio’s three planned X-Men universe movies for 2016, director Tim Miller‘s Deadpool, starring Ryan Renyolds. We also learn that Transformers: Age Of Extinction co-star T.J. Miller is up for a role, and while the details aren’t being made public just yet, report are already hinting that Skrein and Miller may be up for the respective villain and comedy roles, and some sites like Cinema Blend have a few ideas. Needless to say, speculation is all we have until then.

It’s another pretty good year for action movies regardless of how you feel, and hopefully many of current expectations will be met with some upworthy reviews. Skrein very well could be the next face of action cinema in the same vein of Statham circa 2002, so hopefully Deadpool will be an extension of that come February 12, 2016.

Kaya Scodelario Takes Aim In A New Still From TIGER HOUSE

Looking to make his transition from the theatre scene to film is director Thomas Daley for his newest action horror production, Tiger House. The latest reports mentioning the film are now hosting the first still of the film currently shooting in Cape Town, South Africa produced by Tiger House Films SA, and also marking the first production from Glass Man Films.

Starring Skins actress Kaya Scodelario, Tiger House sets the story at a home in the U.K. where she plays Kelly, an injured gymnast who is ultimately forced to fight back after a gang of armed intruders force their way in and take her boyfriend and his family hostage. The film’s plot is already gaining recognition for bearing a resemblance to that of Adam Wingard’s recent theatrical release, You’re Next. , which could be a good thing Wingard’s film became a runaway smash hit earning well over $26 million dollars from a $1 million dollar budget, and also putting its female lead, actress Sharni Vinson in the rumorsphere for possible hopeful roles as Elektra and Lara Croft. So time will tell if Daley will be able to repeat that success with Scoledario taking the reigns of action horror heroine this time around.

Also starring are newly casted Transporter 4 star Ed Skrein, and actor Dougray Scott for the film’s late 2014 release in the U.K. following its footage set to be screen at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, with Altitude Film Sales handling international sales aside from acquisitions already made by territories in the Middle East, and in German-speaking Europe. Releases in other territories may span into 2015.

Stay tuned for more information.
