The First ATTACK ON TITAN Film Releases Its Official Teaser

Director Higuchi Shinji‘s live-action sci-fi spectscular, Attack On Titan is gearing up for a two part release on August 1 and September 19, respectively. That said, the film is poised to be a major blockbuster as it is with fans currently in cheers over new footage unveiled on Japanese television the other day, and now the official teaser itself from that very same footage is finally here, minus the TV annotations. SYNOPSIS: The sudden arrival of the Titans—mysterious, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour human beings one after the other—brings mankind to the brink of extinction. Fast-forward more than 100 years later. What remains of the human population now live in relative peace behind massive walls that were erected to defend themselves against the Titans. Yet once again, that peace is shattered when a Titan measuring over 50 meters tall smashes through the wall, allowing a horde of other Titans to […]

THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED Debuts Ed Skrein In The New International Poster And First Trailer!

Let’s face it: There’ll be no shortage of criticism from here on out for director Camille Delamarre‘s latest remake effort, The Transporter Refueled, following last year’s Brick Mansions, unless this one manages to impress the fanbase. Actor Jason Statham made the previous trilogy what it is a deacade prior to its television pivot a few years ago with actor Chris Vance, which also garnered some positive reactions enough for two seasons. Nowadays, with remakes still a thing among studios, it’s up to actor Ed Skrein (Game Of Thrones) to take the wheel of this epic franchise on wheels and while he himself presents his own sense of gravitas here in the role of a younger Frank Martin in the new teaser, Skrein‘s got some big shoes to fill. For better worse, that day comes on June 19. SYNOPSIS: The producers of “Lucy” and the “Taken” trilogy bring you the next […]

John Woo Returns To Action In 2015 For MANHUNT

Masterful action auteur John Woo‘s most recent efforts with the two-part romantic epic, The Crossing, met some lackluster commerical results upon its release late last year while its second half could arrive in May. In the meantime, the legendary director is refilling his plate once more following updates from the blurbosphere in lieu of this month’s events at the Hong Kong FilMart where Media Asia unveiled a new poster announcing their development for the new revamp of a classic Japanese novel and its proceeding film. Manhunt is the name of the film which doesn’t have a cast yet, but bodes excellently as an action thriller that centers on a lawyer who must set out to clear his name after being wrongfully accused and framed for robbery, rape and multiple murders. An adaptation of late author Nishimura Juko’s classic novel, Kimi yo Funnu no Kawa o Watare from publisher Tokuma Shoten […]

Reel Deal Action's Feature Debut Gets An Official Title!

It’s a slow, but steady pace for the current post-production of the new martial arts caper comedy, once under the working title, 4 Gewinnt, from debut directors Ufuk Genc and Michael Popescu. The film marks the latest collaboration between post production studio, CineChromatix, Papermoon Films and German martial arts action performance and film troupe, Reel Deal Action, in a feature debut that sets its sights on delivering a promised tale of unyielding friendship, coupled with spectacular pound-for-pound comedy and raw martial arts action to boot, and all within the city of Berlin as its backdrop. A current sampling of this amazing footage can be found in an electrifying six-minute promo reel at German-language media broadcasting platform, Mitteldeutscher Rundfun, by CLICKING HERE.

Check Out A Glimpse Of Higuchi Shinji's Live-Action ATTACK ON TITAN Films!

It’s been mostly a tale of posters since late last year for director Higuchi Shinji‘s forthcoming live-action two-part fantasy epic, Attack On Titan. Nonetheless, the excitement has been all the same among fans familiar with the manga as well as the animated series, and with the August 9, 2015 date steadily approaching, the film finally garnered some impressively grim, epic footage via Japanese television. The film, prior to its second part arriving in September, is based on the 2009 manga of the same name by author Isayama Hajime, which centers on a group of warriors led by Eren Jaeger, forged in his upbringing as part of mankind’s best hope against man-eating eating giants. The cast lists Miura Haruma as Eren Jaeger, Mizuhara Kiko as Mikasa, Kanata Hongo as Armin, Miura Takahiro as Jean, Sakuraba Nanami as Sasha and Ishihara Satomi as Hans/Hanji, with Hasegawa Hiroki as Shikishima, Matsuo Satoru as […]

Garland: 'There Will Be No DREDD 2'

2012 brought movie goers our best possible chance at watching a decent adaptation of the 2000 A.D. title comic book, Dredd, with Pete Travis directing and lead actor Karl Urban starring, and the reviews consistently poured in to base claim appropriately. Unfortunately, the film commercially faltered and while some say this was due to bad advertising, others suggest that it probably suffered from the longstanding stigma behind its less-than-exemplary predecessor in 1995 with actor Sylvester Stallone at the time. Nevertheless, social media became the ultimate tool for fans of Urban‘s performance seeking a sequel and any and all updates have pointed minimal, yet hopeful signs that another would come eventually. Blurbs from tge filmmakers, Urban, lead actress Olivia Thirlby and even as recently as executive producer Adi Shankar have kept the movement going while other inspired content creators have lended their efforts to maintain the continued tone of Travis’s film […]

Watch William Forsythe Turn His Frown Upside-Down In The Latest Trailer For LAUGH KILLER LAUGH

You don’t always hear stories about people who wake up from a comatose state with sudden changes made to their behavior or brain function, but when you do, it’s always phenomenal in its remarkability. Now take said phenomenon and apply it to a fictional tale similar to what writer and director Kamal Ahmed has in mind and you get Laugh Killer Laugh, a character dramedy seemingly equal in its delightful and dark moments that you can’t pass up seeing actor William Forsythe in a role like this. SYNOPSIS: A jewel thief named Frank Stone is a very deeply disturbed, antisocial milquetoast who finds no joy or humor in anything—until he awakens from a deep coma with a changed personality. Tom Sizemore and Bianca Hunter also star. Check out the trailer and be sure to catch the film on April 24 in its limited theatrical and on-demand release.

Check Out The New Teaser Poster And Animated Banner For THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2

The final chapter is about to arrive this November with director Francis Lawrence‘s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, wrapping up the epic dystopian war saga with lead actress Jennifer Lawrence in a role that has earned her some notable accolades last year on top of box office success. The film is yet one in a batch of sprawling PG-13 franchises that have further evolved the way stories are being told with several other studios following suit, which is quite telling considering this franchises’s success since 2012, and on that note, we needn’t look further for a reason why than the content, attributed to young adult audiences largely familiar with the books from which the movies are based. And no, I’d bet Lionsgate isn’t complaining in the very least. SYNOPSIS: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 now brings the franchise to its powerful fourth chapter in which Katniss Everdeen […]

Brothers At Arms Test Their Might In Episode Two Of CAMBODIAN KILLERS. Watch It Right Now!

It was last October that actor, martial artist and filmmaker, Usurp Productions’s own D.Y. Sao took a leap forward in telling his own story with the new action miniseries, Cambodian Killers. While experimental at its core, the project has so far been a telling phase of progress for Sao as he moves up in film, and, like other indies, it does drive the imagination toward wondering how even more awesome it would be in its perpetuity if the right people came on board to help make this into something bigger. Having partly partaken in this project myself, I’m pretty biased here and I would proudly welcome it. Billed with a cast of talented actors in action cinema with Sao leading, Cambodian Killers focuses on a tale of brotherhood, turmoil, drama and danger that ensues when Joker, a reformed pugilist living in Cypress finds himself at odds with Aiko, a powerful […]

Southern Hospitality Takes A Harrowing Turn In The Latest Miniseries, TY BURNHAM: THE LAST ASIAN COWBOY

I can’t recall the last time I’ve ever seen an Asian cowboy myself, and you’d be forgiven all the same. However, leave it to filmmaking duo Erik Lu and lead actor and creator Michael Rosete who are hell-bent on setting the record straight with their latest fish-out-of-water dramedy webseries, Ty Burnham: The Last Asian Cowboy, a story filled with a good share of tongue-in-cheek moments as well as some purely dramatic, exciting and brutal moments to boot. DESCRIPTION: In a limited miniseries event, Ty Burnham, an earnest–and somewhat naive–cowboy, finds himself in New York CIty and experiences people, places, and situations you’ll only find in the Big Apple. While searching for his brother, Ty navigates the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly, and finds it harder and harder to stay true to himself the longer he stays.  Watch as Ty experiences three distinct worlds in these episodes: the unexpected, the obscene, and the […]

The next installment in Universal Pictures’s road-raging action adventure franchise, Furious 7, is just a little over two weeks away.

Well Go USA Unveils The Trailer For Panna Rittkrai's VENGENACE OF AN ASSASSIN!

When it comes to delivering memorable action sequences on film, late legendary stunt auteur and filmmaker Panna Rittikrai has led quite the eclectic career, having left a lasting impression on fans with a number of films in the last several decades. Without question, each title pulls out more and more stops to blow away audiences to the point of heart-pounding trepidation, and the proof is in the pudding. That said, the proof couldn’t be more prevalent in his final piece of work, Vengeance Of An Assassin, which released theatrically in Thailand late last year reuniting Rittikrai with action star Dan Chupong since Dynamite Warrior and the 2004 remake of the action classic, Born To Fight. Of course, reviews differ between those who’ve seen the film already, but there’s no mistake when it comes to the cinematic standard that Rittikrai had become so well known for up until passing away last […]

Actress Natalie Martinez is currently poised to appear in NBC’s forthcoming series pilot, Warrior. In the meantime, Colt 45 helmer Fabrice Du Welz‘s new crime thriller, Message From The King is taking off this month in Los Angeles courtesy of the kind folks over at The Ink Factory with leading man Chadwick Boseman front and center, and a new report from Deadline has since confirmed a role for the actress as well.

SKIN TRADE Brandishes An Official U.S. Poster

There have been a few posters floating around in the wake of the latest official trailer for Ekachai Uekrongtham‘s international action thriller, Skin Trade.

As such, feel free to glance toward the end of the album beneath the trailer where you will find the first, second, and then third, official poster for the film courtesy of Uproxx.

The reviews are online for the upcoming release of director James Wan’s Furious 7 which welcomed attendees for a surprise midnught screening at SXSW in Texas on Sunday evening, and albeit mixed opinions and such, the verdict is good. VERY good! At any rate, this film is already promoting itself, so it needs no help at this point for a film that will become a box-office slam dunk in three weeks. But… for the lovely and charming Michelle Rodriguez and Ronda Rousey, I had to share these gems. Yummy!
