HAVOC: Tom Hardy Trudges The Underworld To Save A Life In The Official Trailer
“You have no idea, what I’ve done…”
HAVOC (Finally) Begins Additional Photography
Action thriller Havoc is finally underway with additional photography on the Gareth Huw Evans-directed pic. Production previously took place between July and October of 2021 before Evans hinted at some more needed work on the film in the last few years. Several factors hampered its speed in that time, including cast scheduling, the pandemic, and the strikes. In that time, Evans also took the time to refurbish his hit 2011 actioner, The Raid, which screened for select audiences and debuted on 4K disc back in January. With Havoc, the film had reportedly been complete with just five percent of production remaining. On Monday, Evans formally announced on Instagram that that cameras were rolling to get the rest finished. Contrary to rumours over the last 2 and a half years – today actually marks the first day of additional photography to finally complete HAVOC. It’s been a long old road filled […]

No word yet on the upcoming remagining though or if The Raid 2 will get an upgrade as well, so let’s all stay tuned and commence the celebration once again!
