Doug Liman To Helm Action Sci-Fi Drama Pilot, IMPULSE, For YouTube Red

Newly launched SVoD service YouTube Red is bringing Jumper to the small screen. For this, we turn to brewing developments of the new sci-action drama series, Impulse, based on the third book in Steven Gould’s Jumper novel series as YouTube Red looks to ramp up its line of programming, including sci-fi drama Lifeline from producer by Dwayne Johnson and Studio71, gaming comedy Good Game from producer Dan Harmon, and a Step Up reboot. Impulse will have its 2018 premiere on YouTube Red ahead of a series order with The Wall and Edge Of Tomorrow (a.k.a. Live.Die.Repeat.) helmer Doug Liman directing and executive producing. The hour long gender-bending pilot from Universal Cable Productions and studio-based Hypnotic is the first UCP series for YouTube, telling of Henry, a rebellious 16-year-old girl whose oddball standing from her peers often leaves her longing to venture away from her small town life. She eventually discovers […]

This weekend was another rough one… safe to say I need two of me. Nevertheless, I’m committed to the Hit List this week and have delivered the goods, the high falls, the hard-hitters and all! Right now, we kick things off like we always do, and that’s with the stunt players and demo reels of their own. Watch the latest from Alexandre Gay, Jennifer Li, Sam Slater, Pablo Verdejo, Kadia Saraf, Jesse Haus, Alessandro Romeo, Felix Quinton, Moe Alafrangy and Taz Garcia, as well as an illustrious Darth Maul-inspired lightsaber demo conjured by actor and martial artist Aaron Gassor. Up next, as always, we have a small list of test fights that I found worth sharing. The first comes courtesy of filmmaker Bryan Sloyer who dazzled us earlier this year with an amazing action short called The Keeper. He’s got a new BTS video for that project you can view […]

Tiger Chen Joins 'Man Of Tai Chi' Follow-Up, IMPULSE

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been well over a week since the 67th annual Cannes Film Festival wrapped up, and it’s difficult knowing that so much more happens than what most headlines can keep up with unless you have a huge staff glued to the internet. Especially on days like May 20, when an official press release went viral announcing the latest project for regular collaborator with Master Yuen Woo-Ping, actor and martial artist Tiger Chen. Reports indicate that pre-production is already underway for Impulse, the latest film from Crimson Pulse Entertainment. Although there is no official word yet on what the plot will entail, it is being pitched as the follow-up to actor Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut, Man Of Tai Chi which released last year in China leading up to its holiday North American release, which presents a small predicament in that it could be an original work, or a franchse sequel. Either […]
