Zaror, Trejo And Lee Board Olmos's Fantasy Action Comedy, THE GREEN GHOST

The fallout hasn’t been easy to deal with for fans since the mysterious debacle behind the stifled development of Mo’ Brothers films, Timo Tjahjanto’s The Night Comes For Us, and incidentally, Kimo Stamboel’s One Good Thing, the latter for which Redeemer star, action maestro Marko Zaror (pictured left, right of Arnold Chon) was supposed to be filming about now. Gladly however, this is not at all hampering Zaror‘s career as the film could very well possibly take off once again further somewhere down the line. In the meantime, the Chilean martial arts action star is now keeping firmly busy in Texas ahead of the upcoming production of the new comedy, The Green Ghost, from Mutt Productions. Splinter (2006) and Filly Brown (2013) helmer Michael D. Olmos is on board to direct from a script by Holy Hell (2009) scribe Rafael Antonio Ruiz, which centers on the story of Charlie, a […]

Directed by Riccardo Gabrielli R, the shortfilm is gearing up for a release in 2015 and the people behind the curtain are slowly rolling out these character posters in lieu of building up anticipation toward the day we get an official look at Redeemer star, martial arts action hero Marko Zaror in full costume, and hopefully that day will […]

AFM 2014: Marko Zaror's REDEEMER Gets A 2015 U.S. Release!

Seeing authentic, awesome martial arts action on the big screen is a dream as many of these kinds of films lately end up on the small screen. Very few make it to larger venues though, many of them which happen to be small-scale theatrical releases in some capacity. Granted, it’s a start, and can prove to be as memorable and exciting an experience when you’re in a room with the right crowd. That said, if you’re a Marko Zaror fan, then gear up with as many like-minded individuals as possible, because the Chilean martial arts action star is coming to North America with the release of his newest revenge flick, Redeemer.

Is ZAMBO DENDE Bringing Aboard Larnell Stovall?

Stovall, front and center Director Riccardo Gabrielli R. is officially on the radar this month pending the latest news on the upcoming production for his newest fourteenth century superhero adventure, Zambo Dende. With that in mind, the prospects of this film seem even more hopeful with the film’s reported backing from Disney, in addition to casting Chilean action star Marko Zaror for the title role just coming off of the heels with his most recent Fall 2014 festival favorite, Redeemer. Loosely based on a real-life tale in comic book form by author and creator Nicolás Rodriguez, the film will see Zaror starring as Azuk, a child who would rise from oppression to become a fighting force for the oppressed slaves of Latin America, ultimately foreseeing his royal destiny preset by the assassination of his mother. Further details about the film are little at the moment, but casting for the film so […]

Screener Review: REDEEMER (2014)

SYNOPSIS: Former hitman Nicky Pardo (Zaror) has made a deal with God. Pardo will begin every day by holding a gun to his own head and pulling the trigger. And every day he does not die he will take it as a sign that he is meant to continue hunting down the men he used to work for. REVIEW: By no means are your options limited here, particularly if you are a fan of the martial arts genre and always looking forward to something great to see. This was a lesson learned in my own evolution as a follower of these films while growing up, and as time passed, more and more talent has continued to emerge and drawing the attention of fans almost everywhere. Obviously this couldn’t be possible without the evolution of the internet, a tool that generally removes almost all boundaries so people can share a piece […]

Are 'MK Legacy's Darren Shahlavi And Michelle Lee Boarding Zaror's ZAMBO DENDE?

Superhero franchises and their respective adaptations aren’t merely limited to the popular brands introduced by companies like Marvel and DC. They exist internationally with characters many of us can’t discover for ourselves fast enough, so it comes with good graces that comic book creator Nicholas Rodriguez’s own property, 14th century superhero Zambo Dende could forsee a live-action movie with the help of Disney according to previous reports. Aside from this, we can pretty much do away with any speculation about Colombian filmmaker Riccardo Gabrielli R‘s intentions to properly blow our minds, speficially hinting at Chilean action star Marko Zaror as his leading man of choice. Best known for executing his fully-loaded arsenal of high-caliber martial arts screenfighting prowess in films like Kiltro, Undisputed 3: Redemption and the latest Fall 2014 festival favorite, Redeemer, it doesn’t appear that anyone would have a problem with this. I don’t. So, yes. Good times […]

Marko Zaror Counts His Blessings With Bullets In The Upcoming Production Of Assassin Thriller, REDEEMER

Chilean martial arts action superstar Marko Zaror has been one of the most influential cinematic performers of the past decade. And just after recently appearing opposite actor Danny Trejo in Machete Kills, it appears that the Undisputed 3 actor is ready to jump onto that very momentum he has earned since his early days as a stuntman and a trendsetting breakout action hero. Today, it is being announced that Zaror will re-team once more with director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza for a brand new Spanish-language action film titled Redeemer. The film is the second project being executive produced as of late by XYZ Films (the same studio behind The Night Comes For Us, The Raid trilogy and its forthcoming U.S. remake, in addition to Maori martial arts epic, The Dead Lands to name a few) with Zaror as the main lead since it was announced just a few years ago that […]
