Now On Tubi: In GREEN GHOST AND THE MASTERS OF THE STONE, A Palatable Fantasy Action Comedy Adventure For All

Writer/director Michael D. Olmos’ latest martial arts action comedy adventure, Green Ghost and The Masters of the Stone, quietly landed on Tubi sometime this week and much to my own delight as the film was previously given a very (and I mean VERY) limited theatrical run earlier this year. The film is based on a concept birthed many years ago by Charlie Clark, a car salesman who ultimately found his way into bringing the character to life in a webseries format that now had independent production backing, and starpower to boot. That means having heavy hitters like Michelle Lee and Chilean action star Marko Zaror front and center, the latter wearing multiple hats on the project, including the role of fight choreographer which should entice anyone within reach of Zaror’s filmography in the last fifteen years. It also means having former Jackie Chan stunt cohort Andy Cheng, who has long […]

GREEN GHOST AND THE MASTERS OF THE STONE Trailer: Marko Zaror Kicks The Competition In Michael D. Olmos’s New Superhero Action Comedy

Lee B. Golden III

There’s something plenty fascinating about independent films that’s worth discussing. Otherwise, chalk it up to, well…time, seeing as it takes time to make a film. In all likelihood, it probably took more than seven years for Michael D. Olmos’s Green Ghost And The Masters Of The Stone the final product to flourish in time for its premiere at last year’s 20th Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival. Whatever the story is behind the wait, as far as we can tell following JoBlo’s AITH exclusive this week, the wait is now over as the film, formerly known as The Green Ghost, now has an official trailer (subbed AND unsubbed, but we’re sharing the subbed one…because we’re inclusive like that!), and an April 29 select theatrical release date from Gravitas Ventures. The cast is headlined by Charlie Clark whose own pre-existing webseries served as the basis for the film’s concept; Clark also […]

THE GREEN GHOST: Michael D. Olmos’s Long-Awaited Mexican Superhero Adventure Starring Danny Trejo And Marko Zaror To Premiere At LALIFF In June!

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been nearly six years since stirring up festival crowds with updates, including a short teaser, poster and an exclusive ten minute preview for upcoming superhero movie, The Green Ghost. Nowadays though, the Michael D. Olmos-directed fantasy action adventure is finally getting some more buzz going with news of its upcoming premiere as part of the line-up for the 20th Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival launching in June. This is the untold story of the true Maya Apocalypse that has been misinterpreted by scholars and was to have taken place on 12/21/12 – that was obviously wrong. A secret group of Mexican superheroes, known as El Trio de la Luz, are forced by destiny to include their bumbling adopted gringo into their group to join the fight to save humanity. Will the car salesman and local TV personality carry his weight and transform from the GRINGO into the GREEN […]

Former JC Stuntman Andy Cheng Fights Marko Zaror In The New THE GREEN GHOST Teaser!

Lee B. Golden III

Splinter and Filly Brown helmer Michael D. Olmos‘s new superhero action adventure, The Green Ghost, is starting to build up somewhat of a promotional campaign with a little something extra. In other words, with any luck, the newest 25-second teaser will attach soon to an upcoming wider release of Robert Rodriguez’s latest music video featuring Demi Lovato in “Condifent”, which should grant even more exposure for Chilean action star and co-star Marko Zaror who also makes an appearance. In the meantime, the new teaser is below long after the dust settled from the film’s ten-minute morsel put on full display in Austin, Texas about a week or so ago at Fantastic Fest. And to boot, we now get a whole ton of action with even more glitzy visuals and new footage, including Zaror at his most evil, glowing eyes and all. SYNOPSIS: The story of a car salesman who, as […]

Lee B. Golden III

Splinter helmer Michael D. Olmos‘s new film, The Green Ghost, has been picking up some steam for a while now since its first teaser launched back in June. This weekend, the film is poised to present ten minutes of the film at Fantastic Fest while we currently await a full trailer, although the film’s traction has guaranteed us our look at the first official poster art courtesy of Twitchfilm. Take a look! SYNOPSIS: The story of a car salesman who, as a child, was accidentally given superpowers from coming into contact with Aztec crystals and now has to overcome self-doubt in order to utilize those powers to fight off the fabled Lechusa, an Evil Titan of Industry and their gang of supercharged Aztec warriors, hell bent on using the crystals to bring back Montezuma. Actor and car dealer Charlie Clark toplines the film in this latest perpetual move from a […]

Marko Zaror Is Outnumbered By THE GREEN GHOST In The New Teaser!

Lee B. Golden III

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to take advantage of this weekend’s limited theatrical and VoD release of action star Marko Zaror‘s newest revenge thriller, Redeemer. He is not going away anytime soon as he’s kept himself pretty busy this past Spring over in Texas as the fight choreographer and starring villain in an upcoming superhero comedy based on an indie bilingual webseries that appears to have done well for itself in conjunction with public outreach to Hispanic locals in the Rio Grande area. Such is the case for The Green Ghost, originally the brainchild of actor and real-life car dealer Charlie Clark who stars as a car salesman born in the barrio and exists to fight crime. This time, we learn a little more about our character in a much more concentrated feature with Splinter helmer Michael D. Olmos directing, and a teaser is now making the rounds with footage […]

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

Lee B. Golden III

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 […]
