Nope, nobody took anything from actor Liam Neeson this time, but that won’t stop him going above and beyond the call of duty to deliver his own brand of justice in writer and director Scott Frank’s newest crime thriller, A Walk Among The Tombstones. The film is also likely love letter to book enthusiasts familar with the original 1992 publication of the same name by novelist Lawrence Block, centered on fictional lead character, Matthew Scudder, a former NYPD detective whose story is featured in Block’s 17 novels.
From L to R: Director Christian Sesma, actors Derek Mears, Darren Bailey and Luke Goss, co-producer A.J. Rickert-Epstein and producer Jerry Apodaca on the set of Lost Time.
The latest trailer is out for the forthcoming release of director Christian Sesma‘s new sci-fi suspense thriller, Lost Time. The film is one of several films fans can expect from the director with a few more on the way featuring actor Luke Goss, who plays Carter, a cop on a mission to rescue his dying girlfriend, Valerie, who ends up caught in a web of supernatural mystery after the sudden disappearance of her sister.
The film also lended quite a memorable experience for up-and-coming actor Darren Bailey (our resident film critic for The Bailey Review), best known for his work as fellow performer and co-founder of independent action film team, Thousand Pounds Action Company. Here, Bailey found himself in the good graces of familiar friends working on the film, including long time friend and film cohort, co-producer A.J. Rickert-Epstein, who brought Bailey on board as a stunt extra and stunt coordinator upon filming, a job that ultimately led to his next collaboration with Sesma for last year’s online Chill miniseries, Vigilante Diaries.
“I met Luke and the rest of the team on a separate shoot day so that I could pick Luke’s brain about what he wanted and present some of my ideas for the choreography,” Bailey said, regarding his time on set for Lost Time. “I knew Luke had a background in martial arts and has worked in big action films like Blade II, Hellboy II, and Tekken, so that put me at ease where fighting an actor was concerned. [Goss] couldn’t have been a nicer, more collaboative person, and we got along well.”.
Bailey continued, “Luke and I shot our fight scene in an alley adjacent to The Last Bookstore in L.A., and when that day wrapped, I was eventually invited to assist with a fight sequence shoot in a hospital scene between Luke and Derek Mears the following week. I let them talk through some of the choreography beats, stepping in when I thought something would sell better on camera, and brought along my stunt pads and mats for the actors, who did all their own stunts in the film.”.
While Bailey‘s current work lies with Hollywood 3D film conversion studio, Stereo D LLC., his passions mainly stick with acting over directing stunts, but he’s as humble about it as he’s knowledgeably eqipped with the skillset it takes to do the job. “Although I wasn’t asked to be stunt coordinator since that wasn’t what I was initially brought on to do, Christian and the producers credited and paid me accordingly as such…” he said. “I just wanted to make sure everyone was safe, regardless of job title and pay, and I love making movies, so to be thrown a bone like that was really unexpected and humbling.”.
Following its world premiere as an opening night selection for this year’s events 2014 Sci-Fi-London Film Festival, the film will finally release this September. Stay tuned further info and to keep in touch with Bailey’s daily happenings, subscribe to his official Facebook page and Twitter as well.
Lost Time stars Goss and Mears, along with actresses Rochelle Vallese and Lin Shaye, and actor Robert Davi.
SYNOPSIS:
Valerie leaves her doctor’s office with her sister, Melissa, after receiving horrific news. Valerie has terminal cancer and no amount of treatment will save her. While driving home together, their car suddenly stops and they are engulfed in a blinding light. Valerie blacks out and when she awakens, her sister has disappeared without a trace. Months later, Melissa is still missing, but Valerie’s cancer has completely disappeared, much to the disbelief of her doctor. Valerie, with the help of her cop boyfriend, Carter, devotes her entire life to finding her sister and to discover what happened to them on that fateful night. Valerie has considered every possibility for Melissa’s disappearance except for one—alien abduction. It would be insanity to think that aliens abducted her sister and cured her cancer. Or is it? Valerie’s dreams and visions of aliens would suggest otherwise. She stumbles across a book by a Dr. Reed called “Lost Time,” which seems to explain the phenomena she is experiencing. She goes to meet Dr. Reed, who promises her answers if she checks herself into his institution for evaluation. She agrees, against the wishes of Carter. What she finds in the institution is beyond explanation. Nothing is as it seems and the concept of reality is turned inside out! And what exactly is Dr. Reed—Human? Alien? Or a new strain of being entirely? It is up to Carter to rescue Valerie from the evil clutches of Dr. Reed and his alien minions, before it’s too late.
A group of Special Forces soldiers on leave after a successful mission in Iraq head out to a cabin in the mountains with their beloved wives and their children in the name of having a good time and getting some well deserved relaxation. But as the night falls, it brings with it an unexpected and particularly strong snow storm hence forcing everyone to remain indoors. The following morning, the men wake up to find their children dead and their better halves missing, with the only clue left behind being an odd pair of footprints in the snow. Panicked, the men fall back on their military training to get them through the dire situation. They proceed to arm themselves and head out into the wilderness to find their spouses. What they will encounter will prove to be cunning, deadly and not of this world.

News has been waiting in the wings for sometime now involving independent filmmaker James Lee and the plans he has brewing over in Malaysia for his upcoming original channel, Doghouse 73 Pictures. Today, the channel’s conception grows closer to its full realization with the launch of the official website with new projects announced for feature-length and short films, series and theater projects, in addition to other film-related merchandise as well. Of course here, what draws our attention is the action, like Lee‘s previous conceptual fantasy action short, Atlantis Conspiracy with Jourdan Lee Khoo and Sunny Pang.
This month, the first of several projects being actively lined up include the currently-developing full feature horror thriller, The Lives Of The Rabbit Men, and the upcoming short film that caught my eye, Second Life. The latter, another of Lee‘s visions looking to bolster the Malaysian film circuit on a feature-length level, has already been filmed and should be ready by the end of March, centered on actor Michael Chin who the plays a rogue agent who wakes up one day with no memory and finds himself on the run with a mysterious briefcase while being guided by an unknown voice following the unsolved murder of another woman.
Actress Charlene Meng and Michael Chen also star from a script by Lee and fight choreography by indie action stunt crew, Low Angle Productions who have since went public late last year with a training reel to whet our appetites which you can view below.
In other news, fans of Sunny Pang can expect to see more of him in the theatrical Malaysian release of Randy Ang’s new film, Re: Solve. For more information on Doghouse 73 Pictures, visit the official website and stay tuned for more information as it develops.
