Nassim Lyes Unleashes MAYHEM! In The Official Trailer For The IFC Films Release!
It was last summer when “Gangs Of London” cohort Xavier Gens’ newest action adventure thriller, Farang, enjoyed its Fantasia Festival world premiere as Mayhem!. Having since been acquired by IFC Films and garnering a slew of enough buzz quotes to rival the levels of violence and spectacle being touted since its French rollout over the summer, we now have an official trailer which you can view below ahead of its theatrical and On-Demand U.S. release on January 5. A martial artist and ex-con Sam (Nassim Lyes) starts a new life in Thailand to escape a local gang lord, but a kidnapped family member sucks him back into the underworld he’d left behind in this propulsive action spectacle. I’m jelly of anyone who’s seen this film already. At any rate, that release date is just after my birthday so maybe I’ll finally get to treat myself to a nice night out […]
FARANG: Don’t Miss The Ballistic Official Trailer For The New Xavier Gens Action Thriller!
I’m guilty of hyping a lot of things, especially in reactionary form. Also, I particularly enjoy being right about these things, and so when I see the first official trailer for Xavier Gens’ latest feature action thriller, Farang given my previous post, I can sit comfortably in the notion that my friend Monsieur Ambroisine was likely onto something. The same can invariably be said for the good, kind folks at Fantasia Festival who will be lending Gens’s new movie World Premiere status this July under its international titling, Mayhem!. The film, featuring French-Algerian actor and martial artist Nassim Lyes and action sequences by Gangs Of London vet Jude Poyer, will release in France on June 28, and was also included in the first wave of titles announced by Fantasia a few weeks ago. Here’s how they pitched it: XAVIER GENS BRINGS SHATTERING FISTFULS OF MAYHEM! Xavier Gens (FRONTIER(S), GANGS OF […]
FARANG: Nassim Lyes Is On The Run In New Stills For The Latest Xavier Gens Actioner Coming In June!
If you’re curious any as to what Xavier Gens has been up to since Gangs Of London and Netflix series Mortel, of course there’s The Guns Of Christmas Past which is inbound with Liev Schreiber up to star. In the meantime, you have Farang, which imaginably slipped past the radar of anyone (and I mean yours truly) who isn’t regularly exposed to French media. Welp, glad I caught it this time, and with a few stills and a little something extra to boot. These were actually made public a few weeks ago too, and present a look at actor Nassim Lyes who stars in the role of a boxer and father on the run from his troubled past, and for a role of this kind, his background in MMA aptly suits him. Check out the images in the gallery below! Sam is a professional boxer about to be released from […]
