THE SIEGE OF ROBIN HOOD: Paul Allica’s Debut Action Adventure Emerges With A Pair Of Posters
It’s taken more than five (count ’em…FIVE) years for actor, stunt performer and filmmaker Paul Allica to come as far as he has with his feature directing debut, The Siege Of Robin Hood. It’s been a journey imperiled with insurmountable odds at times – challenges that Allica has met head on through some pretty immense problem-solving and resourceful thinking.
Martial Arts Tournament Thriller THE TRIGONAL Teases Justice By Design In The Official Trailer
EXCLUSIVE: The bustling career path faced by actor, martial artist and filmmaker Vincent Soberano is one that seems to have been continually ripe at nearly every turn in the past two years. Several films completed in his wake and with more in tow with partnerships currently in bloom, he is well on his way into the summer film festival season with a momentous brand that moviegoers and action fans will be very keen on in the coming months if not already.
Further details are still pending following the news we broke last month for upcoming thriller, No Man’s Waters and romantic action comedy, Three Poles, but keep these titles in mind as we now look toward the forthcoming release of Soberano’s new tournament action thriller, The Trigonal. Actor and martial artist Ian Ignacio leads the film among a raft of screen talents comprising the story of a retired martial arts champion forced to step in the ring once more when his wife and best friend fall victim to the wills of an international crime syndicate invaded his small idyllic town to launch an illegal underground fighting circuit.
The film’s campaign has been on a slow and steady rollout with at least six mini-teasers introducing our cast of characters which also include actress Rhian Ramos, actor Christian Vazquez, and multi-faceted actress Sarah Chang who also serves as the film’s fight choreographer; also starring are Levi Ignacio and Monsour Del Rosario, along with UFC contender Li JingLiang, Leigh Guda, Wu Pei Xu, Jakab Goldin and Australian actor Paul Allica. As of early Monday at 10am (Manila time), Film Combat Syndicate is more than pleased to present an exclusive look at the official trailer while Soberano and his team at Cinefenio proudly gear up for a Cannes premiere on May 9 ahead of its release in the Philippines.
Mind you, a new release date may very well lead to some new promotional artwork which we will be sure to share as well. In the meantime, check out the trailer below and stay tuned for further infomation as it’s made available!
DOWN-UNDER THE ‘HOOD’: A Word With ‘The Siege’ Star And Producer, Actor Paul Allica
I forget what initially drew me into the direction of filmmaker and actor Paul Allica. It could have been just a random search for something to write about – whatever the case is, however, it doesn’t undercut why I’ve given him as much attention as I have since the summer, and deservedly so with the amount of work he’s been progressing with this year.

TAPADO: FIGHT FOR JUSTICE: Filming Starts On Vincent Soberano’s New FMA Action Drama
The film’s title itself is a word that stems from stick fighting in Filipino martial arts, one that no less speaks highly to Soberano’s contined goal of bringing FMA to the forefront of action by next year as there are already a few films brewing in the action genre in the region. Headlining are Soberano in reunion with several Blood Hunters cast, including actor Ian Ignacio for a story centered on a downtrodden MMA champion who journeys into the world of underground fighting to take down an elusive drug lord.
Help Robin Hood And His Ragtag Team Of Legendary Badasses Get Medieval For THE SIEGE!
You’re forgiven for being a little apprehensive when you’re introduced to a film that promises Raid-like expectations. Some titles make the cut while others fall may short, and nowadays you’ll find lead actor and producer Paul Allica lending his own effort to measure with the new period action thriller, The Siege.
This one promises a story featuring an assortment of notable medieval heroes and Arthurian legends led by the English folkloric outlaw himself, Robin Hood, as they descend unto a castle dead set on hunting down the sheriff of Nottingham. The concept further bolsters an Expendables-style feel by way of A Knight’s Tale and other medieval tropes therein for a bold production hopefully starting later this year.
After the brutal murder of his mother at the hand of the Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood vows revenge. However, this is not a fight he can win alone – first he must learn to fight with and trust others.
Advised and mentored by the reclusive mystic, Merlin, Robin gathers a team of outcasts, mavericks and fugitives, each of whom holds a grudge and an extreme skill to help bring down the tyrannical sheriff.
Working together they rally the dispirited villagers to prepare for an assault on the castle The Sheriff of Nottingham shelters in.
The Siege combines adventure, thrills and even a touch of romance in a non-stop action story that will excite and entertain in equal measure.
As such, you can learn tons more about the project, specific character descriptions ranging from origins and dialect to fighting style, and accordingly, possible perks from Allica in partnership with Shaun MacFadyen over at the film’s Indiegogo campaign page which has about a month left in its crowdfunding run. The IGG page also has a sizzle trailer; it’s pretty badly knit and narrated, but the vision itself looks keen on something good for fans.
Head on over and check it out!
