Lee B. Golden III

After eleven years, Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim is making probably one of the biggest and most delightfully surprising revivals for its viewers with the return of the hit show, Samurai Jack. The show, created by Genndy Tartakovsky and featuing voice actor Phil LaMarr in the lead role, originally lasted four seasons following the story of Jack, samurai warrior spirited away into the future where a shapeshifting demon named Aku now rules all, setting Jack on a quest to find his way back to feudal Japan and stop Aku to save the future.

It’s refreshing! That said, cue the stunt reels and overall sickness of the amazing footage from Darcy Hinds, Anthony DiRocco, Niko Dalman, Aaron Jones Beck, sibling XMA purveyors Liana and Jentzen Ramirez, Tien Hoang, Eric Erickson, Jerry Quill, Cali Nelle and Alpha Stunts member and stuntman Yokoyama Kazuhiro! It’a trailer time and I’ve got two for your viewing pleasure! Following Kickstarter efforts earlier in the year, UK-based UCA student filmmaker Charlie Dennis and his team have begun the […]
