EXILED: THE CHOSEN ONES: Tubi Amends Published Version With Full Color-Corrected Feature
Better late than never, I guess. Folks who are subscribed to Tubi and wondering if any updates were made to director Ranjeet Marwa’s Exiled: The Chosen Ones following the streamer’s recent release of an uncolored version can now take a gander at it in a more color-corrected and finished format. I previously screened the film for a second time upon its Tubi release and in my review, I disclosed that the version the platform published looked like an unfinished film rushed to its release. Marwa took to the film’s Instagram account in a post the other day, citing a partial quote from my review while informing fans that his team “has worked around the clock to ensure that the version delivered to Tubi is much better.” Indeed it does. As for my review, barring this latest update, I still stand by my artistic and technical critiques. By all means, however, […]

BLIND WOLF Reteams The Minds Behind ‘Kill Fist’ And Upcoming ‘Exiled’ For Singapore Assassin Thriller Production In November
Consider this a heads-up if you’re eagerly awaiting the latest on Singaporean actor Sunny Pang. With Gareth Evans’ Havoc on deck from Netflix, the actor is now suiting up as a blind government assassin in Ranjeet Marwa’s Blind Wolf which rolls cameras this November in Singapore. The two previously worked on Marwa’s dystopian survival thriller, Exiled: The Chosen Ones, which is still par for a Southeast Asian release this year. Formerly known as Blind Rage, the film also marks a reunion for Pang and Malaysian filmmaker James Lee whose script will drive the story; Lee has worked with Pang on multiple occasions, namely 2012 action comedy, The Collector, and 2019 martial arts thriller, Kill-Fist. The update also comes a few years after we broke the news a few Decembers ago, describing the overall vision and tone as a cross between The Equalizer, Marvel’s Daredevil and the 1980 jidaigeki classic, Shogun Assassin.

I’ve been off-and-on in touch with filmmaker Ranjeet S. Marwa as post-production stayed onward for his new movie, Exiled: The Chosen Ones, and I’ve learned just a few tidbits about the project and even gotten to take a look at some of the action. What I can divulge is that there can be well over a dozen action sequences from respective starring actor/choreographer and action director, Sunny Pang (The Night Comes For Us, Headshot) and co-star Nick Khan, and also, based on what I’m told, folks watching the film will be in for some cool surprises.

EXILED: THE CHOSEN ONES Director Teases ‘Apex Predator’, Announces Sequel Title [EXCLUSIVE]
Director Ranjeet S. Marwa’s newest thriller, Exiled: The Chosen Ones, remains in post-production with the team going over pages of notes of what to include and so forth. All hints at a release are tentatively looking toward Spring or the Summer depending on how things fluctuate, while Marwa continues to build his repertoire a bit for the 2021 seasons. He’s currently developing a new romantic drama which he’ll announce soon, and he’s also prepping a few more projects to round out the year, namely with Sunny Pang hitman thriller, Blind Rage. In the midst of all this though, it hasn’t hindered him, or his team any, from procuring any notions about a sequel to the aforementioned survival thriller, which wrapped additional photography in recent weeks. “The buzz around Exiled has been great so far.” says Marwa, who almost three weeks ago from this report, Marwa announced on The Movie Dojo […]

Filmmaker Ranjeet S.

The announcement was made among several other details during a Verbal Nectar Podcast interview late Tuesday evening on The Movie Dojo YouTube channel hosted by Preston Downey, a.k.a. Phat Samurai Guy. Up first, of course, is Exiled: The Chosen Ones, which is Marwa’s latest work in his eleven-year history as he looks to ante-up his profile in genre cinema for broader audiences. The film takes place in a future dystopia where a man-made virus fails to clamp down on the world’s population, a preamble which then sees imprisoned Yakuza hitman Hiro (Pang), forced to compete in a death game with other prisoners while the rich place their bets. Marwa took to the podcast to allude to a possible […]
EXILED: THE CHOSEN ONES Official Trailer Takes Aim At The Brutal, Bloody Badlands
The past year has shown an almost daunting change of the tide for filmmaker Ranjeet S. Marwa, thanks in large part to the pandemic last year and its drastic affects the world around. Plans to direct Blood Rush as his inaugural ball for action movie audiences took a strong pivot to instead releasing a mini-doc on the pandemic’s affect on Asian cinema productions, as well as the development of multiple other film projects in order to ante up his profile some. One project that’s been simmering since last Fall is Exiled: The Chosen Ones, shot conveniently in a contained and Covid-safe environment to avoid scruitiny over safety concerns on the Birmingham, U.K. set. The sweetener here, of course, alludes to the casting of Sunny Pang and Hannah Al-Rashid, two of Southeast Asia’s foremost talents hailing from shared credits such as Mike Wiluan’s Buffalo Boys, and Timo Tjahjanto’s The Night Comes […]

EXILED: THE CHOSEN ONES Spotlights Sunny Pang And Hannah Al-Rashid In The New Survival Thriller [EXCLUSIVE]
It would be an understatement to call 2020 a challenging year, what with politics, catastrophic disasters, and a global pandemic all being major factors in how the rest of us who’ve managed to stay alive through all have remained so. To each end, you might even suggest these as suitable a backdrop for a creative offshoot. Filmmaker Ranjeet Marwa’s inspiration kept steadfast during 2020, with efforts to crowdfund one film prior to announcing several others, and ultimately leading the charge with his latest production, Exiled: The Chosen Ones. The film signals Marwa’s premiere stake in martial arts action cinema with Southeast Asian allure, hailing direct from the UK as the first of its kind, with Marwa taking inspiration from the likes of Gareth Evans, and Indonesia’s own Timo Tjahjanto. “What we have in store for the audience is very unique in terms of both actors and location.

EXILED: THE CHOSEN ONES Is A Brutal Exhibition Of Violence And Gore In The First Teaser Trailer
Welp, less than a year in after trying to crowdfund one project, filmmaker Ranjeet S. Marwa least expected he’d be ramping up three more instead. Assuredly, the Covid-19 pandemic became pivotal in how things eventually fluctuated among other factors, and thus, he we are with Marwa’s latest priority, Exiled: The Chosen Ones, which wrapped principal photography last month. After a man-made virus failed to reduce the world’s overpopulated areas, global leaders would start a new program that would legitimize a new venture in a game show. The game would be broadcast live, where random contestants would be exiled into a concrete jungle, forced to kill each other for their freedom. Viewers would place their bets on who had a chance at survival. Be that as it may…no one survives the game. Make no mistake here in noticing actor Sunny Pang’s name having recurred all year in news updates with Marwa’s […]

RUSH HOUR: A Word With ‘Blood Rush’ Writer/Director Ranjeet S. Marwa
Filmmaker Ranjeet S. Marwa is betting it all on his latest Indiegogo campaign these days to help make one of his biggest dreams come true with the new action thriller, Blood Rush.
