Salamat Mukhammed-Ali’s DIAMOND CARTEL To Release Early Next Year In English-Speaking Territories

Award-winning actor Peter O’Toole passed away in 2013, but that’s not stopping his film legacy from keeping him relevant. His final film to date, Salamat Mukhammed-Ali’s The Whole World At Our Feet is gearing up for a release early next year from Cleopatra Entertainment under the new title, Diamond Cartel, according to Deadline earlier this week. Not much is known about the plot of the Kazakh-produced Russo-English language film save for a vaguely descripted story of a series of criminal acts stemming from the impasse of a woman caught between three men who love her, including a criminal kingpin who takes her under his wing to appease his own lust for her, thus setting on an explosive and action-packed tale.

This is real, and there are several examples out there with titles as far back as 2010 with the release of Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables, and more and more of these films have been rolling out in some capacity ever since.

Stephen Maunder and David Mitchell share a lineage in, as well as a shared interest as so expressed in their latest contribution, Beyond The Game. There aren’t any plot details, but the cast itself is littered with a who’s-who of action veterans with actor and martial artist Olivier Gruner as a psychologically-cracked solider in […]

Lee B. Golden III

My first introduction to actor Tommy “Tiny” Lister was when I was much younger with the 1989 flick, No Holds Barred. I was a fan then, and the actor has stayed busy ever since then, working on a number of film and TV projects throughout his career, including even appearing opposite Jean-Claude Van Damme in Roland Emmerich’s 1992 thriller, Universal Soldier, and the first and second installments of the Friday Franchise opposite lead actor Ice Cube. Well, here and now in 2014, it seems big things are about to happen for Lister with his latest work on director Demetrius Navarro‘s new action thriller, American Justice. Following its premiere at The Crystal Theatre in Oklahoma back in April, and events at Cannes last month, the prospects for this new film already offer a bright outlook. And on that note, we now have a new press release ahead of another possible premiere […]
