Director William Kaufman (The Brave, Jarhead 3) had been low key releasing mini-teasers via Instagram at one point for one of his most recently-completed productions, Warhorse One, while segueing over to principal photography for military actioner, The Channel, which landed international sales at EFM earlier this year through Grandave, and Jason Patric starrer, Shrapnel with Premiere Entertainment handling worldwide sales. Indeed, it’s been a busy year and as we make our way into another market season at Cannes, Kaufman’s reunion with actor Johnny Strong (Sinners And Saints, Daylight’s End) who co-directs and also co-wrote the pic with Kaufman, now lends us our first full trailer introducing a hearty sample of what’s to come. The trailer also introduces young actress Athena Durner who plays a girl caught in the crossfire at the tail-end of the war in Afghanistan. While conducting a rescue mission to evacuate a group of missionaries out of […]

Get Ready For WARHORSE ONE From The Director Of ‘Daylight’s End’ And ‘The Brave’

Lee B. Golden III

Director William Kaufman‘s got a bit of an itch that needs scratching. Whatever the case is though, he’s definitely taking his time with it as he continues to tease followers and action fans with bits from his latest, Warhorse One. The film reunites Kaufman with actor Johnny Strong who toplines two of Kaufman’s previous action thriller hits, Sinners And Saints and zombie actioner, Daylight’s End. Kaufman’s knack for shoot ’em ups proved to be an absolute thrill with his most recent cop thriller release, The Brave, and so I’m especially looking to see how this checks out in that regard. And so there we have it. No plot details or casting or production specifics yet and time will tell when he’ll post a trailer to provide some long-awaited relief. Still though, this looks like a thing we should care about at some point. Check out the embedded Instagram teasers below […]
