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.

Get Ready For WARHORSE ONE From The Director Of ‘Daylight’s End’ And ‘The Brave’
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 […]
VIGILANTE: William Kaufman’s Latest Spawns New Concept Art
One key ingredient when pitching projects at any film market usually includes some kind of concept art. Bleiberg Entertainment is in Berlin with their own package which also consists of William Kaufman’s latest, Vigilante, which wrangled through a ton of unease earlier this month when fan sites spilled the beans. Scott Adkins (Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning, Undisputed film series) is set to star in the flick rejoining Kaufman long since 2016’s Jarhead: The Siege, and Daylight’s End screenwriter Chad Law. With Vigilante making the rounds at this year’s EFM, there’s no question with the sales art’s blaring similarities to the pre-sales art for Jesse Johnson’s hit 2019 thriller, Avengement. Welp…enter Kaufmann who is brandishing new mock up art on social media showcasing Adkins, edited into heavy tactical gear per the story; Described as Taxi Driver meets Punisher, Adkins will play a disgraced soldier who wages war against the city’s […]
VIGILANTE: Action Pic In-Development From ‘Jarhead 3’ Director, Scott Adkins In Talks To Star
Avengement star Scott Adkins is reportedly circling a chance to reteam with director William Kaufman for action thriller, Vigilante, according to news broken at City On Fire on Friday. The film also reunites Kaufman with screenwriter Chad Law who penned the director’s 2015 dystopian zombie thriller, Daylight’s End, as well as Adkins’s Isaac Florentine actioner, Close Range. Law is co-penning the script with Josh Ridgeway, and with Andrea de Liberato (Among The Shadows) producing. Vigilante centers on a disgraced soldier who wages war against the city’s most dangerous criminals, only to end up endangering the lives of the very same people he initially set out to help protect. Kaufman and Adkins last paired up for 2016 threequel, Jarhead 3: The Siege. A seperately-gestating reboot of Kaufman’s stellar 2010 crime pic, Sinners And Saints, which the two circled with actor Johnny Strong back in 2017, still waits in the wings. Vigilante […]
THE BRAVE Review: Louis Mandylor Stars In William Kaufman’s Riveting, Redemptive And Tangible Crime Epic
A fresh jab at Hollywood character types can be heard amidst the exchanges at the outset of William Kaufman’s new crime thriller, The Brave. For what it’s worth, the banter lends a palpable sampling of just what viewers are in for, amplified by strong performances, compelling interwoven drama, and action that thrills and excites from start to finish. You have to give credence to the possible notion that The Brave is certainly more than a genric cop movie, taking to heart its location, and its history with respect to the concurrent story. An Eastern European nation still recovering from tragedy and civil war after more than two decades, Kaufman’s movie also coheses with a narrative also inspired by a real-life drug raid in the village of Lazarat in 2014. Following a dodgy undercover operation, a team of cops form a special unit led by Rei Cana (Louis Mandylor), and commanded […]
AUREA MEDIOCRITAS: A Word With SINNERS AND SAINTS: VENGEANCE Writer Chad Law
Chad Law and Farah White on the set of DAYLIGHT’S END I still actually have a ways to go in catching up with certain titles that fell off the radar for me in the last several years. William Kaufman’s small scale 2010 film Sinners And Saints is one of them, especially after managing to snag a few viewings of his 2005 killer thriller, The Prodigy, which absolutely impressed me. Assuredly, I’m not the last one to gush about Kaufman’s work. Leave it to screenwriter Chad Law who knows a lot better and more having gotten in as many as four projects with the director while they now prepare for their fifth pairing, Sinners And Saints: Vengeance, which goes before cameras very soon with Johnny Strong and Scott Adkins first to front the casting. It’s early in the process for the film but the goal is reportedly to furbish it as […]
SINNERS AND SAINTS: VENGEANCE Pairs Johnny Strong And Scott Adkins For A Franchise Reboot
Anchor Bay Entertainment/XLrator Media With the upcoming rollout or Jesse Johnson’s The Pay Up, Accident Man and Triple Threat in his wake, leave it to action star Scott Adkins to help carry the mantle with word on the upcoming action thriller revisal, Sinners & Saints: Vengeance. Adkins will reunite once more with Chad Law-penned Jarhead 3: The Siege helmer William Kaufman who, in turn, reunites with actor Johnny Strong who led the initial 2011 revenge cop thriller. The film aims as a stand-alone sequel which tells of a New Orleans detective who journeys to Moscow to avenge the murder of his partner at the hands of a syndicate enforcer with the help of an old war buddy, and the enforcer’s lover. Law, whose writing credits also include Kaufman’s zombie hit thriller, Daylight’s End and Isaac Florentine’s Adkins-led home invasion action pic, Close Range, is scripting with Saints And Sinners scribe […]
DAYLIGHT'S END Awakens The Zombie Apocalypse With A New Trailer
It’s been quite a journey for director William Kaufman’s latest heralded cult hit, Daylight’s End. Carried by the support of amply positive reviews following the film’s well-earned festival acclaim, Vertical Entertainment has since announced its North American distribution in select theaters on August 26 in association with Dallas-based virtual reality studio Groove Jones for a more immersive viewing experience. Obviousy, that would be something to look forward to and it’s a perfect horror movie feat to present to fans as we approach the Fall season. That will be about a week from now though and so at best we can present ourselves with a brand new trailer that makes it all official. Actor Johnny Strong leads the cast from a script by Chad Law, and with Lance Henriksen, Louis Mandylor, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Chris Kerson, Chelsea Edmundson, and Krzysztof Soszynski also starring. Daylight’s End, a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller, is set years […]
Action Horror DAYLIGHT'S END Gets U.S. And U.K. Release Dates
Right now, any cursory glance over at the official Facebook fan page for the stellar new independent survival action horror, Daylight’s End, will hint you quite a bit about how well this movie has fared in the past year. Written by Chad Law (6 Bullets, Close Range) and directed by William Kaufman (The Prodigy, Jarhead: The Siege), the film has already become a hit at festivals in Texas and Oregon with more screenings pending, but folks in the U.S. won’t be too far off with an August 26 release in select U.S. theaters and on VoD, followed by an October 10 release for theatergoers in the U.K.. Director William Kaufman transforms Dallas, Texas into a post-apocalyptic wasteland in the action-packed survival horror DAYLIGHT’S END. It stars Johnny Strong, Lance Henriksen, and Louis Mandylor in a hard-driving action-horror-thriller about a rogue drifter who agrees to put aside his mission of vengeance to help […]
Scott Adkins To Awaken From His Grave In Revenge Flick, THE RETURNER
As of today, this summer’s release of director William Kaufman’s direct-to-DVD war thriller, Jarhead: The Siege, will precede what looks like another impending partnership between Kaufman and action star Scott Adkins. As Deadline reports, The Returner will feature Adkins in the role of John Piper, a Prohibition-era speakeasy owner murdered along with his family for defying Al Capone, only to be mysteriously brought back from life with nine lives to spare and a chance to avenge himself and his family. Nope, not a remake of Yamakazi Takashi’s 2002 sci-fi buddy epic of the same name if that’s what you thought, but still offers a punch packworthy for action fans with Adkins headlining. Producing are Courtney Lauren Penn and Brandon Burrows of Boundless Pictures via their Firebrand label, along with Close Range co-writer Chad Law who also scripted the film. Forthcoming for Adkins are his appearances this month in Ariel Vromen’s […]
