It was last summer when “Gangs Of London” cohort Xavier Gens’ newest action adventure thriller, Farang, enjoyed its Fantasia Festival world premiere as Mayhem!. Having since been acquired by IFC Films and garnering a slew of enough buzz quotes to rival the levels of violence and spectacle being touted since its French rollout over the summer, we now have an official trailer which you can view below ahead of its theatrical and On-Demand U.S. release on January 5.
Just ahead of its upcoming premiere at Fantasia in Montreal, Xavier Gens’ Mayhem! is on deck to release in 2024 from IFC Films. The film stars Nassim Lyes along with Olivier Gourmet, Loryn Nounay, Vithaya Pansringarm and Sahajak Boonthanakit, from a script by Magali Rossitto, Guillaume Lemans and Gens.
I’m guilty of hyping a lot of things, especially in reactionary form. Also, I particularly enjoy being right about these things, and so when I see the first official trailer for Xavier Gens’ latest feature action thriller, Farang given my previous post, I can sit comfortably in the notion that my friend Monsieur Ambroisine was likely onto something.
If you’re curious any as to what Xavier Gens has been up to since Gangs Of London and Netflix series Mortel, of course there’s The Guns Of Christmas Past which is inbound with Liev Schreiber up to star. In the meantime, you have Farang, which imaginably slipped past the radar of anyone (and I mean yours truly) who isn’t regularly exposed to French media.
GANGS OF LONDON, the hit television series from Sky and AMC+, has been rightfully praised for setting a new high watermark for cinematic-style action and mayhem on the small screen. The bulk of that praise has gone to the series creator, writer/director Gareth Evans (THE RAID). This tale of the violent power struggle that occurs when one of the heads of the London underworld is mysteriously gunned down was not solely shepherded through production by Evans though. He shared directing duties equally on the series with two other men, one of those two was French filmmaker Xavier Gens (COLD SKIN).
The bell has officially rung as of Wednesday for Sky Original series, Gangs Of London. The series marks the latest foray for filmmaker Gareth Evans (Apostle) since his cult ascension among the action fandom proliferating then-burgeoning star Iko Uwais ten years ago.
Samuel Goldwyn Films is spanning the final stretch of their campaign to promote director Xavier Gens’ new thriller, Cold Skin. Actors David Oakes (The Living And The Dead) and Ray Stevenson (STARZ’ series Black Sails) lead the cast along with actress Aura Garrido (The Body) whose portrayal of a mysterious sea creature proves pivotal to the big scale upheaval as sampled in the clip above.
