One of the more notable highlights to make note of going into 2020, director Kiel McNaughton’s upbeat Pasifika/Maori action drama, The Legend Of Baron To’a has already left a striking impression with its teaser in October.
The official trailer is now online and bodes with even more heavy-hitting action, comedy and pure promise. Tongan actor Uli Latukefu currently has credits in Netflix series, Marco Polo, as well as Alien: Covenant, and a co-starring role as a Bombardier in Kriv Stenders’ latest dramatic war thriller, Danger Close, which I enjoyed.

The Legend Of Baron To’a is dated for February 20, and also stars Nathaniel Lees, Jay Laga’aia, John Tui, Shavaughn Ruakere and Fasitua Amosa, along with Duane Evans Jr. and Lotima Pome’e (a.k.a. General Fiyah). Catch the brand new trailer above and poster below!
