Gareth Evans, the ever humble and hard working writer and director of the second installment of his growing martial arts crime saga, The Raid 2: Berandal, took to Twitter this week to announce the final stages of post production on his new film, bidding a heartfelt thanks to the post production crew who have worked tirelessly to get the film done in time for its three-night premiere at the Sundance Film Festival beginning on January 21. Earlier on, Evans reflected a little bit more on the earlier conception of the new film then-titled “Berandal” which originally meant to be something entirely different in following up his previous success with Merantau, which would further catapult its lead actor, Iko Uwais to martial arts cinema stardom. “4yrs ago..” he tweeted “…we made a naïve proof of concept teaser, now w/ 3hrs of VFX, 3 days of mixing & 2 days of DCP to go # will be done.” He also added, “I’ll save the rest of my sentimental tweetage til the 19th. Suffice to say, it’s been an experience…”.
You’ve no idea how fucking hard these guys worked to get the VFX for the film complete. Huge shout out, thanks guys! http://t.co/t5XJftdyCo
