Help Crowdfund British Martial Arts Spy Comedy THE REAL TARGET, Now Aiming At Early 2017 Start Date

News back in February hinted at the production of a proof-of-concept for The Real Target, a British martial arts comedy about a kung fu couple whose missions unravel and unveil an even more nefarious plot by a hidden enemy. As it was then and still is, the core of the film’s team are some of the best people covered by any film or fansite and mainly if you’re familiar with the online work of directing duo George and Harry Kirby of K&K Productions.

Projects like Frieza Saga, Batman, or this little wicked zombie action short from a few years back come to mind, but like any independent film company that’s been simmering for long, it’s only natural that the Kirbys’ progression would lead them to bringing a movie like The Real Target to full feature film fruition. This, after a year and a half of development and in the company of genuine local martial arts, stunt and acting talent, film is finally in pre-production with the goal of launching in 2017.

Apart from the official announcement just below, you can learn more at the film’s official Indiegogo page where funds are now being raised to help get production off the ground by Spring with the usual awesome perks doled out in kind. Check out the deets below and head over to the campaign site to hear out select members of the cast and crew, including actress and co-writer/producer Yolanda Lynes, actor, action director and co-writer/producer David Cheung, the Kirbys’, and one of the internet’s boldest-speaking martial arts instructors today, UK Wing Chun pedagogue Master Wong who serves as the film’s fight choreographer.
