The Punisher: 7 Essential Stories You Must Read
18 May 2013 4:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Punisher is one of those strange characters – his logo is instantly recognisable and he has a lot of name value and yet despite this he doesn’t have the popularity of a Batman or a Spider-Man. This could be partly down to three poorly received films – 1989′s The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren, 2004′s Garth Ennis influenced version starring Thomas Jane and the ultraviolent (albeit straight to DVD) Punisher: War Zone with Ray Stevenson perfectly cast as Frank Castle – or maybe because his ultraviolent and uncompromising nature makes it near on impossible for him to be mass marketed. But with his iconic black and white skull-shirt and gruff Dirty Harry demeanor, the story of Frank Castle – a former Marine who engages in a one-man war on crime after his family is viciously gunned down in front of him – is one that strikes a chord with people due to its simplicity and grounded emotions, »

Sylvester Stallone confirms Mickey Rourke and Jackie Chan for The Expendables 3
18 May 2013 1:38 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
We've heard plenty of rumours over the past few months about possible casting additions for The Expendables 3, and now that Sylvester Stallone has found a director in Australian filmmaker Patrick Hughes (Red Hill), it seems it's full steam ahead on casting for the third instalment in the 'geri-action' franchise.
Taking to Twitter, Stallone has announced that Mickey Rourke will reprise the role of Tool for the threequel, having sat out last year's The Expendables 2, as well as confirming the addition of martial arts icon Jackie Chan. So far, the only other actor to be confirmed for The Expendables 3 is Wesley Snipes, but the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li are all expected to return for a third outing.
At this point in time, it's unclear when The Expendables 3 will go into production, although a 2014 release date looks likely... especially »

Here's the thing... you can put Dolph Lundgren in just about anything and we'll watch it. The prospect of a "Dolph of the Dead" flick is almost too much stimuli for us to handle, but handle we shall, if only in the name of science!
With Cannes in full swing, Anchor Bay Films has acquired U.S., Australia, and New Zealand rights to the latest undead flick on the block, Battle of the Damned from Bleiberg Entertainment’s Compound B. Dolph Lundgren stars with David Field, Matt Doran, and newcomer Melanie Zanetti. Christopher Hatton directed from his own script and also produced with Ehud Bleiberg and Leon Tong.
Says Anchor Bay, “There truly is no other film like this on the market; it’s got zombies and robots and spectacle. The visual effects are fantastic, and this is one of the best roles Dolph has ever had.”

Sylvester Stallone Says Expendables 3 Can Top The Raid
16 May 2013 3:50 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Sylvester Stallone took to his Twitter account recently and offered a bunch of updates on The Expendables 3. He confirms some casting and reveals where they are looking for inspiration. I think you're going to like what he has to say.
Here are the tweets he sent out:
Scouting eastern Europe and Asia ...we are going all out on this one ... Could be a big surprise!!
What's the plan? Ask Jackie Chan....
Thinking about Raiding, The Raid....think about it...
We believe we can do better than the Raid, which was an excellent film... Raising the bar...
Mighty Mickey is back............
Talked to Wesley today ... He can not Wait to fight to the top again !!!!!!! Over...
So he's confirmed Jackie Chan, Mickey Rourke, and Wesley Snipes will be in the movie. The most interesting part of this to me though is that he thinks they can do a better action film than The Raid. »

Smith to Star in Reboot of Penckinpah's Ultra-Violent Classic Western?
14 May 2013 7:28 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Will Smith: The Wild Bunch remake (photo: Will Smith in After Earth) Will Smith has been mentioned in connection with Focus, the caper tale that was to have starred Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart, and is to star in Edward Zwick’s Hurricane Katrina drama The American Can. But that’s not all. His producing company is working on a remake of the Broadway musical Annie — which got a less-than-satisfactory screen version back in 1982 — and apparently he wants to revive The Wild Bunch as well. Set during the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s, Sam Peckinpah’s ultra-violent 1969 classic Western features William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Edmond O’Brien, and other movie veterans as a group of outlaws fleeing from Robert Ryan while out to do one last job in war-torn northern Mexico. The Will Smith The Wild Bunch reboot, however, is to be set in the present, though the perilous »

Iron Man 3: 3 Reasons The Mandarin We Got Was The One We Deserved
14 May 2013 1:57 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
I remember sitting in my bedroom in Inglewood, CA in my teens reading yet another awesome issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. The early ’90s: some would say that this was the apex of the golden years for Marvel’s marquee character. Howard Mackie and Tom DeFalco (who must have been under mind control or something) were waiting in the wings to ruin everything, but I digress. This article is about comic book movies.
Back in those days there was already talk about Marvel taking the movie business seriously, up until that point they relied on studio’s like Troma Films (Toxic Avenger) to handle their films, which as you might imagine produced less than stellar results (Dolph Lundgren as Punisher, Reb Brown as Captain America and the immediately and mercifully killed original Fantastic Four film starring who cares honestly).
Their cross town rivals had the luxury of being owned by Warner Bros. »

It was almost a year ago when we first heard that Dolph Lundgren and his Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning co-star Scott Adkins were heading to China for a new 3D creature feature that would see them hunting a ferocious dragon.

Adkins, Lundgren And Some Really Bad VFX Star In Legendary: Tomb Of The Dragon
6 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Dolph Lundgren wants to kill a dragon. Scott Adkins wants to save it. Some Chinese people are most likely going to be eaten. This is the basic premise of Legendary: Tomb Of The Dragon, an upcoming Chinese / UK co-production starring the action vet (Lundgren) and the up and comer seemingly forever in search of the decent break he deserves (Adkins) with both of them playing second fiddle to some pretty horrid visual effects.You want a taste for yourself?

Antonio Banderas Could Join The Expendables 3
3 May 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Sylvester Stallone loves Twitter. Via this most infectious of mediums he’s teased and taunted fans of The Expendables 3 with rumours, speculation and hearsay. He’s the biggest fanboy of the bunch when it comes to spouting off. You can’t deny though, that the hulking grunter of an actor has a playfulness to his Tweets. Just now he posted the following Tweetulation:
Antonio B. …?Could be.
— Sylvester Stallone (@TheSlyStallone) May 3, 2013
Banderas’ career in Hollywood kickstarted with as the Mariachi-playing badass in 1995′s Desperado. Since then he’s alternated his resume with proper grown up films (Haywire, The Skin I Live In) and awful kiddy drivel (Shrek, Puss In Boots.) He definitely qualifies as a badass suitable to join the line up, although thinking about it…wouldn’t it had been lovely if he’d kicked some more arse instead of becoming one in Shrek? Well, here’s hoping »

John Hyams: Direct to Video Auteur
28 April 2013 7:58 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Direct to video films have long been a ghetto where low rent productions and long forgotten c-list stars were forced to reside. Recently however a shift in momentum has begun to occur and something strange is happening, some of these films are actually quite good. Now don’t confuse direct to video films with the video on demand platform that is quickly becoming the go to distribution model for indie films. Direct to video productions do not have star-studded casts (at least in a ‘mainstream’ sense) nor do they much fanfare surrounding them. What they do have is freedom.
Director John Hyams quickly understood the freedom and malleability that direct to video presents and has gone about creating some incredibly interesting genre fare. Hyams first two feature length films, Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Dragon Eyes, displayed an acute understanding of the action genre. Both films showcased his talent for utilizing space, »

Sylvester Stallone announces Patrick Hughes as The Expendables 3 director
24 April 2013 7:37 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Sylvester Stallone has announced that he's found a director to take over the reigns from Simon West on the third instalment in the aging action icon franchise The Expendables, and no - it's not Mel Gibson. Instead, Stallone has revealed via Twitter that he's turned to up-and-coming Australian filmmaker Patrick Hughes - director of the rather fantastic Aussie Western Red Hill - and while The Hollywood Reporter is suggesting that producers Millennium are yet to sign off on Hughes, a deal is expected to be confirmed.
The Expendables 3 is expected to reunite much of the cast from the previous two movies, including the likes of Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham and Jet Li. Jackie Chan and Wesley Snipes have both been reported as joining in the action for the third movie, while producer Avi Lerner has said his wish-list includes Nicolas Cage and the rather »
