An ancient hero returns with a vengeance! Looks like Ninja is more than ready to fight again, and we’re happy that we finally have something new about Isaac Florentine‘s upcoming Ninja 2! As you probably know, we’re talking about Florentine’s follow-up to 2009′s Ninja movie which starred Scott Adkins as an American martial artist named Casey Bowman who travels to New York City in order to protect an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Kōga ninja.
So, the most important thing at this moment is that Isaac Florentine will direct Ninja 2 from David N. White‘s script, and that British action actor Scott Adkins is back in the business as well as Mika Hijii who starred as Namiko Takeda.
Another great news is that Kane Kosugi aka the son of the legendary 80′s Ninja actor Sho Kosugi is officialy on board to play the movie villain, »

Isaac Florentine and Scott Adkins Reunite For Ninja 2
9 November 2012 7:00 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Director Isaac Florentine and British action actor Scott Adkins - the dynamic duo of American martial arts film - will once again collaborate on a project together. No, its not the eagerly-awaited Undisputed 4 that action fans have been asking for but rather, its another Nu Image/Millennium Films production, Ninja 2. In the first installment, Adkins starred as Casey Bowman, the American Ninja who must protect the ancient armor of the last Koga Ninja in New York from a high-tech rogue Ninja. Mika Hijii (Aliens vs. Ninja), the co-star playing Namiko will return in the sequel. The good news for cult fans of this genre is that Kane Kosugi (Blood Heat, War, Coweb, Choy Lee Fut), the son of the legendary 80's Ninja actor Sho »
Today's Best Sequel News: 'Ninja 2' Is Coming!
9 October 2012 1:45 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Grab your throwing stars and clean up your black pajamas, because Ninja 2 is headed your way! Moviehole reports that Nu Image has hired director Isaac Florentine and actor Scott Adkins to craft a sequel to the 2009 action vehicle Ninja. This is good news for cult action fans, as this is the same duo responsible for the first film. That outing evoked memories of Cannon Films’ American Ninja series. Adkins studies the deadly ninja arts in Japan, but is sent back to America to protect a chest containing the last weapons of the infamous Koga ninja clan. Naturally, lots of awesome ass-kicking ensues. We’ve got no plot details for where the sequel might be headed, but sometimes just knowing more sword-swinging action is headed our way is enough. Filming will commence on...

DVD Review: Sofia
7 September 2012 11:38 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Christian Slater, Elika Portnoy, Timothy Spall, Donald Sutherland | Written by Nancy L. Babine, Hans Feuersinger, Elika Portnoy | Directed by Isaac Florentine
I had high hopes for Sofia, I really did. After all the film, which is also know as Assassin’s Bullet in some territories, comes from director Isaac Florentine whose last four movies – Undisputed II, The Shepherd, Ninja and Undisputed III - were slices of B-movie genius, harkening back to the 90s heyday of Dtv action flicks. However Undisputed III was filmed over two years ago and it seems in the two years that have followed Florentine may have lost some of his action-movie mojo…
Set in Sofia, Bulgaria – which also (obviously) provides the name of this action thriller – the film tells the tale of Vicki Denev (Portnoy) and her alter egos: a killer, a schoolteacher and a seductress. Agent Robert Diggs (Slater) is an ex FBI »

Scott Adkins Talks ‘Expendables 2,’ The New ‘Universal Soldier,’ and Getting Punched in 3D By Ufc Champs
17 August 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Today, The Expendables 2 comes crashing into movie theaters across the country like a tank. With its Herculean roster of action legends, one name you might not yet recognize on the poster is that of Scott Adkins. We must stress, the “yet.” Adkins is currently fighting his way, literally, up the action cinema food chain. He appeared in such films as Ninja and The Bourne Ultimatum. He wowed many of us with his turn as vicious prisoner brawler Yuri Boyka in the Undisputed franchise. In Undisputed III: Redemption, he held his own with Mirageman himself, Marko Zaror. In addition to The Expendables 2, Adkins will again star alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren in Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, the “fourth” film in the franchise that was just announced as part of the second wave of this year’s Fantastic Fest. Not one to slow down, Adkins also stars in the action movie El Gringo, which »

Notebook Reviews: Isaac Florentine's "Assassin's Bullet"
3 August 2012 6:10 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
It's a pity that Assassin's Bullet, possibly the first Isaac Florentine film to receive a Stateside theatrical release, happens to be one of his weakest. A martial-artist-turned-filmmaker, Florentine (born Yitzhak Florentin) has carved out a niche in the direct-to-video world as an old-school action director with a knack for choreographing and composing fight scenes. Wide-angles lenses, longish shot durations (by contemporary standards, anyway), and a sense of follow-through are the hallmarks of Florentine's action-directing style—an appreciative aesthetic where every element serves the bodies and movements of the athlete-performers (Florentine's leads are more often than not Mma fighters, more than capable of doing their own stunts).
Originally titled Sofia (as in the city), Assassin's Bullet is a sub-De Palma riff on the Bulgarian capital's status as a popular B-movie shooting location. This identity disorder—Sofia is one of contemporary cinema's most filmed cities, yet rarely plays itself— is personified by »
Donald Sutherland Asks Christian Slater to Not Shoot Him in 'Assassin's Bullet' Clip
2 August 2012 1:30 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Most won't recognize director Isaac Florentine's name, but he's one of the better straight-to-video action directors around. He's been in the business for decades, but in recent years he's really started to shine with movies like Ninja and Undisputed sequels Last Man Standing and Redemption. If you haven't seen any of them, but you respect a good kick to the face, you should definitely check them out. Undisputed III: Redemption in particular could teach Hollywood a thing or two about how to choreograph a fight scene so it looks bone-crunchingly realistic. Florentine's latest is Assassin's Bullet and it's actually getting a limited theatrical release on August 3 ahead of its home video premiere on August 14. It looks to be a bit of a break from the...

Any movie that casts Dolph Lundgren and rising action hero Scott Adkins as rival cryptozoologists fighting over the discovery of a living, breathing killer Chinese dragon has my immediate attention.

10 underrated recommendations for Netflix UK
22 March 2012 3:02 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
The infamous movie-streaming video buffet-service Netflix hit UK shores recently, but sadly is very lacking compared to the goldmine of content available via the equivalent American service. Furthermore, Netflix UK is somewhat barren in regards to recent releases, with most films at least two years old.
However, there is a silver lining. The lack of modern content left me scouring its ageing database like an antique dealer rooting through a charity shop, and consequently I found a number of diamonds in the rough...
10. Primer (2004)
Perhaps the smartest time-travel movie ever made. Shot on a minuscule budget - though it never feels 'cheap' thanks to a sharp script - and possessing eerily sterile visuals and naturalistic performances, this was a true gem of a find. By the end of the movie you’ll know you’ve watched something special and will be eager for a rewatch, in an attempt to piece together Primer's well-crafted plot. »
