It’s ‘Die Hard’ in North Korea with producer Bey Logan’s new action film ‘The Borderland’ Posted: 30 Jun 2014 12:05 AM PDT "The Borderland" Teaser Poster Bey Logan has long been one of the most vocal Western supporters of Hong Kong cinema, routinely serving up informative commentary tracks on some of your favorite Dragon Dynasty releases. His recent forays into producing movies haven’t met with quite as much success – his 2005 effort Dragon Heat was rather dour despite the presence of both Sammo Hung and Aliens’ Michael Biehn in the cast – but it looks like Logan is learning from his mistakes. His latest effort is called The Borderland and it’s about an elite agent who becomes trapped in a secret military bunker in North Korea. Think of it as ‘Die Hard in North Korea,’ if you will. The Borderland arrives from French director Mathieu Weschler and stars 5 time world karate champion Seydina Balde (Danny The Dog, stunt performer in Casino Royale) in the lead role. If you’re still not convinced, check out the 1st trailer, which caught our attention with its stylish look and plenty of brutal hand-to-hand combat reminiscent of The Raid or Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Now that The Raid and The Raid 2 proven you can make a kick-ass action movie on a minuscule budget as long as you have a dedicated and talented stunt team, it’s starting to look like other genre filmmakers around the globe are stepping up their game. BREAKING NEWS: Watch the 2nd theatrical trailer. According to Film Combat Syndicate, the film has a U.K. release date set for August 18. Lionsgate should be announcing a release date soon. We’ll keep you posted!
