Thanks to Film Combat Syndicate, we have the scoop on Revenge of the Pomegranate Tree Hill, an upcoming chanbara movie directed by Setsuro Wakamatsu, who is perhaps best known for his 2009 Die Hard-type action film, Whiteout.

Based on a novel by Jiro Asada (Failan), the plot is as follows: Shimura Kingo (Kiichi Nakai) is a samurai retainer whose lord Ii Naosuke is assassinated. Instead of allowing himself to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) after the loss of his lord, Kingo pends the next 13 years tracking down his lord's killers.

Revenge of the Pomegranate also stars Hiroshi Abe, Ryoko Hirosue, Nakamura Kichiemon, Masahiro Takashima and Sei Matobu. Watch the film’s latest trailer.

Revenge of the Pomegranate will be released domestically on September 20, 2014.

THE MOVIE: In Keith Parmer’s (Mob Rules) action-thriller Swelter, Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a member of a bank robbing gang that manages to steal a cool $100 million before some of them are apprehended by the police. Flash forward ten years and Van Damme is now an earnest, hard-working sheriff in a small town… with no memory of his criminal past. But what happens when his old crew rolls into town, anxious to find out where he hid their payload? Swelter also stars Josh Henderson, Brad Carter, Alfred Molina and Lennie James.

Updates: Expendables Premiere once again has some official stills. In addition, they have an interview with the film’s writer/director Keith Parmer. Parmer suggests that one of his next projects could be a ‘Taken by way of Hitchcock’ movie with Van Damme, titled Remember Paris.

Scope out the new official poster for Swelter, which seems to confirm that Jean-Claude will plays a supporting role rather than a major one in the film. | Cew behind-the-scenes featurette. Thanks to Expendables Premiere for the heads up. | Well Go USA has acquired North American film rights for Swelter.

BREAKING NEWS: Watch the newly released French trailer for Swelter (beware of possible spoilers). And don’t forget, Amazon.com has an August 12, 2014 pre-order for the Blu-ray or DVD.
