| Gareth Evans will return for ‘The Raid 3′ in 2018 or 2019 Posted: 21 Jan 2015 07:00 AM PST  "The Raid 2" International Theatrical Poster If 2009′s Merauntau hinted that director Gareth Evans was on to something special, then 2011′s The Raid proved our point. With 2014′s The Raid 2: Berandal, expectations were not only met, they were drastically surpassed. Fact is, in such a short amount of time, Evans is an ingenious filmmaker who is on one hell of a creative peak; funny thing is, something tells us the guy hasn’t even reached his peak yet. Using The Beatles as analogy: If Merauntau is “Meet the Beatles,” then The Raid is “Rubber Soul;” If The Raid 2 is “Revolver,” then perhaps The Raid 3 will be “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”? With Hollywood remaking The Raid, and Stallone trying to top its excessive, yet inventive string of violence, Evans has made his mark as one of the hottest action directors working in film today. And he does it with a limited budget, a foreign language and no big names or stars (which has obviously changed for Iko Uwais). In celebration of Evans’ cinematic victory, we decided to jump the gun on The Raid 3. You can count on us to keep this article updated with the latest news and developments. So far, here’s what we know about The Raid 3: “If The Raid 2 starts two hours after the first film, The Raid 3 will start three hours before The Raid 2 finishes. We'll go back in time a little, and then we'll branch off. So for me – without giving too much away – I want to try a different landscape. I want to try to shoot something that's very, very different from the first and the second one. So visually it'll look completely different, tone-wise it'll be very different. So there's a lot going on there, a lot of ideas going around in my head, it's just a case of putting them down on paper. We're in the process of developing it for maybe two years down the line,” says Evans. Source: Denofgeek.com “I don't have any plans to do The Raid 3 within the next two or three years so I'm going to take a break from that franchise for a bit… I want to do some some things outside of Indonesia for like two films, then come back to Indonesia and shoot The Raid 3. I have another one I want to shoot with him first. Still in the action genre and it's something that [Uwais] needs to train for for a fair amount of time. You have to make good with some weaponry, my friend,” says Evans. Source: Craveonline.com Evans is currently developing other projects, including gangster action film Blister. He is also planning on another martial arts film with Uwais, potentially shooting that and The Raid 3 back-to-back in Indonesia. Source: Screendaily.com Evans has brought up Scott Adkins on numerous occasions, so you can’t deny that Adkins has a chance of appearing in The Raid 3. Even Adkins himself has tweeted: "I'm officially stating it NOW!! @ghuwevans better me put in The Raid 3!! Here’s what Evans had to say about him: ”Scott Adkins I've had the pleasure of meeting on a few occasions. He's ridiculously talented with an all round skillset that combines fight techniques with athleticism and acrobatics. I'm looking for the right project, once I do I would love to work with him on something.” Source: cityonfire.com According to imdb.com, martial arts super star Tony Jaa (Ong Bak) may be joining the cast of The Raid 3. Although imdb’s information may or may not be accurate, it’s definitely a 50/50 scenario. Here’s what Evans had to say about Jaa: Tony Jaa is a phenomenal talent. Ong Bak was a major announcement to the industry and to audiences that the martial arts genre was back. Of course there's been a fair amount of mud thrown around regarding the situation between artist and production company but that's not for us to know nor is it in any way something that takes anything away from his all round talents. With the right script, the right role and please God no elephants.” Source: cityonfire.com We received a reply from Evans himself regarding Tony Jaa’s appearance in The Raid 3. Here’s what he had to say: “That’s just someone posting it up on imdb.com. I have a huge amount of respect for Tony, but I haven’t even put pen to paper on The Raid 3 yet, and it won’t happen for a couple of years.” Updates: Evans took to Twitter to give us an update (or lack thereof) for the 3rd chapter of The Raid series: “The Raid 3 isn't going to be happening anytime soon. Ideas in my head. Nothing written. No set date. 2018/19 possibly.” |
| Vengeance of an Assassin | Blu-ray & DVD (Well Go USA) Posted: 21 Jan 2015 06:00 AM PST  "Vengeance of an Assassin" Theatrical Poster RELEASE DATE: April 14, 2015 Well Go USA presents the Blu-ray & DVD for Vengeance of an Assassin from the late Panna Rittikrai, the director behind fan favorites like Born to Fight and BKO: Bangkok Knockout.
