The nostalgia factor runs deep in the star-studded Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleecing, an upcoming martial arts/comedy directed by and starring Alexander Wraith (No Tears for the Dead), which is currently in production.

Wraith is joined by a gang of martial arts film stars, both old and new, including Ernie Reyes Jr. (Red Sonja), Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja), Taimak (The Last Dragon), Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson (The Martial Arts Kid), Sean Stone (Savages) and Bianca Brigitte Van Damme (6 Bullets). Also in the mix are Bill Goldberg (Universal Soldier: The Return), Jena Sims (3 Headed Shark Attack) and Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister (Jackie Brown).

Here’s a photo from the set (via Taimak). Unfortunately, we know very little about the film, but given its spectacular cast (no matter how goofy they appear), we definitely have our eyes peeled!

In addition to Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleecing, Wraith is working on Kickbox (also with Bianca Brigitte Van Damme), and is also the subject of an upcoming martial arts documentary (to see what Wraith is capable of, check out his reel).

Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleecing has a release date set for 2016. Stay tuned!

A Rocky spinoff called Creed is currently in post-production. Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station) is playing the grandson of Apollo Creed (portrayed by Carl Weathers in the Rocky films). Sylvester Stallone will reprise his role as Rocky Balboa, who is now a retired fighter-turned-trainer. Ryan Coogler, the director of the critically-acclaimed Fruitvale Station, is helming Creed.

Creed will revolve around the grandson of Apollo Creed, who follows his grandfather’s footsteps when he learns he has the natural gift and potential that made his grandfather a heavyweight champion. The film opens on November 25, 2015.

Updates: According to an interview with Badtaste, Sylvester Stallone had this to say: “…No Rocky VII, I’m done with that series. However, I will take part in Creed, the Ryan Coogler film about the son of Apollo. We start shooting in February. But it really is a completely different film, it’s dramatic.” | First trailer for Creed.

THE MOVIE: A secret military project endangers Neo-Tokyo when it turns a biker gang member into a rampaging psionic psychopath that only two kids and a group of psionics can stop. A big screen adaptation of Katsuhiro Ohtomo’s popular anime Akira has been stuck in development hell for some time. Read the updates below for details.

Updates: Keanu Reeves, James Franco, Garrett Hedlund, Robert Pattinson, James McAvoy, Andrew Garfield, Chris Pine, Michael Fassbender, Justin Timerlake, Joaquin Phoenix, Keira Knightley, Kristen Stewart, Ezra Miller, Alden Eherenreich, D.J. Cotrona, Logan Marshal Green, Toby Kebbell, Richard Madden, Rami Malek, Michael Pitt, Paul Dano, Alden Ehrenreich and Ken Watanabe have all been considered for roles. Some have dropped out, others are still attached.

Variety reports that Warner will rework the script and then decide whether or not to continue. | Chris Nolan’s brother Jonathan is attached to a rewrite. | Leonardo DiCaprio (Growing Pains) is producing, along with Jennifer Davisson Killoran (Orphan) and Andrew Lazar (Jonah Hex). | Due to creative differences, Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli) left the project.

Director Jaume Collet-Serra is now attached to direct with hopes that it will be his next film after wrapping up Run All Night. Now that he has done Unknown and Non-Stop, he says: “the powers that be are interested.” | Marco J. Ramirez, the scribe who will be co-showrunning the second season of Netflix's Daredevil, will write Akira, the Warner Bros. long-in-the-works adaptation of the Japanese manga classic.

BREAKING NEWS: According to Collider (via DOG), Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) will be somewhat involved with Akira, which is reportedly now planned as a “trilogy”. This should come as no surprise, considering Nolan’s brother, Jonathan, was hired earlier on to re-write the script.
