Kellie Madison (The Tank) is directing and producing a teaser pitch for a TV series called The Gate, a supernatural saga chronicling the epic battle between good and evil starring Amy Johnston (Lady Bloodsport) and Yayan Ruhian (The Raid and The Raid 2). Madison has crafted a compelling tale of an angel that comes into her power to battle against the forces of darkness. Madison has an arsenal of credits that speak powerfully to her mastery of the craft, including Project Imagination’s The Caul and Open Road Films’ The Tank. “We have assembled a world-class team dedicated to the success of this series,” says Madison. Madison’s team includes Amy Johnston (Unlucky Stars), a professional martial artist who was a prominent stunt performer in Captain America: The Winter Soldier; George Billinger, Director of Photography/Camera Operator well known for his stunning work in War of the Worlds, Terminator and many other blockbusters; and last but not least, the amazing Indonesian martial artist, Yayan Ruhian (Beyond Skyline).

| Zoë Bell reunites with ‘Raze’ director for ‘Camino’ Posted: 01 Sep 2015 12:00 AM PDT  "Raze" Theatrical Poster XLrator Media (Close Range) announced the U.S. release of the action-thriller Camino starring Zoë Bell (The Hateful Eight, Death Proof) and Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes, Open Windows) in a rare acting role. Fully financed and produced by Bleiberg Entertainment, the film will be released in early 2016 on XLrator's “Turbo” action label. Camino is directed by Josh C. Waller, who previously collaborated with Bell on Raze, written by Daniel Noah (Max Rose), and produced by Waller, Noah, and Ehud Bleiberg (The Iceman). Nicholas Donnermeyer and Barry Gordon executive produce along with Bell and Vigalondo. Bleiberg Entertainment and Red Granite International subsidiary Blue Box International are handling international sales at the Toronto International Film Festival. Set in 1985, war photographer Avery Taggert (Zoë Bell) has built a solid career with her stark and honest imagery, all the while remaining emotionally distant from her subjects. When she embeds in the jungles of Colombia with a squad of missionaries led by a beloved and charismatic Spaniard known as “El Guero” (Nacho Vigalondo), she finds herself in the middle of a conflict as violent as any she’s photographed. One night, she happens upon El Guero committing a heinous atrocity, capturing the vile act on film, an image with the potential to discredit and destroy El Guero. Knowing this brilliant psychopath will employ every tactic at his disposal to destroy that photograph – and the photographer who took it – Avery flees into the harsh jungle with nothing but the camera hanging around her neck to escape from missionaries twisted into violent guerrillas by the madman intent on destroying all enemies. "It was important after Raze and McCanick and especially after the past few years of our work within SpectreVision for me to make a film that 'came from the gut.' Something that felt true to myself and to the artists we surround ourselves with. I think we did it. We've made our own little 'Electro-Jungle-Western.' Plus, to be able to piece together a film almost entirely with our friends, that's what it's all about. Thanks goodness the folks at XLrator Media share that vision as well," said director Josh C. Waller. "It was great working with Josh and Daniel again. The film is filled with tension and there are so many great sequences. I can't wait for people to see it," said producer Ehud Bleiberg. "Zoë Bell is a multitalented actress, martial artist and stuntwoman, having shown her incredible physical skills in Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Raze, Django Unchained and her upcoming roles in Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and our own film Paradox. Action fans will embrace her starring role in Camino where she gets to show her full range of talents," said XLrator Media CEO Barry Gordon.
