This November, Well Go USA is bringing home Ifa Isfansyah’s The Golden Cane Warrior, an Indonesian Wu Xia epic, featuring martial arts choreography by Hong Kong's Hung Yan Yan (Shaolin, Coweb, Time & Tide).

The film stars some of Indonesia’s most popular talents, including Christine Hakim, Nicholas Saputra, Reza Rahadian, Slamet Rahardjo, Prisia Nasution, Eva Celia and Tara Basro.

Official Plot: The Golden Cane: a relic of incomparable force, coveted by all. And with it, the training of a technique so unrivaled, it vanquishes all who dare oppose its power.

As Master Cempaka and her four disciples – orphans of her enemies, now heirs to the Cane – prepare for the new warrior guardian to ascend, an act of villainous betrayal threatens to destroy the clan and destabilize the realm. Their only hope to restore order lies in finding the elusive White Dragon, the only remaining pupil still equipped to unlock the mysteries of the Golden Cane.

The Golden Cane Warrior doesn’t hit shelves until November 3, 2015, but it’s currently available for pre-order on DVD (as of yet, there is no word on a Blu-ray release). If you haven’t already, check out the film’s trailer!

Yuen Woo-Ping’s ‘Vigilantes’ to be released in 2016?

Acclaimed martial arts choreographer and filmmaker Yuen Woo-ping (True Legend) will tackle a three-part Chinese and Canadian co-production called Vigilantes. The first film in the series is titled Vigilantes: The Lost Order. It has been billed ‘The Matrix meets Wall Street.’ Now give your brain a moment to recover from imagining that crossover.

Vigilantes: The Lost Order follows a young female assassin who sets out to hunt down the villains that destroyed her family and along the way uncovers a global financial conspiracy ruling the world.

Interestingly enough, the Vigilantes movies will be shot in the English language. Yuen Woo-ping is, of course, no stranger to working on English-language productions but he has never actually directed a North American film himself.

While it might be a bit hasty to plan Vigilantes as a trilogy before the first film has even proven a hit, that’s production companies for you. The crucial role of Vigilantes’ leading lady has yet to be cast.

Updates: We’re not sure what’s going on with Vigilantes, which was first announced back in 2012. Birch Tree and TFC both state that the movie is “In Development,” with a U.S. release date set for 2016. Considering Yuen Woo-Ping has wrapped up Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2, and has his hands full with Eight & a Half, a 2016 release for Vigilantes sounds feasible. We’ll see…

‘Expendables 4′ to begin production in November?

Despite Expendables 3′s box office belly flop last year – due to the film’s online leakage, according to Lionsgate – Sylvester Stallone remains optimistic about the future of his popular action series. In fact, he’s already laying out plans for the 4th installment.

Here’s what Stallone told CCTV: “As we go on, we will continue to add more stars, more personalities, more athletes, more individuals around the world, not just Americans… hopefully, we’ll be able to film in Asia very soon.”

Stallone also mentions the possible addition of Jackie Chan, who has been linked to the franchise since the original Expendables: “We’ve always wanted to use Jackie Chan. The only reason we didn’t is because there really wasn’t a part big enough for him, because we had so many actors. But in the next one, we are going to reduce the actors, and let’s just say, expand the screen time of each star.”

In addition to Chan, other names – such as Dwayne Johnson, Hulk Hogan, Christopher Lambert, Jean Reno, Pierce Brosnan and Steven Seagal – have been considered for the franchise (see our updates regarding Expendables casting here).

Updates: Thanks to EP.com, we have a video where Stallone talks about the possibility of an Expendables 4. When asked if he’s going to do another one, he replies: “I don’t know. We got so ripped off. If I do another one it’s going to be a lot bloodier though…hardcore R.”

When asked if future installments of the franchise will be Rated R, this is what Stallone had to say: "Absolutely unequivocally yes. I believe it was a horrible miscalculation on everyone's part in trying to reach a wider audience, but in doing such, diminish the violence that the audience expects. I'm quite certain it won't happen again." Stallone also hints that one of the main characters may actually be killed in a future installment. - Thanks to Crave.

According to Youth Health (via EP.com), Manny Pacquiao may have a role in The Expendables 4: “During Pacquiao’s match against Chris Algieri, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger went to Manny Pacquiao’s locker room to wish him good luck. But someone from Manny Pacquiao’s camp affirmed that something more came up, Stallone and Schwarzenegger recruited the Filipino boxer to join the cast of The Expendables 4! The Filipino champ allegedly accepted the offer and the two legends left the room with smiles on their faces.” Of course, nothing is official until it’s on paper, but only time will tell.

In an interview with Graham Walker Stallone revealed that he wants Jack Nicholson to play a villain in Expendables 4: “Is it gonna happen? Most likely not. Is it possible? Slightly.” He also mentions Clint Eastwood, but says the possibility of his involvement would be a “long shot.”

No news on Expendables 4, but Deadline reports that Expendables is getting the TV series treatment. Whereas the movie version united big screen action stars, the Expendables TV series will unite small screen action stars. Avi Lerner and Sylvester Stallone will serve as producer and executive producer, respectively. No cast members have been announced, but we'll keep you updated as we hear more.

In an interview with USAT, Schwarzenegger, who starred in all 3 Expendables films, had this to say: "I just think it's a terrific franchise. I told Sly to write another one or have someone else write another one. A really terrific story. Because I think it's a great idea to have an ensemble piece with that many action heroes in a movie. Especially if the comedy is really done well. It could be a great story. There's definitely room for another one."

From EP.com: Sylvester Stallone made an appearance at the L.A premiere of Terminator Genisys. When being interviewed by the Chinese media, he revealed that both he, Jackie Chan, and most likely, Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be filming a movie in China soon. No further details were given. There's a strong possibility the project he's talking about is The Expendables 4. After all, months ago, we reported (scroll up to the 2nd paragraph of this post) that the next Expendables flick would be filmed in Asia.

BREAKING NEWS: According to EP.com, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger will be arriving in Colombia in the first weeks of November to film scenes for Expendables 4.
