According to the resource Impact Online у Scott Adkins и Isaac Florentine a new project is planned called "Close Range". Production of a film for which the script was written Chad Law (Six bullets) and Shane Dex Taylor (Province of the night), will be engaged "Compound B", the company's genre subsidiary "Bleiberg Entertainment".
In the center of events is a man desperately trying to protect his family from reprisals from a drug cartel and corrupt government officials.
After rescuing his niece from the clutches of a powerful cartel, Colton Macready (Adkins) enters a merciless battle to save members of his own family who have now become targets for criminals. His farm, located in the provincial outback, is besieged by revenge-seeking cartel mercenaries, who have taken with them a corrupt local sheriff and a team of assistants who will ensure that help will not come to Macready in the near future. A non-stop and methodical assault on the farm begins, and Colton, in order to protect his loved ones and save himself, will have to go through this “marathon of survival” to the end.
Will you join Adkins с Florentine operator Ross Clarkson it is not known yet. The name of the fight choreographer also remains a mystery.

I agree...some crap is going on. About the cast: the same (if we take the main actors) in both films, the names of the characters are the same, the director is the same, the plot is the same, the slogan is the same.
Hard to believe. It’s enough just to compare the cast and plots.

This is...the truth =)
the fan group is already presenting this information as truth... http://vk.com/scottadkinsgroup#/scottadkinsgroup?w=wall-3914526_50677
they even write details about how long he spent filming and whether Scott will have a fight scene
guest123, There are enough sliced loaves for everyone.
It looks like Scott has already starred with Daniels))

IMDb, such IMDb...
I was there back in September 2013. https://fight-films.info/pervyj-otzyv-na-film-ninja-shadow-of-a-tear-ninja-2/
It's remarkable that no one has yet written a review of the second "Ninja"... :-(
Who needs this movie crap?!
I would wait for the features first - "The Stranger", "The Fallout", "Squishy" - and then judge.
ice_3, don't rage.
I respect you so much!!! I think so too. This character is not just a charlatan, he is fucking crazy!!! (I apologize for the swearing in a group I respect, but I simply couldn’t find another word.)
Amused. Thank you! BUT I am sure that this site deserves more than looking at it for my posts. I’m actually amazed that the admin didn’t send us all away and everything to hell! This is worthy of respect.
I have been following the development of topics on this site for a long time. I’ll be honest, the character under the nickname jaidev makes me incredibly happy. Just an epic critic of BI, Nikita Mikhalkov of all modern combat cinema, who films the rarest nauseating stuff on his mobile phone, and manages to disgrace Evans and Florentine and put himself on a par with Jackie Chan. It’s only for his hellish posts that I look at this site. You need to be more restrained in your comments, Mr. trashmaker. )))
hmm.... to agree to such a film, okay, but this is some kind of crap, to be honest...
Jaidev, I think the producers just said one word: “Long.”
And they cut it.
And the battles are really really cool, especially in the library.
- What about Scott? Nothing wrong with him. He is a good fighter, but nothing more. Isaac got what he needed out of him, but then he should essentially try to work with other directors. To increase your level of demand. But the problem is that there are no strong directors in fighting games right now.
Speaking of directors. Allow me to retreat. When smart actors create interesting action on set, for some reason it gets cut mercilessly!
Yesterday I came across editing versions of the fights for SHANGHAI KNIGHTS online.
And I was just confused before the question - What made the producers and director shorten the fight scenes.
Because I really liked them. Honestly, I didn’t expect that this could happen in Jackie Chan’s Hollywood films!!!
And the final scene of the fight between Jackie and Donnie, although not the coolest, does not look like the trimmings that were presented to everyone!
Very strange...!!!

Damn, another DTV. What's wrong with Scott?
another new project from Scott:
"I'll be working with Italian director Giorgio Serafini in his new project, an action movie with SCOTT ADKINS and Zoe Bell"
http://www.manlymovie.net/2014/02/exclusive-daniele-favilli-talks-swelter.html
Well, I don’t know, I don’t know. In Isaac's case, you just need money. Because John Hyams is not a damn artist either, but Unisol 4 somehow got to us, and collected another 50% from tomatoes. Why is Isaac worse?
But Tarantino is in a slightly different role; there is no place for movie actors there. But on the other hand, he promoted a bunch of actors who were unknown to anyone) Commentary text
Even if Florentine is given a billion, his IQ of Kubrick or Tarkovsky and Spielberg will never increase.
Yes and that's true. Probably not necessary, as stated below.
I also want to support the statement that John Woo is truly an artist, unlike Isaac!
- the producers noticed John because they needed to temporarily launch Asians into the market. That’s when Wu, Tsui Hark, and Jackie came out with their DISASSEMBLY. And then they took it and closed the shop. This is film politics.
WITHOUT A FACE is, in my opinion, the best WU film in Hollywood.
And as mentioned above, his Hong Kong works are 150 heads cooler. You can feel the author in them and these films are watchable.
It's not a matter of who was taken or not. It's really a matter of approach.
Let's imagine for a second that this same film was shot not by RZA, but by Tarantino. You immediately feel how many things would change. And even the most forgotten actor played better in the film than the Oscar-winning movie star. With an average film budget.
A person has a vision based on personal experience. And is it important.
Absolutely not global. In addition, it is much more interesting and entertaining than just sitting and criticizing. Do you agree?
The fact that you get information and thereby support this resource, chaining us all is great! But in essence we do nothing. Although we discuss this topic all the time.
Don't underestimate this network resource. He's powerful! And this is my strong opinion!
And I’m sure it’s not just mine.
The Iron Fist is just a cranberry. I don't know why Crowe is there...
Now, regarding the screenwriters, yes. This is exactly what I wanted to write. Florentine would be better off paying a normal screenwriter money, but he could do without Tim Man. And without any explosions at the pasta factory....
Well, look: the same Iron Fist - they took and assembled a good cast: Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu as cool actors, Kungle and Rick Yun (as movie fighter athletes). And with such a cast, it’s possible on a wide screen. And to attract, you need money. A screenwriter or a film adaptation of a book also needs a budget. It all comes down to money.
But with John Woo - it’s debatable. Well, yes, he has his own style, although...I don’t know. Isaac's technical tricks work very well, as well as the sound editing operator. He should be nominated for prestigious awards, but to get such a nomination, he needs to be on a wide screen.
In general, a lot of things are needed.
These films are not John Woo's calling cards. These are strong averages, but nothing more. And... you yourself answered that he made himself in Hong Kong action films. That was the meaning of my words. His "Assassin" or "Hard Boiled" are 150 heads higher than Hard Target and Mission Impossible... It's not a matter of budget. Initially, it's a matter of approach. Our screens are full of big-budget crap. And what?
At least with someone. At least with McTiernan, at least with Jacobas))), at least with Tarantino, at least with Rodriguez, at least with some young team))) with everyone in a row, just not in their own juice.
You say advertising, better actors? Who's cooler? Channing Tatum? Robert Patison? Johnny Depp?))
Ok, but with whom??? Apart from RZA and Gareth Evans, I can’t remember anyone.
And somehow it’s not clear, the second director...
Money is sooo important. Advertising, better actors, and more sweeping action. The same John Woo made his mark on Hong Kong action films, and hop producers took notice. And to Hollywood - and there he has more respectable actors, a bigger budget, and a smarter screenwriter. No Face and Hard Target - Without a Big Budget? It's not really easy.
Here Raid is also fights and fights, but look at the excitement.
Freestyler, we don't have A martial arts movies. And it won’t happen at this rate. And why make allowances for martial arts? The thing is, Florentine, for all his talents, never makes a good film, because that's not his goal. He only films fights. The truth in this, alas, is trampled in circles. But this is subjective.
Level attracts level? Well, only the level can be increased without a big budget. Experiment. Work out the plot. Try to mix genres.
If I were a producer with money, even a big fan of BI, I would not give Isaac money for this project with a besieged farm. You can object to me that if Isaac had a lot of money, he would not have undertaken such a project. But I doubt the budget will DRASTICALLY change his approach to filming.
I understand that this is an incorrect comparison, but still: John Woo's Hong Kong action films never had particularly large budgets. But in his films, the main thing is not only shootouts?
Florentine is not an artist. He is a strong director of fighting films, a good craftsman, a good technologist who understands fights, knows how to work with his cameramen and set plans. He and Clarkson need to work as second directors directing fights in movies BUT teaming up with someone else. In the current niche, with the current people, he has already said everything he could. All he does now is polish the same sculpture for a long time.
Level attracts level. Name me an A category director who knows how to make decent action films (adjusted for martial arts).
If they give Florentine the same amount of money as Hercules (the studios are the same), then there will be a reason to release the movie in wide release, and not on DTV. And this is where growth and development begin, both for Scott and for everyone else.
Um...what does the filming of Close Range have to do with the filming of Jah and Scott's film??? Ja is currently busy filming Dolph, then SPL 2, Scott will be busy filming Close Range. Those. both will be busy until late spring/early summer.
What we're talking about here is that Undisputed 4 is flying into oblivion. And to be more precise...it has already flown away.
I understand when DiCaprio and Scorsese "found each other." But Adkins and Florentine... They need to take a break. Big.
dreams of the Scott+Jah project are flying away into oblivion...
But you know, despite my criticism
I'm damn glad Adkins and Florentine found each other.
You can turn your nose up at the dullness of the plot and characters as much as you like.
BUT when it comes to Action, I just watch and enjoy it like a child.
Seriously. Give them a larger budget so that there are limited rentals, and not just dtv. And everything will be fine. Just more money that's all.
Jaidev, aren't the plans too global for a small news site? :)
“In a word, this project doesn’t appeal to me. Okay, they made a sequel to Ninja, watched it and forgot about it. But I think they shouldn’t work outside of Undisputed.”
- That’s what I liked about the film system in the Soviet Union, that everything was well directed where it was needed and controlled. But despite this there were individuals who did interesting things. The same Gaidai. And Westerns were copied by the same Samvel Gasparov - The Sixth, Forget the word death, Bread is gold revolver...
What do I mean - I just want to gather all the directors and give them a brainstorm. Why? Because when I take the side of the viewer, I start to get dumb watching the same films. They lower me below the sewer. So people say - But you need it more than anyone else and people like what they show. But I don’t like it. Every year the quality of films gets worse and worse. Actors, directors, cameramen, etc... who were masters are leaving.
Today a friend from St. Petersburg sent me a fresh short film from the famous Novosibirsk film team. And what...?
I have always respected these guys for their desire to work with a solid technical base. In essence, they are great, but in terms of actions, they are getting worse and worse with each film. Where are the cinematic angles? Where is the ingenuity in staging the action? where's the razor-sharp action editing? I'm not even talking about some basic acting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9oDM61SRHg
Some will say that I am some kind of snob and irritable type. Yes, this is not true. I’m a completely normal person, but sometimes this kind of attitude just kills me. If you love what you do, then why is everything done so obscenely?
Again, the same Florentine knows his business well and Scott is there to help him, but why is everything so terrible? Why?
In Bollywood, too, some kind of bacchanalia is happening. Old actors are dying out like mammoths, and in 13 years only 3 notable dudes have come to the cinema.
And all because... because everyone is silent and continues to eat the garbage they are fed. Why doesn’t Florentine organize a script competition under certain conditions? I'm sure people would respond.
And OUR SITE would help him with this. And not only him. It would be great to collaborate with all kinds of actors, producers and directors from all over the world, because the site has an excellent advertising resource. But instead we are all stupidly engaged in discussion here. Everything is the same - Wow, how cool! Or vice versa - Oh, how shitty everything is! Let's fix the situation. What's the matter? Problems? No problem - the main thing is desire!!!
And then the films will change at least a little, and along with it, their views on life and so on.
The site is amazing! So let's take action!
Some will say that this is not necessary. Not true!
I think that with a website you can create a powerful casting resource with participants from all over the world in the form of photos and videos. And also promote your video opinions, supported by powerful arguments.
I'm sure even Jackie Chan would be interested in this.
For my part, I will say that if he likes the work ideas, then I am ready to personally describe the situation with this resource to him and I am sure that he will cooperate. Considering the fact of the creation of film schools for stuntmen in their historical homeland.
But that's not even the point. The point is whether we are ready to actually do something in our beloved fighting game industry.
Dear Jaidev, for once I completely agree with you. Damn, why would they make another B movie again? Florintain automatically means Bulgaria as a location, that is, the same bell peppers will run ships there fighting with Scott, etc.
And your opinion about whether it’s really impossible to remove something from some book is also correct. Damn, these former specialists, cartels, Bulgarian actors from film to film. Is it really so difficult to write something interesting using some kind of book, or something? Florintain is a good stunt director, but the drama scenes in his films are boring.
In a word, this project does not appeal to me. Okay, they made a sequel to Ninja, watched it and forgot about it. But I think they shouldn’t work outside the Undisputed.
Jaidev, it’s impossible, there are no special forces and underground tournaments there)))
Yes, in short, everything is bad, and that’s already clear.

- And thank God that there will be no UNCONDITIONAL, INVULNERABLE, UNDEARABLE 4,5,6,7,8,228...!!!
I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to take an interesting adventure book off the shelf and remake it?
Are they fucking crazy? Where is the undeniable 4? or do they think that some of their next films will be better than the undeniable 4? that he will raise more money than Boyka?
(sorry for the swearing, but don’t delete it plz)
Yes, he will not rise above militants B.
So it remains Boykoy.
I was afraid to shorten the kilt. Otherwise Boyka will be peeking out from there.
Urgently for the casting of the new Highlander. =D
:) All that remains is to shorten the kilt and add war paint.
Something like this?
[img]http://savepic.net/4486326.jpg[/img]
I don’t understand something...what about the undeniable 4?
100% =)
It’s better not to anger the farmers, otherwise they turn into special forces in kilts at night. Especially those whose surname looks like a Scottish one...
Why did you decide?
If the main character rescued his niece from the clutches of the cartel, then he is probably a former special forces soldier. ;-)
But there will be no special forces. Hooray! :D
Will anyone say a word about the next step in the place of this “sweet couple”? Apparently God told them to be stuck in the B movie category forever.
By the way, today I rewatched the final battle from SPECIAL TASK. Well acted, filmed and put together! One feels strength, literacy and everything else. Let's add to this UNDISPUTEABLE 2 - from the same duet, and I will say that they will NEVER jump higher than these two film works!
What do I mean... Everything that could have happened has already happened. All of Scott's proverbial shots have already been played. New strategic ideas are needed.
This is where + Jackie comes in. The technique is still the same, but different situations still maintain interest in his films.
And here again... the cartel, mercenaries and all that...
How difficult it is for people with IQ. And why this happens... I don’t understand. Can someone explain why.
