According to the resource Impact Online British screen fighter Darren Shahlavi (Darren Shahlavi) will play the role of the main villain in the director's action/thriller Ernie Barbara "Pound of Flesh".
Darren Shahlavi: I have dreamed of working with Jean-Claude Van Damme for many years and I am very glad that I will finally get to do it, and on such a great project as Pound of Flesh. I love the script and the team put together for this film by director Ernie Barbarash and the producers, including fight director John Salvitti, of whom I am a fan. I look forward to working together, we will do our best to make a great action film that will delight fans beyond words and will be of high quality in all respects.
I would like to thank Mike Leader for bringing me to the attention of Jean-Claude, Ernie and the rest of the producers, and for insisting on my candidacy.

But this is interesting. It would be great to listen to good experts who, at the same time, do not give up, preach something in their industry and have ongoing plans.
Oh you! He's still alive! However! I will never forget that very DEADLY GAME. The guys and I somehow considered the fights in this film. There were something like 26! This is a CINEMA. The ENTIRE movie is a complete fight!
I rewatched it recently. Sometimes it was funny, sometimes it was naive, but sometimes it was very watchable.
He even has a new project planned with BI. Mike Leader promised to soon post an interview where he talks about his old films and plans for the future.
...isn’t this the same guy who played LEOPARD PAWS and THE DEADLY GAME with Bolo Yeng Xi???
Is he.
The film set was visited by Wong Kin-lun (Bruce Le), the famous “clone” of Bruce Lee.
Pictured are Mike Leader, Wong Kin-lun, Darren Shahlavi and Mike Moeller.

As one guy from Jean's foreign fan forum said - "The gay brother of Hector (Scott Adkins) from The Expendables 2"
A good fighter and a colorful artist, but here he looks more like a parrot than a serious fighter from whom I would like to follow an example. The stylists apparently were very annoying.
How many times do I watch DOUBLE TEAM and am amazed at how good Vanya’s final outfit - in the form of a torn shirt, strange pants, a Siberian sheepskin coat and sports sneakers - LOOKS!

He is the one (here he is as a stunt coordinator). And Frank Shamrock was detected:

Who is in the center in the first photo? Is this Jean Frenet or what?
They are filming something in the Mojave Desert, but neither the plot nor the title has been published yet.

...it seems to me that Jackie has done a lot and can easily rest on his laurels in the 80s alone. But as for the hard action, let me still say - CRIME STORY and LIGHTNING STRIKE (even though Sammo did the fighting, but still) looked very cool!
As I watch the final fight against the bandits led by Ken Lo, sometimes you close your eyes at the brutality of what is happening.
But again, I agree with what was said above about the 00s. That's right. Over the past 14 years - the finale of NEW POLICE STORY and the fight on the sofas with some "glimpses" in the same finale in ZODIAC - the most worthy for such a long period. Basically it's like an action game.
It is sad.
It reminds me of a parable about calluses, I don’t remember it word for word and I couldn’t find it online, but the meaning is briefly this:
Two farmers lived in the neighborhood, and each had a good harvest year after year, but somehow one year one of them had no harvest, while the other had some left. He came to his neighbor and asked: “Tell me honestly, why don’t I have a harvest, but you do? What is the reason?” The neighbor showed his hands, and they were both covered with calluses. Then the farmer looked at his own and saw that he had no calluses; they had disappeared over the past year, because... During this time he didn't really do anything...
Judging by his latest films (starting like this... from the 00s)... he doesn’t really need good action =D
And Chan didn’t have a goal to stage any stunts or fights in his style in this film...how convincing should a fight in a cage be? When the emphasis is on emotions, experiences... and not “Wow, how he interrupted them” does Nisson look convincing as a hostage??? Just recently they showed part 2 on TV... it looks convincing that all the fights are simply cut into small, accelerated frames... I didn’t see a single bunch of blows in one frame or in one shot... everything was so flashy... it reminded me of Transporter 3. In Hostage, after all, the emphasis is on action... in NPI 2013 it’s completely different. If Jackie Chan needs action, he'll do it.

Oops, today Dacascos is 50 years old!
If you set the task correctly, if there is motivation, a good script and the right acting for the characters, even serious ones will be able to cope.
- I agree in some ways. But Eric's are interesting. And the same DEAD GRIP is very cruel. Salviti is an old school dude. This is very good, but its time has passed. How the time passed for Corey Yuen and Yen Woo Ping. Of all the choreographers, Jackie Chan manages to come up with something interesting. But again, with the fight in PI 2013 - weak in essence, but strong in emotional state. And the actors played along... they say, we won’t go anywhere, just finish the fight.
The cameraman, of course, killed everything and that’s a fact, but still... I think that Eric is still better than Tim Man, Brahim and probably Panna. Panna, by the way, is good, but he does not know the limits. Sometimes you get tired of watching it.
I agree with HOSTAGE. Well, Nisson is such an actor... saying that it’s better not to joke with him in this character. We still perceive Jackie as a comedy artist who will again deliver something... so to speak.
I don’t quite agree, because... Eric is good at staging fights with a comedic twist, but he doesn't do serious fights very well.
Moreover, I recently noticed using the example of Jackie Chan, who is so accustomed to comedic fights (already on a subconscious level), that attempts to film a more serious fight fail. The same Nisson in Taken looks much more convincing and cool than Chan in Police Story 2013. Although the second has millions of times more experience in on-screen fights.
I don't think I'm very happy. A lot of things went wrong for him, including his fault. That is why it is removed inertia.
IMHO, Dacascos's fate as an actor is one of the most unfair in this genre. Shahlavi, too, unfortunately, has long been bogged down in trifles. But he is a very charismatic and effective screen fighter.
- Played. Yes. The movie is great! Although sometimes there were doubles, it still looks good. At least I rewatched it the other day and my impression was not diminished!
I see no reason to be excited. Let's wait and see, as they say.
My personal opinion is that it is necessary to give way to young choreographers. For example, such as Eric Jacobas. Which can stage not just a fight, but a rather interesting SPECTACLE. And then any martial arts actor will perform in all his glory. It doesn't really matter who participates. It is important who leads the process.
In general, I don’t understand why Bradley Allan and Andy Chen rate so little. They have potential. For example, I liked TREASURES OF THE AMAZON or THE BALD NANNY because of the action. And also Kick-Ass was not bad at all. Why does Dacascas have his own vision of aesthetics, but as a rule he does not have a say in films. It's all strange...
Although, when you read, for example, the story of Buster Keaton, you understand what an idiot you have to be to change him exactly the opposite, giving him non-leading roles, and even prohibiting him from performing stunts. His signature handwriting. Why did the man stay in the hospital due to alcoholism with all the consequences...
Sometimes Hollywood really amazes me...and of course its inhabitants.
As for Jean himself, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter to him what he’s filming now or whether he’s filming at all. He is alive and happy. What else is needed for life?
As for filming, I would look for good operators who shoot videos. Especially about African American rappers. They have some really great stuff!!!
Let them make a fighting game. I'm sure they will succeed.
This is not the dude who played in Blood Moon with Gary Denilson. Cool movie from my childhood by the way.
He said in an interview that his last name is read as Shalavi. The emphasis is on A, "h" is not readable. So she's doubly cool.
Thank you, otherwise I thought he was Indian born in England.
Holy shit, cool name. Thanks for the info.
And on the topic: Shahlavi is good, China and Salvitti are cool, but an unmotivated Jean can ruin absolutely EVERYTHING good that was on paper before the start of filming. Therefore...I’ll wait for photos, and preferably trailers, before rejoicing =)
No. He is half Iranian, half British, born in England. The surname translates as “Lion King” (from the Persian word “Shah” - king, from Hebrew “lavi” - lion).
He is an Englishman of Iranian origin =)
Is Shahlavi Indian by nationality?
