Does anyone have time to follow the projects of the most famous face from modern combat cinema? Scott Adkins? We try, but every now and then information appears about some upcoming film.
The British actor has several films planned for 2020: "On hook" Isaac Florentine, "Collectors 2" Jesse Johnson "Legacy of Lies" Eda Bola, "The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud" Martin Owen... Yes and "Ip Man 4", in which Adkins confronts Donnie Yen The majority of viewers will see it this year, despite the fact that the film was formally released in 2019.
However, Scott seems to be picking up more and more projects. Recently, news appeared on foreign websites dedicated to action films that Adkins will again work with the action star of the 80s and 90s Dolph Lundgren. Together this duo has already appeared in films "The Expendables 2" (2012) "Universal Soldier 4" (2012) and "Legends: Tomb of the Dragon" (2013)
The future film is called Castle Falls, and Dolph is assigned not only one of the main roles, but also the director’s chair. There are no other details about the project yet, but foreign sources emphasize that none of the actors have yet announced official confirmation of work on the action film. As usual, we will keep our finger on the pulse.
Indonesian screenwriter, producer and director Raniet S. Marwa (“And rose up”, “Lost”) decided to reassemble the team from "Raids" for a new project. Before Iko Uwaisa и Joe Taslima Raniet didn't make it, but that doesn't change the fact that the film called "Blood Tide" (Blood Rush) is something we're extremely interested in.
The main role in the hand-to-hand action movie is given to Zaku Lee (“Raid 2”, “Raid: Bullet in the Head”, “Cowboys”, “The Night Follows Us”), and he is accompanied by Sunny Pan (“Raid: Bullet in the Head”, “The Night is Coming for Us”), Nick Khan ("Madness") and Yayan Ruhian (The Raid duology, John Wick 3).
Plot details "Blood Tide" not yet, but the creators describe the concept as “a symphony of chaotic violence” and compare their future project to films such as "Judge Dredd", "Night is coming for us" и "John Wick 3".
There's only one catch - Raniet S. Marwa и Nick Khan, who wrote the script and is going to stage the fight choreography, applied for crowdfunding and, apparently, they are not doing well with crowd funding. By the way, you can support creators of the film in rubles With successful financial assistance, Marwa will begin filming the film in Jakarta, but for now "Blood Tide", seeing the cast, all you can do is keep your fists and cross your fingers.
Legend of Chinese combat cinema Sammo Hung, who just recently turned 68 years old, returns with a new directorial project called "Order of the Dawn" (The Medal of the Dawn).
The genre of the film is planned to be a military-patriotic action film, like a duology "War of the Wolves" Jackie Woo or "Operations in the Red Sea" Dante Lama. "Order" should be of interest not so much to fans of hand-to-hand combat in movies, but to fans of large-scale military operations. In general, Grandpa Hong conceived a real military blockbuster.
The creators did not reveal details of the plot, but they voiced the ensemble cast.
The actress will play the main role in the action movie Janice Man ("Cold War 2", "The Edge"). The rest of the caste includes: Ashton Chen ("Ip Man 2", "Monster Hungter"), Nick Chun (“From Vegas to Macau 2-3”, “Silent Witnesses”) and Oho Ooh (“Wukong”, “Chinese pilot”).
In his new film himself Sammo Hung doesn't plan to play. Let us remind you that the last time Hong filmed was in 2015 - then he not only directed, but also acted in the action drama "The Old Bodyguard".
Premiere "Order of the Dawn" should take place in 2021.
Another, no less iconic action movie actor and close friend of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan - Yuen Biao (“Dragons Forever”, Meal on Wheels”) after a six-year break took part in a hand-to-hand action movie.
It's about the movie "Return of Heroes" (Heroes Return) directed by Hu Guo, which was previously noted only as a fantasy series "Love and Fates" (2019)
Alas, there is also no information about the plot of this film, but it is known for certain that the action film has been filmed and is in the post-production stage.
But there is information about other actors who took part in the action film: Ray Liu ("Bombing", "Dynasty Warriors"), Ken Thon ("Police Story", "Chasing Dragons"), Ng Man Tat ("God of Players", "Shaolin Football"), Katie Chow (“To hell with it!”) and Raquel Xu ("Chasing Dragons").
Judging by the list of actors who are also like the 62-year-old Yuen Biao are veterans, we are waiting for another craft in the genre of “pensioners are back in business.” To date, the last film in which Biao took a significant part is the mystical action film "Teacher vs Vampires" (2014)
It's a pity that there is no official release date for the film. But there are several shots from "Return of Heroes".

I don't understand something! What is the correct name of the film by Florentine? It seems that the name “Capture” has been approved. In the article he is called "On the Hook". Where is the truth?.
Sergey Payusov,
In Kinopoisk it is listed as “Capture”, yes.
