Short films: Blindsided, John Wick Origins: Kirill and Darth Maul: Apprentice

It seems that the movie fighter is well known to visitors to our site Eric Jacobas, got a little stuck with endless videos, where he “animated” characters from famous computer fighting games. I gave it up and... starred in a new short film.

Jacobus's new short film is called Blindsided, which can be translated as “"Sneaky". It is about a blind man who, by chance, witnesses extortion by a local criminal element in his favorite store.

In addition to Jacobas himself, the guys from the team starred in the short film The Stunt People: Nicholas Verdi ("Close quarters"), Khalid Haji (“Stone Fists”) and Brett Shearin (TV series "Old School"). The guest star this time was an action movie veteran Roger Yuan (Lethal Weapon 4, Batman Begins, Stealing Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny).

In the director's chair of the released March 1, 2017 Blindsided is located Clayton J. Barber, who previously produced Jacobas' two other short films Rope-A-Dope и Rope-A-Dope 2.

We invite you to watch the film. Russian subtitles are included.

The following short film concerns the hit franchise "John Wick", where it's the second film in a row Keanu Reeves and the guys from the stunt team 87eleven provide the viewer with a real ballet of bullets that he himself could be proud of John Woo.

Film "John Wick 2" has already collected almost $100 million at the global box office, and it would be stupid not to “catch on” to the success of the project. That's what the stuntman and director thought Paul Drechsler-Martell ("Fight Ring", "Dogs of Chinatown"), who directed a short film called "John Wick Origins: Kirill" (John Wick Origins: Kirill). The film was released at the end of February 2017.

The main role in the film was played by an action actor and stuntman Matt Healy (TV series “A Memorable Journey”), in addition to which they appeared in the film David Lavallee Jr. ("Deadly Force") and Brinton McFarland ("Hungger").

We offer for viewing a very worthy example of fan cinema.

Well, the last short film is also based on the famous franchise. True, manufactured in 2016. Moreover, the German film "Darth Maul: Apprentice" (Darth Maul: Apprentice) took first place among short films within the framework of summing up the results of action films for 2016. We couldn't ignore this film and decided to post it on the site.

The film's synopsis is straightforward: with his preparation almost complete, Darth Maul must face six Jedi to reach his true potential and become the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Well, an interesting plot and well-choreographed lightsaber fights should please you.

Starring: Ben Shamma (“Special squad “Cobra”), Mathis Landwehr ("Call"), Svenja Jung ("The Center of My World") Eskindir Tesfaye (“Kung Fu Yoga”) and others.

Directed the film and also wrote the script for it Shawn Boo, who previously directed various short films, and also edited the film by Mike Moeller "Street Fighter" (2012)

What is definitely good is that “Darth Maul: The Apprentice” has been translated into Russian. And if anyone hasn’t seen it, we highly recommend watching the film. Especially for those who like the sci-fi universe "Star Wars".

    Jacobus is good, but this topic with the blind man in this form has already exhausted itself. And in general there is a feeling of unfinished work.

    According to Wick, I liked the short film, the style of the fight was well maintained, some moments would have been worthy of a full film

    Ay, well done Jacobus!!! BRAVO! A simple theme but, as always, he handled it brilliantly.
    Of all the recent MASTERS, BULLETS IN THE HEADS, TIGERS, HEELS - that I watched.... this short film did all this work.
    I watched with sparkling eyes and genuine pleasure.
    We can talk a lot, but I’ll just say - ERIC, go with your team to the BIG MOVIE!!! These are the people who represent the present and future of cinema!

    I highly recommend watching!!! Especially the unfortunate creators of MAJOR THUNDER, who want to show off in front of the public with their “bare bottoms”.
