The Warrior pilot, which has the potential to become a successful TV series, is just the first sign of Justin Lin's collaboration with the Chinese media mogul Bruno Wu в launching several projects for Chinese cable company Perfect Storm Entertainment.

Martial artist, actor and director John Salvitti is preparing his own project called "Ambush" (Ambush).

Visitors to our site should remember John Salvitti from such films as "On Execution 4: Witness" (1989) "Tiger Cage 2" (1990) "Hungt for the Crystal" (1991) "Fire Cheetah" (1992) "Hardest Strike 2" (1996) and others, where John, as a rule, played small roles as henchmen of the main villains.

In terms of genre, Salvitti's film should be an action movie with elements of hand-to-hand combat. This is how the creator himself speaks about his future creation to the site Impact:

The film will be in the spirit "Lone Wolf and His Child" и "John Wick" simultaneously. I have already received a script that is high-energy, intense and gritty, suitable to satisfy not only martial arts movie fans, but also fans of great stunt work. All this calls me to make a full-blooded action film!

The director's chair for "Ambush" will be taken by Salvitti himself. It is still unknown who will play in this action movie.

Considering Salviti’s serious track record and his close connections with such notable people in the industry as Donnie Yen и Yuen Wu Ping, the film “Ambush” will certainly be monitored by us as closely as possible.
