Independent cinema, of course, does not remain on the sidelines. Director R.L. Scott (“Call Me King”) is preparing to release an independent superhero film called "Lazarus" (Lazarus).

There is no exact synopsis for the future action film, but the film will tell the story of an African-American fighter against evil with unique superpowers that he received from the Devil himself. "Lazarus" is positioned as an "ultra-violent superhero film." Let's see if Scott's film will be able to surpass the Deadpool duology in this regard.

The next independent film was made in the UK by a director Dean Meadows, who was previously supposed to direct a crowdfunding project Cynthia Rothrock called Bitchfight. As we know, the required amount for the film was never raised, but Meadows did not stray from the theme of strong female characters and made an action movie "Scarlett Cross: Agent S.M.E.R.T.I." (Scarlett Cross: Agents Of DEATH).

According to the creators, the film consists of several parts, arranged in the form of an anthology. Each part will tell the story of one of four female killers, each of whom is in one way or another connected with the mysterious Scarlett Cross, a girl who was in a terrible car accident and lost her memory.

Writer and director Ben Ramsey, who gave us the cult action movie "Blood and bone" (2009) starring Michael Jai White was ill for a long time and could not make a movie. However, Ramsey recently presented his new project at the Cannes Film Market. It was a web series in the cyberpunk genre called Interface. At Cannes, Ramsey showed a short film that should become the pilot for a future series.

Back in 2014, a screenwriter and stuntman became interested in the project Arnold Chon, which, however, could not find sponsors. But Chon sold his own apartment to replenish the budget of the series. But this was not enough, after which Chon and Ramsey sold their cars. Only after this the filming process started working in full force. The project received new financial injections when he joined the production team Daniel Zirilli (“Time does not wait,” “Asian Connection”).

The web series takes place in the distant future, where the main gaming console will be the human brain. People connect to the server through neural networks and play various games. But something terrible happened - mysterious hackers learned to hack the brain and kill game users. A brave detective will have to go into the virtual world to find the intruders.

The ensemble cast of the series consists of: Chris Jai Alex (TV series "Special Forces"), Tony Cavalero ("Dirt"), Michelle Lee ("Check Point"), Kinyumba Mutakabbir ("Under cover"), Pamelyn Chi ("Skyline 2"), Mary Christina Brown (“Iron Fist”) and others.

Alas, the creators do not name any dates for the online release. Let's hope that at least the pilot episode will appear in 2019.
