For most martial artists, you'll recognize the name. She is the daughter of martial arts legend Dan Inosanto and the "honorary niece" of one of the world's biggest icons, Bruce Lee. But ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/788 It's about time. Check out this cool little ditty: a trailer for an CG-animation zombie movie. It's called A.D. and is directed by Ben Hibon, written by Haylar Garcia, and produced by Bernie Goldmann (300), Tarik Heitmann (The Sensei), and Renee Tab. Looks pretty cool. I like the idea of taking ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/780 Check out this live stunt-fighting demonstration that I helped facilitate at Black Belt Magazine's website. It was held at the recent International Mixed Martial Arts Expo in Los Angeles and features stunt coordinator John Kreng and his stunt crew explaining the differences between a realistic MMA-style self-defense situation versus an MMA-styled ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/774 Just caught the trailer for the Jackie Chan remake of The Karate Kid (AKA The Kung Fu Kid). After watching this clip though, maybe it should be called The Wushu Kid? What do you think? After writing down my initial thoughts and now seeing some footage, I'm not sure what to ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/767 My article about the recent Hollywood Stuntwomen's Awards is featured in the February 2010 issue of Black Belt magazine and on the publication's website.

I'm most pleased that he's maintained his own directing style. Rather than adopt the most annoying trend of vomit-inducing handheld camerawork and seizure-sparking rapid-fire editing, Cameron sticks with what made him the most successful action-movie ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/750 Check out the January 2010 issue of Black Belt magazine for my interview with Reuben Langdon, one of the most sought-after stuntmen and fight choreographers in movies, TV, and video games. Reuben has worked with everyone from Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung to Sam Raimi and Hayden Christensen. He most recently ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/743 Did you know that they're remaking The Karate Kid? With Will Smith's son as the titular character. And Jackie Chan in the Miyagi role. And it's going to be called The Kung Fu Kid. Ugh. I gotta be honest, I groaned the first time I heard they were remaking The Karate ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/735 There's something coming down the pipeline that, if I keep my fingers crossed and my mouth shut, might result in me acting in a zombie movie. I love horror movies and the zombie subgenre is one of my favorite. It would be a dream come true if I could play one ... http://screenwarrior.com/archives/730 Hope everyone’s Thanksgiving Day holiday provided a nice break -- well, in the United States, at least.
