DIRECT CONTACT (Danny Lerner, 2008)

[manudenis2005]

What's a poppin on this? Seems to be out of the spotlight because of CP and US-3. This could really rock too. Hopefully we'll get a trailer before the year ends.

Actually I'm interested more about this movie than the other two.

I really like the stills from Direct Contact, the huge explosions, lots of fight stills and some cool guns - I think it should be 90 minutes of PURE fun..in saying that I'm expecting CP to be of higher quality overall..since DC was edited in 3 months.

It's good to see Dolph making 2 movies a year and since Dolph as been directing his own movies they have turned out to be awesome movies.

I still think CP is going to be alot better than DC, i'm not familiar with many directors that dolph as worked with except Sheldon Lettich, Isaac Florentine and Russel Mulcahy.

Maybe Dolph should work with more familiar directors or even work once again with one of the directors that i have mention.

Dolph should deserve more respect from the studios and give dolph a bigger budget for his movies if Dolph Directs the movie.
Dolph as proven himself that he can direct good movies, why is that his movies are still only 5 million budget i wish i knew.

Thank You Jox!!!! You are a legend my friend, thank you for all the fantastic news and updates, you deserve a bloody medal mate!!! DC looks fucking kick asssss!! Respect!!

[preacher]

Damn. This looks cool. Jox: As mentioned above, you are the king!

[Nathan]

Yeah it does look cool, lots of explosions by the looks of it, it truly does look like an old-fashioned Nu Image production, the stills remind me of Bridge of Dragons and a little Direct Action thrown in there.

Thanks again guys.

I have a few more I'll probably post closer to the release...

As a fan, I'm just doing what I wish someone would do: when I was growing up in the late 80's/early 90's there was plenty of previews and coverage on Dolph in French magazines (especially"Cine-News" and "Impact", both dedicated to action). Then it became rarer and rarer to get any info at all (I didn't know about "Pentathlon" and "Men Of War" until almost 2 years after they'd been shot)...

So my efforts partly comes from this frustration, along with the dedication to engrave Dolph's part in the history of cinema (just like scholars can be specialists of Dickens, Picasso or Hitchcock).

As for Dolph, he hasn't always been surrounded (even recently) by people who really supported him and pushed his career. So now he needs people who he can trust (like his friends James Chalke and karate instructor/fight choreographer Barry Evans) and who don't only mean 'business' but also creativity... I'm kinda rambling sorry!

I bet he likes that list: Dickens, Picasso, Hitchcock, Lundgren.

Great pics!

Any news? This seems to have gotten lost with all the talk of CP and Unisol 3.

[Nathan]

Yeah was just thinking that myself. Surely there is some sort of release date now, come on Sony!!! It's been finished for almost six months, it's just sitting on your "TBR" shelf!!

[Jox]

Checked with Sony, no release date yet.

[Nathan]

That sucks...get off your ass Sony!! You think they'd be a little more eager after the success of Missionary Man. It's definately gonna be 2009 now, I'd probably say around Feb/March if we're lucky!! I also hope Dolph will take some time out and do a little bit of promotion for this one, because it looks good.
