Dolph the producer, being Dolph

Another behind the scenes shot. Here is Dolph off set in the monitor room watching one of the scene takes from Skin Trade . I really like this shot. Best TJ

Hope he looks like that when the movie is out and getting lots of love!

I'm very excited with this project for now. Tony looks so HongKong-ish with this Statham suits. Hope Tony's elephant doesn't have any comeo in it.

Is SONS OF ANARCHY still going on? If so maybe Perlman and Weller can talk Dolph into this or introduce him to the producers.

I'm having a really intense time researching for my role as Ying in my next project #skintrade #humantrafficking #sexslavery

I'm a person of faith. Can we give these people the luxury of FAITH? Please... #humantrafficking #faith @tonyjaaofficial @Dolph_Lundgren

And her twitter feed has lot of links on human trafficking. She's invested in it for sure.

I never watched SONS OF ANARCHY but I hear it's a good one. Dolph in that kind of big TV series would be awsome for sure.

My new SKIN TRADE slim look, complete with RPG explosion wounds!

Good to see proper blanks being used. A few of D's recent flicks they've done all the gone FX in post and it looks so cheap.

I was thinking : with the shooting ending (supposedly) in march, they might try to edit a small teaser for cannes and the film market (even if i think with all those names on board they won't have trouble selling it) and we might have a glimpse of the movie then.

Yes, I'm not sure it will be posted online/made public (promo reels are not always cut like trailers for the audience or as slick so not fit for everybody to see), depending on what the strategy and thinking is. They certainly will show some footage at the Cannes film market for distributors (maybe even a quick reel at the Berlin Film Market in February if they can put that together quickly). Even with that cast it's not as easy as it used to sell movies so footage never hurts (even when they already picked up the movie, they want a sneak peak at what they're getting).

Meanwhile Tony's FB unleashes more photos:

With Craig Baumgarten (co-producer, Dolph's manager, UNISOL and SHOOTER producer) and David Ismalone (action coordinator)

You will find that we did not use any added CGI/Special effects other than for safety purposes. On several very dangerous stunts such as a flying motorcycle and a man falling from a building we did use a wire for safety. The movie should have a very exciting and fresh realistic look. TJ

I'm looking forward to the first teaser.
