SKIN TRADE (Ekachai Uekrongtham, 2014)

[TEMIRLAN]

The video looks cinematic. Looks like it has very quality action in it. Especially the explosion.

[Tom]

Yeah it looks like a big screen movie for sure. At least the teaser didn't give away too much. Well nothing more than the set pics already have. Plus they didn't show too much of the Dolph and MJW fights with Jaa.

I can't wait.

[dolphage]

YES!!! Even with a lot of the footage being unprocessed it looks really promising.

This makes my day!

[shooby]

probably the first video on the web :

That would be funny if by shooting in Canada with MJW and (maybe) Celina Jade, Dolph would happen to make a cameo as a big bad guy in Arrow (the show is a hit, and globally well welcomed by critics and audience). He could easily do a very good Ras Al Gul with some dye hair.

I'm not gonna comment on the (oh my god looking great) footages as they're some final product.

Dolph would fit Arrow perfectly! In fact it's a shame he couldn't get to play Slade Wilson, the character suits him.

[Mosquito]

Interesting teaser. I really like the storytelling.

[Moltisanti]

They are. Their fight scene is likely a "When we first meet, we don't like each other or don't know whose side the other is on" sort of battle that you see in a lot in these kind of films. Like when Lundgren and Brandon Lee first encountered each other in SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO.

Would be cool if some like LIONSGATE picked the movie for the US theatre release.

[Jox]

Not necessarily, because a big distributor like Lionsgate can dismiss a small title like SKIN TRADE and not give it the treatment it deserves. I'm not sure the tiny release they gave ENEMIES CLOSER was for the best. It would only be good if they release it like a Jason Statham or a TAKEN.

Who released Ong-Bak and The Protector in the States? Because Madman Entertainment do really solid theatrical releases for Asian films in Australia.

[TEMIRLAN]

I believe it was Magnolia Pictures (or its daughter Magnet Releasing which released US4).

I don't know if it's ok to post this picture Jox, so please remove it if it's not okay (it's from some bts album on fb)

I love this pic ... Guerilla filmmaking is sometimes a great way of having nice angles.

I believe it was Magnolia Pictures (or its daughter Magnet Releasing which released US4).

It's funny you mention that... Since the production began on this film, I foresaw Magnet Releasing grabbing hold of this one as the US distributor. I could be wrong, but I have a fairly good feeling, especially when looking at the other films in their catalog / filmography...
