THE DAYS FOR THE DEFENDER SHOOTING ENDED TODAY !
I JUST GET SOME VIDEOS FROM THIS MOVIE ON VHS. I NEED TO MAKE THEM IN DIGITAL. NEXT WEEK BE READY.

THIS MOVIE IT'S LOOKING OUTSTANDING.

I HAVE A SMALL INTERVIEW WITH DOLPH ALSO MADE FOR THE MEDIA PRO TELEVISION PRO TV:
- Dolph is very proud about this movie
- Dolph says: "a really cool movie, you'll enjoy it"
- Dolph says also : "the cast from UK and Romania was excellent"
- Dolph says: " i hope this will be a success"
- A stuntman says about Dolph "a high professional"
- And a young romanian actor says that he's dead tired after so many hours on shooting

I CAN SAY ALSO THAT IT LOOKS VERY "R RATING" (A VERY VIOLENT SCENE WITH AN EXECUTION PLATOON)

DOLPH VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THIS MOVIE.

TODAY WILL BE A HUGE PARTY IN A CLUB FOR THIS MOVIE.

THUESDAY DOLPH WILL LEAVE ROMANIA!

DOLPH WORKS DAYS AND NIGHTS ON THIS MOVIE. LOOKED TIRED !

THE PLOT :
Some arabian terrorists plan an atentate against the President of USA (G. Springer). Dolph leads the commando team to stop this attack.The action is placed in Romania and US or maybe i didn't understand correct the shooting hass been made in Romania and US.

FROM THE VIDEOS I'VE GOT I FEEL RED SCORPION MEETS MAN OF WAR !

HE HAVE ALMOST THE SAME EQUIPMENT LIKE IN THE LAST WARRIOR

ROMANIAN MAKEUP ARTIST RULES (THEY WORKED ON COULD MOUNTAIN TOO) FAR FAR PROFESSIONAL THAN ON DOLPH LATEST MOVIES

PS: THIS MOVIE WILL BE RELEASED IN ROMANIAN THEATERS

don't like the plot too much either, because it has too much to do with US politics (by the way when Dolph was first proposed the script of "Cover Up", he refused it because the terrorists were Arabian so he superfised the rewriting)... But thanks for sharing with us the infos!

Yeah i agree with you, but let's hope that this movie will be good.
I tell you that you ncan't imagine how tired Dolph's looks like after 4 weeks of work.

I'll transfer my tape into digital in a studio from PROTV because i have few other videos with me at television with my GloabalArnold.com actions.
Hope that this week i'll have everything on digital.

Can someone help me to add english subtitles to my videos? I want to subtitle them in english and the subtitles to be on the video...not a different subtitle file like for divx.
The format will be wmv or mov.

Dolph Lundgren, regizor debutant prin Bucuresti

Ada Dumitrescu
Marti, 09 Martie 2004

Filmarile pentru lungmetrajul “The Defender”, regizat de Dolph Lundgren si turnat in Studiourile Media Pro, s-au incheiat recent la Buftea. Dolph Lundgren detine in film rolul principal alaturi de cunoscutul realizator de talkshow-uri Jerry Springer si de actorii Thomas Lockyer si Shakara Ledard. Din cauza ca programul de filmare nu i-a lasat timp sa viziteze Bucurestiul, Dolph si-a prelungit sederea in Romania pentru a face un tur al Capitalei. Actorul a strabatut Calea Victoriei si bulevardul Magheru si a fost interesat in mod deosebit de cladirile vechi ale Bucurestiului. El a facut o escala la Casa Poporului si la Muzeul National Militar, de unde, la sfirsitul vizitei, a primit o editie bilingva romano-engleza a cartii “Armata Romana”, pe care o rasfoise la intrarea in muzeu. “The Defender” este primul film pentru care Dolph semneaza si regia. Pina acum, el a avut roluri in peste 20 de filme, fiind si producator al unuia dintre ele, “Penthatlon”. Dolph a debutat la virsta de 28 de ani, in 1985, in “A View to a Kill”, din seria “James Bond”. Au urmat “Rocky IV”, in care apare alaturi de Sylvester Stalone, “Johnny Mnemonic”, cu Keanu Reeves, sau “Universal Soldier”, cu Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Jerry Springer interpreteaza in film rolul presedintelui american. Realizator al unuia dintre talkshow-urile cu cea mai mare audienta din SUA, Jerry Springer a fost primar al orasului Cincinnati (1977), actor si producator. De asemenea, a fost consilier in campania politica a lui Robert F. Kennedy. Springer este si cintaret de country. Desi spune ca vocea sa “suna mai bine in ziare”, el a cintat in deschidera concertelor lui Billy Ray Cyrus, precum si in celebrul club al lui Johnny Depp, “The Viper Room”.

DOLPH LUNDGREN: “Transilvania e in Romania? Dracula e roman? Nu stiam”
de Corina Stoicescu

Un actor celebru, cu un corp de invidiat, despre care cei mai multi ar putea crede ca este doar ”un pachet de muschi”. Dolph Lundgren, rivalul lui Stallone din “Rocky IV” si cel al lui Van Damme in “Soldatul Universal”, a fost un student eminent si un sportiv de talie mondiala. Aflat in Romania, suedezul a acceptat sa acorde un interviu revistei noastre in care a dezvaluit detalii picante despre viata particulara, despre marea sa pasiune, artele martiale, despre debutul regizoral si despre metodele de antrenament care il fac sa fie intr-o forma de invidiat
Corina Stoicescu

Declaratii:
“Mi-aduc aminte ca in copilarie eram destul de firav. Din cauza astmului aveam probleme”

“Nu imi pare rau ca am renuntat la box. Dimpotriva! In Rocky IV doar am interpretat un personaj, am devenit celebru, am luat bani multi, si totul fara sa incasez vreo lovitura. Ca sportiv cistigi mai putini bani decit in meseria de actor”

“De doua pe saptamina merg la sala de forta si de doua ori fac jogging. De ani de zile ma antrenez in stil de comando! O modalitate ceva mai dura…Chiar si aici, in Romania, am iesit sa alerg in jurul Palatului Parlamentului. E o cladire foarte mare si de aceea tot traseul il parcurg in 20 de minute”

“Cunosc ca pina la sfirsitul anilor ’80 si inceputul anilor ’90, Romania a fost condusa de Ceausescu, de altfel singurul presedinte din Europa de Est care a fost ucis”

Dolph Lundgren a terminat filmarile din Romania Marti 09 Martie 2004

Dolph Lundgren a terminat filmarile la "The Defender", primul proiect realizat in calitate de regizor, film pe care l-a turnat la Studiourile MediaPro din Buftea. Alaturi de Lundgren (care joaca rolul principal), in film apare si celebrul moderator de talk-show-uri Jerry Springer, care nu se joaca pe sine, ci este chiar presedintele Statelor Unite. La o zi dupa terminarea filmarilor, Dolph Lundgren a luat pranzul impreuna cu ambasadorul Suediei la Bucuresti, E.S. Svante Kilander, si a reusit sa se si plimbe prin oras. A facut o escala la Casa Poporului si la Muzeul Militar National, unde a primit cadou o editie bilingva a cartii "Armata Romana". Pentru cei care nu stiu, actorul de origine suedeza i-a fost partener lui Jean-Claude Van Damme in "Soldatul universal".
