SKIN TRADE (Ekachai Uekrongtham, 2014)

[TEMIRLAN]

So the film starts shooting January 4 as Dolph promised or ... ?

[Jox]

More around the 15th or the end of the month.

[TEMIRLAN]

Fast and Furious 7 is said to start filming in January too, I wonder if Tony has scenes to shot there. Wondar what will happen if both movies film at the same time.

I don't think F&F is gonna be a problem right now. Maybe they'll start amking tests with Walker's brother or things like that, but as we said before, other actors have commitment, just as Tony Jaa. So I think the shooting schedule of our highly anticipated movie shouldn't be bothered by this one.
Political situation is a little more worrying, even if it has calmed down.


Any idea when you'll be able to give away the new name added to the cast Jox ?

[TEMIRLAN]

Indeed. You really shouldn't have given a hint to us about it. I'm so impatiant to the name.

[Jox]

Well now you have it on IMDB: it's Peter Weller, and apparently also Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (whom I was not aware of).

Let me just tell you right off it's not a sub-EXPENDABLES cast, the script has many more or less important characters they're trying to fill with good actors instead of numerous unknowns.

Blimey, this is a really good cast. Tagawa has proved to be a great villain in D films previously. He's another great cast member. As for robocop, what else can you say? Weller is awesome.

Love both actors, Peter Weller was pretty much the only good thing about Dragon Eyes, he was fantastic. And Tagawa is the scariest son of a bitch ever, he's served Dolph well. Lucky Asians are small, as there won't be much room on the cover with all these names...

[TEMIRLAN]

I really loved Peter Weller in Startrek: Into Darkness. He's full of charisma. Cary Tagawa? Well, he's got more charisma than all the cast of The Exps 1-2-3. )

[thegoon4eto]

Darn... The cast is a blast!!

[bomaz]

Yes, that's great for both.
Peter Weller is a great actor, and can bring a lot to a character.
I really like Tagawa, especially since I saw him in "Hatchi". The movie is "tear vacuum", but he's really touching in it.
SO far, no mistake has been done

Amazing, this is a true ensemble cast.

10 Potentially Awesome DTV Action Movies Coming In 2014
1. Skin Trade

Great list! Skin Trade is the most promising of those movies though, mainly thanks to the elongated shooting schedule and the cast. I feel sorry for Nicholas Cage being included in the list but I suppose there was only one way he was gonna go...DTV, to join the rest of the ranks. Someone should do Con Air 2 and pack it with well known faces - as if. A little part of me hopes that Skin Trade might get a limited release with a simultaneous VOD premiere, I don't think that's too much to expect considering the After Dark Action Series was like that...

[viendammage]

I think we'll get a small release as they'll try to play off Jaa in Fast/Furious 7 and Dolph in EX3. It'll play in NY and LA for sure before VOD/DVD.
