“The Raid” Theatrical Poster
Indonesian writer/director Ranjeet S. Marwa (Godforsaken) is currently hard-at-work preparing his next film, Blood Rush, which starts filming later this year. Timo Tjahjanto (director of The Night Comes for Us, Killers) will act as the film’s production consultant.
Currently, plot details for Blood Rush are being kept under wraps, but Marwa is describing the action/thriller as “a symphony of chaotic violence…. unlike anything that has come before.”
So far, action stars on board for Blood Rush are Zack Lee (The Night Comes for Us, The Raid 2), Sunny Pang (Headshot, The Night Comes for Us), Yayan Ruhian (The Raid, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Yakuza Apocalypse), Nick Khan (Marvel’s Secret Project), Nathan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road), Cecep Arif Rahman (The Raid 2) and Singapore’s Grace Teo.
We’ll keep you updated on Blood Rush as we learn more.
Updates: FCS reports that horror icon Tony Todd (The Crow, Candyman) is in final negotiations to star in Blood Rush. The same source adds that production has since scaled back from plans for a summer shoot, now aiming closer to a Fall season start date due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
I can already sense it’s going to be flaming trash, just like Foxtrot Six was. Recycling every actor from The Raid doesn’t automatically mean quality.
