The Transporter is one of Jason Statham’s most iconic action movie franchises, but it remains unclear if he’ll ever play Frank Martin again in Transporter 5. The franchise debuted in 2002 with the release of The Transporter, which marked Statham’s first headlining role in a major action vehicle. The titular stoic mercenary-turned-driver quickly became the defining role of Statham’s career and opened the door to other opportunities in the genre. Not only did he go on to star in other action films like War, Crank, and The Mechanic; he reprised his role as Frank in two more Transporter movies.

The trilogy got bigger, bolder, and better with each movie. 2005’s Transporter 2 expanded the scope with even more bonkers action scenes and 2008’s Transporter 3 became the highest-grossing entry in the series. The Transporter franchise continued after that, with a fourth film and a TV spinoff, but Statham never played Frank again.

"This is your life - what do you want to do?" Ambi Media Group and Spotted Cow Entertainment debuted an official trailer for an indie coming-of-age film called In Search of Fellini, which is indeed about a young woman's search for Fellini. Ksenia Solo stars as a shy small-town Ohio girl who discovers Federico Fellini's "delightfully bizarre films" (see IMDb) and sets off on a journey across Italy to find him. Along the way, she discovers herself and romance and tasty Italian candy and much more. The cast includes Maria Bello, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Beth Riesgraf, Andrea Osvárt, and David O'Donnell. This looks quite adorable, and cute, very much a film-lovers adventure, though it does seem a bit cliche with its story. Enjoy. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Taron Lexton's In Search of Fellini, direct from YouTube: In this coming-of-age adventure, Lucy (Ksenia Solo), a shy...

TV show description:      

Based on the Transporter feature film series, this action-adventure TV show follows Frank Martin (Chris Vance), a professional "transporter." He's paid to pick up and deliver people or cargo from anywhere in the world.

He's the very best at what he does. Martin handles only the most difficult and dangerous of assignments -- and only trusts a handful of people.

A former CIA agent, computer expert Carla Valeri (Andrea Osvárt) negotiates with Martin's clients and provides him with all the information he needs. Technology expert and mechanic Dieter Hausmann (Charly Hübner) alters and repairs Martin's special Audi as needed.

It looks like it's the end of the line for courier Frank Martin. Transporter: The Series, which aired for two seasons on TNT, has been cancelled and won't be returning for a third season.

Anita (Eline Powell), the hero of Roberto Faenza’s new Holocaust film, is a Hungarian Jew and, as the picture opens, survivor of a recently liberated Auschwitz, where she had been interned since childhood through the war. We’re introduced to Anita as she’s welcomed, a bit cautiously, into a small-town home in the mountains of Czechoslovakia. There her Aunt Monica (Andrea Osvárt), now Anita’s closest living relation, is leading a quiet, docile life with her family — and wants very much to keep the horrors of the Shoah in the past. Anita’s arrival, it soon becomes clear, makes all this willed ignorance difficult: In this young girl’s face Monica sees the lingering pain of a history she’d rather not think about. This ...

TNT has picked up the U.S. rights to "Transporter: The Series," an international action drama based on the Luc Besson-produced film franchise about meticulous, skilled driver-for-hire Frank Martin, played by Jason Statham. British actor Chris Vance, who played "freelance psychopath" Mason Gilroy on "Burn Notice" and Dr. Jack Gallagher on "Mental," the short-lived 2009 Fox series set in L.A. but shot in Bogotá, stars as the small screen incarnation of Frank. François Berléand, reprising his role from the films as Inspector Tarconi, is also in the cast, alongside Andrea Osvárt, Delphine Chanéac and Charly Hübner. "Transporter: The Series" is a French-Canadian production, and was originally slated to air in the U.S. on Cinemax, though they ended up passing on the project -- a trailer that was released at the time but has since been taken down didn't look particularly promising. The first season has since aired in Canada,...

Kick-Ass 2 (15)

(Jeff Wadlow, 2013, Us/UK) Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Moretz, Jim Carrey, 103 mins

The amateur Avengers return, though the sequel finds them weighed down by their superhero lifestyles, or is it audience expectations? The ingredients that made the first movie such a pleasure are all here – absurd alter-egos, ultraviolence, high-school angst, swearing – just minus the element of surprise. As a result, this incident-packed story struggles to recapture that balance between comic-book zaniness and real-world teen comedy.

2 Guns (15)

(Baltasar Kormákur, 2013, Us) Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton. 109 mins

Two double-crossed undercover agents must unravel a convoluted conspiracy (and learn to get along, of course) in what could almost be a Lethal Weapon reboot. Washington and Wahlberg spark off each other nicely, which is all that's needed.

Aftershock was released to Blu-ray and DVD this week, and we were given the opportunity to submit questions to director Nicolás López. In our latest Q&A feature, Nicolás López talks about working with Eli Roth, practical effects, and his thoughts on The Green Inferno:

Now that Aftershock has seen a theatrical and VOD release in the Us, are you happy with how the movie has been received by horror fans?

Nicolás López: It’s very exciting to know that people from all around the world are watching the movie on VOD, DVD or…pirated, and being able to have a direct dialogue with the fans (and haters) on twitter and instagram (@nicolaslopez) is awesome. I love every reaction. Love or hate. I just want the people to watch the movie.

Instead of a typical disaster, Aftershock is infused with horror elements. Was this something you always planned...

This week: Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman make an "effective team" in director Joseph Kosinski's eye-popping sci-fi think piece "Oblivion," which also stars Olga Kurylenko, Melissa Leo and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Also new this week is Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper in the intense crime drama "The Place Beyond the Pines," the infuriating documentary "West of Memphis" and the earth-shatteringly stupid horror flick "Aftershock" starring Eli Roth.

'Oblivion'

Box Office: $89 million

Rotten Tomatoes: 54% Rotten

Storyline: "Tron: Legacy" helmer Joseph Kosinski directs this sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise as Jack Harper, the lone security repairman stationed on a ruined Earth. Jack believes that after a long battle with alien invaders, the surviving humans were forced to abandon the planet and he will join them shortly. But when Jack rescues a beautiful stranger (Olga Kurylenko) who crash-lands in her spacecraft, her arrival triggers a series of events that causes Jack...

shockingly disastrous events that occur in the latter part of the film. Gringo (Eli Roth) has traveled from California to Chile to visit his friend, Ariel (Ariel Levy). Ariel's best friend Pollo (Nicolás Martínez) is one of the most connected people in the Chilean party scene, so Gringo finds himself bouncing from one hot party to the next. The three men have one mission: to hook up with the finest of Chilean ladies. On one fateful night, the three guys finally hit their stride with three beautiful women: Irina (Natasha Yarovenko), Kylie (Lorenza Izzo) and Monica (Andrea Osvárt). Everything is going fantastic, until the earthquake. This is when López's film rapidly transforms itself into the natural disaster film that you are probably expecting; but López actively avoids aping the genre, intent to comment upon its tropes and integrate as many horror elements as possible. López blurs the concept of the hero,...

Stars: Nicolás Martínez, Eli Roth, Ariel Levy, Lorenza Izzo, Natasha Yarovenko, Andrea Osvárt | Written by Nicolás López, Guillermo Amoedo | Directed by Nicolás López

Horror fanboy turned writer/director Eli Roth (Hostel) returns to the screen both behind and in-front of the camera, as co-writer and star of Aftershock. Billed as a horror movie, the film borrows heavily from the 70s disaster movie genre, in particular the Irwin Allen school of filmmaking and his famous flicks The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure.

Whilst the film borrows from the likes of Irwin Allen and 70s disaster flicks, it also suffers from the same problems in that the set-up just takes too damn long. Aftershock spends a good third of the movie following around its leads – Gringo (Roth), Pollo (Martinez) and Ariel (Levy) – as they party it up in Chile, trying to meet girls and all the while getting more and more intoxicated…...

*there are some spoilers here. Director: Nicolás López. Writers: Guillermo Amoedo, Nicolás López and Eli Roth. Cast: Lorenza Izzo, Nicolás Martínez, Eli Roth, Natasha Yarovenko, Ariel Levy and Andrea Osvárt. Aftershock is the latest horror title from Hostel creator Eli Roth. Roth even headlines this piece and Roth is one of three writers for the film. The story borrows from the many disaster films of the '70s. In films like The Poseidon Adventure (1972) and The Towering Inferno (1974): characters are introduced, a chaotic event takes place and the conclusion ends peacefully. This formula is mostly followed in Aftershock. Yet, the conclusion here is a lot more tragic. As well, the principal characters are lost by the beginning of Act 3, which is a strange choice. Aftershock still manages to remain entertaining despite a slow start. The story begins with three friends: Pollo (Nicolás Martínez), Gringo (Eli Roth) and Ariel (Ariel Levy...

Like most disaster flicks, Aftershock starts with an attractive group of people having the time of their lives before their world literally falls apart. This story follows Gringo (Eli Roth) and his Chilean friends Ariel (Ariel Levy) and Pollo (Nicolás Martínez).

They are hosting their friend down in Chile for a relaxing vacation that includes consuming copious amounts of alcohol and drugs at all-night ragers, wine-tasting during the day and an ongoing hunt for hot chicks who are ready to have some fun.

Lucky for the trio, they meet Monica (Andrea Osvart), Kylie (Lorenza Izzo), and Irina (Natasha Yarovenko) who are up for adventuring around Chile with the guys and much more later that night. That’s when everyone’s luck runs out as a devastating earthquake rocks the country and the group of partiers are immediately thrust into a string of life or death situations where their chance for...

With Aftershock making noise in theatres this weekend, we have scored a nine-minute behind-the-scenes look at Nicolas Lopez's brutal disaster/horror hybrid. Check it out, and read our Aftershock reviews here.

Aftershock, an earthquake thriller scripted by Cabin Fever and Hostel's Eli Roth, Nicolas Lopez, and Guillermo Amoedo, revolves around an insane asylum on an island, where the inmates escape during the quake.

It’s the next "Eli Roth Presents" film, and it marks the English-language debut from director Nicolas Lopez. His last two films, Que Pena Tu Vida and Que Pena Tu Boda, were the highest-grossing Chilean films of 2010 and 2011. Roth most recently produced The Last Exorcism, a microbudget film that grossed $70 million worldwide.

Roth and Lopez wrote the story together, inspired by the latter’s experience when an earthquake devastated Chile in 2010. In his first big acting role since Inglourious Basterds, Roth plays the lead. Among...

When he hasn’t been writing directing or producing some of the more notorious entries in the horror/torture porn catalogue (like “Cabin Fever,” “Hostel,” and the two “Last Exorcisms”) Eli Roth has worked on his parallel career as screen star -- perhaps most notably as the Bear Jew, the baseball bat-wielding, Nazi-dispatching, one-man-Jewish-revenge-fantasy of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.” So imagine our surprise to find Roth playing the shirt-tucked-into-mom-jeans-wearing Jewish stereotype of “Aftershock,” which opens Friday (May 10). Produced by Roth, Brian Oliver (“Arthur Newman”) and Miguel Asensio, and directed by Chile’s Nicolas Lopez, the shocker is set in Santiago, where three guys on the make run into what are essentially three supermodels (Lorenza Izzo, Natasha Yarovenko, Andrea Osvart), and then there’s an earthquake. But it’s a bit odd, this very deliberate effort to emphasize the male characters' Jewishness -- something Roth’s...

Sometimes, despite your best intentions, you’ll walk into a movie with negative preconceptions instead of an open mind. It happens to the best of us, and while I can honestly say it’s an extreme rarity for me personally I’m still more than a little ashamed on the occasions where it happens. The most recent example, and probably the first since the Robin Williams/John Travolta travesty Old Dogs, is a new disaster thriller co-written/produced by and starring Eli Roth. His films have never done much for me, his acting even in small roles seemed on par with Quentin Tarantino’s and to make matters worse I’d heard few positive things about the movie. In fact, the most common term used to describe it was “rapey.” So yeah, my expectations were fairly low. But then something wonderful happened. I was happily proven wrong. Roth plays an American nicknamed Gringo who’s visiting Chile...

Today horror fans everywhere should prepare to batten down the hatches for one helluva disaster flick hitting the big screen- Aftershock directed by Nicolás López and starring Eli Roth, Andrea Osvárt, Ariel Levy, Lorenza Izzo and Nicolás Martínez.

With a title like Aftershock you may think you know just what you’re in for with this story, but think again- as it turns out, humanity is far more dangerous than Mother Nature (at least in this case), and just when you think it cannot possibly get any worse for the film’s leads, López and his co-writers Roth and Guillermo Amoedo find new ways to screw with them.

Dread Central caught up with López, Roth and a few others during a recent press day to hear more about how a real earthquake in Chile inspired their story, the challenges of filming such an ambitious effects and action heavy project in South America and much more.

After shock, after shock: Lopez Directs Roth in Another Tourist Nightmare

Recalling the glut of disaster movies that invaded the multiplexes in the 60s and 70s, everything from The Poseidon Adventure and, of course, Earthquake, Eli Roth teams as producer and star for Chilean director Nicolas Lopez’s Aftershock, a film that examines the horrors of unchecked human (rather than mother) nature. Wisely attempting to build characterization with an overly long set up, once the expected chaos sets in one must give credit to the remarkably tense and engaging pacing, even if it hits all the major checkpoints in the path of predictability.

On the last leg of his Chilean vacation, an American tourist known by his cohorts only as the Gringo (Eli Roth), cavorts in the vibrant local club scene for some last minute connections with some recently made friends, the shy Ariel (Ariel Levy), and Pollo (Nicolas Martinez...

Los Angeles — Splat pack ringleader Eli Roth takes his gory roadshow south in "Aftershock," a lively but formulaic Chile-set chiller where a group of tourists finds themselves bloodied, bludgeoned and buried beneath a horrific earthquake. With Roth playing one of the leads and handing off directorial duties to Nicolas Lopez (Santos), the film tends to feel shoddier than the first two "Hostel" movies, even if the team draws laughs from the sight of spoiled hipsters getting their comeuppance in the Third World.

Given how the torture-porn genre has been waning, credited writers Roth, Lopez and Guillermo Amodeo bring down the ketchup count considerably here, and "Aftershock" is less of an all-out bloodbath than a throwback to hokey horror and disaster flicks from the `70s and `80s.

Taking many of its ingredients from the "Hostel" recipe, the film kicks off with a goofy American tourist known simply as Gringo (Roth) trying...

After an earth quake erupts off the coastal town of Valparaiso, Chile, a group of travelers in an underground night club must reach the surface and discover it’s just the beginning of their nightmare. Gringo (Eli Roth) and his Chilean buddies Ariel (Ariel Lev) and Pollo (Nicolas Martinez) must help Kylie (Lorenza Izzo) and Monica (Andrea Osvart) escape looters, convicts, and the aftershocks that followed. Directed by Nicolas Lopez, ‘Aftershock’ is inspired by true events and real life stories over the Chilean earthquake that hit the country in 2010.

How does it feel to be living your dream, from directing to writing to acting?

Eli Roth: I feel like I’m getting to live my dream and there’s really no better feeling in the world. I think one of the keys to that is that I’ve taken chances and I’ve never played it safe on anything that I’ve ever done.

The post New Stills of Eli Roth in Aftershock Released appeared first on Shockya.com.

Chicago – Eli Roth may be in front of the camera for the earthquake horror film “Aftershock,” opening in some markets this weekend, but his fingerprints are all over it as a creative voice as well. From the long “Hostel”-esque set-up about the dread that can come just from being a foreigner in a strange land to the shock value of some of the extreme places that the film goes, it’s a Roth joint. Sadly, writer/director Nicolas Lopez doesn’t have quite the same personality and tonal balance as his star/producer, resulting in a film that too often feels ridiculous instead of tense. The elements all seem to be there but they’re not compiled in a way that creates atmosphere or dread as much as they do confusion and laughter.

Rating: 2.5/5.0

It's hard to tell what's going on in this confusing new poster for Nicolás López's Aftershock starring Eli Roth. Since I haven't seen the film, like the majority of folks out there, can someone please enlighten me? This looks like two images merged into one, making the actors look like their molded together like John Carpenter's alien from The Thing. There's Andrea Osvart, and someone below. Steve Ramos reviewed at the film at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, and although we gave it an above-average score, found it disappointing. Then again, after viewing the red band trailer again for the Radius TWC opener, I can see why I'm confused in all the scatter here. In Aftershock, in the middle of a night of wild partying, a hapless American tourist (Roth) and his friends are suddenly plunged into a living hell when a powerful earthquake rips through the coastal town of Valparaíso,...

The post Experience the Aftershock in New Red-Band Trailer appeared first on Shockya.com.

Nicolas López's Aftershock isn't a horror movie as much as it's a disaster movie filled with the kinds of horrors that take place in a real natural disaster - in this case the horrifying 6.2 aftershock that hit Chile in the summer of 2010 that prompted Lopez and Hostel creator Eli Roth to collaborate on a movie that explores horror from a very real place.

It follows as group of individuals, two connected locals and four tourists traveling through the Santiago, Chile travel and party scene, going from cemeteries to big dance parties and seeing the beautiful city. One of the tourists, an American simply referred to as "Gringo" is played by Roth himself, a divorcee on the look to meet women and having three beautiful choices in Andrea Osvárt, Lorenza Izzo and Natasha Yarovenko. Leading the band is Nicolás Martínez's Pollo, a local player who means well but tends to...

That rumbling you feel is not your stomach hankering for breakfast (or lunch depending on your time zone). It's the vibe given off by the new shaker from Eli Roth and Nicolas Lopez, Aftershock. Check out this new poster!

Aftershock (review), an earthquake thriller scripted by Cabin Fever and Hostel's Eli Roth, Nicolas Lopez, and Guillermo Amoedo, revolves around an insane asylum on an island, where the inmates escape during the quake.

It’s the next "Eli Roth Presents" film, and it marks the English-language debut from director Nicolas Lopez. His last two films, Que Pena Tu Vida and Que Pena Tu Boda, were the highest-grossing Chilean films of 2010 and 2011. Roth most recently produced The Last Exorcism, a microbudget film that grossed $70 million worldwide.

Roth and Lopez wrote the story together, inspired by the latter’s experience when an earthquake devastated Chile in 2010. In his first big acting role since Inglourious Basterds,...

'Cabin Fever' and 'Hostel' helmer Eli Roth proves his triple threat status by penning, producing and performing in Chilean director Nicolas Lopez's upcoming horror thriller 'Aftershock'. The shake and quake thrill ride which from the red band trailer we peeked at earlier this week appears it'll be a nicely blood and gore infused experience. Radius TWC have unveiled a new poster which is sadly disappointing and a tad bland for our tastes but you can check it out below. Eli Roth, Ariel Levy, Nicolas Martinez, Lorenza Izzo, Natasha Yarovenko, Andrea Osvart, Miguel Asensio and Selena Gomez ('Hotel Transylvania') all star....

The big lesson of Aftershock, besides the obvious one about not hanging around when an earthquake cracks open a local Chilean prison letting crazy killer psychos out, is that partying with Eli Roth is a really, really dangerous idea. Check out the blood-soaked, gore-happy new Red Band trailer. A recent Empire Pod-guest (check out our interview with the man at the bottom of the page), Roth is co-writer, producer and star in this one, directed by Chile’s Nicolas Lopez.It starts out feeling much like any other boys’ night out film as Roth’s Gringo and his chums hit the bars, hoping to party with some beautiful women. But in the midst of grooving to the music (that’s what the young folk do these days, right? Groove? Or do they trance it up, Brony-style?), the earth moves in a way they really weren’t expecting, destroying the bar and rupturing the aforementioned prison.

Although Eli Roth’s name is all over Nicolás López’s movie “Aftershock”, and the trailers open with him mouthing off about girls, I get the distinct impression that his character doesn’t actually last for very long in the movie. I mean, I don’t think he’s anywhere after the first minute of this new Red Band trailer. Or maybe I missed him in some of the scenes. Could be, could very well be. Anyways, you’ll be able to find out for yourself how long Roth’s character lasts when “Aftershock” opens on May 10th, 2013 (in limited release, in all likelihood), but until then, check out a new Red Band trailer for the flick. In Chile, a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub when a massive earthquake hits quickly learn that reaching the surface is just the beginning of their nightmare. “Aftershock” also stars Andrea Osvárt,...

Hot on the heels of this morning's trailer debut, we now have an exclusive clip from Aftershock ready and waiting to keep you rockin' and rollin'. Check it out now, and look for more on this one very soon!
