On the Set of Redbelt (the BJJ) Movie

A few months back, I mentioned a couple of movies I'm really looking forward to. I'm happy to see that both are moving forward. Matthew is polishing up Walking to the Cage, and I noticed that there's an interview with David Mamett, the director of Redbelt on YouTube.



Decorated writer/director, some big names in the sport, and one of my favorite movies is Serenity, where the star of Redbelt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, played a great villain. He's also been involved in many other quality projects.

This is in stark contrast to a movie that... let's just say I'm on the fence, called Never Back Down. It looks a little cheesy. One guy very aptly described it as Karate Kid meets the OC. There's another one on the horizon called Never Submit, written and directed by Don Dunn, best known for... well, not much. I'm sensing a theme. Looking at his resume, he was the producer of Jiminy Glick in Lalawood.

Oh man.
