Watch Gareth Evans Samurai Short Film
The Raid films where nothing extraordinary, giving action films a serious kick up the backside, but it’s been quiet from Gareth Evans camp for a while now. We know The Raid 3 will be coming in the next couple of years, Evans has been keeping a low profile until now with the release of a new short, check it out now…
A 5 minute black and white film has now appeared online called Pre Vis Action. It’s more of an 5 minute action scene, a scene which will keep those eager for the third film (including us) going. You will recognise many of the faces as Yayan Ruhian, Cecep Arif Rahman and Hannah Al Rashid are the fighters, all from The Raid films.
In a time of civil war, a young warrior is given the task of delivering a treaty between two rival lords. During her journey through the woods however, she finds herself hunted by two assassins intent on intercepting her message of peace in a bid to maintain the fear, instability and violent rule of their leader
Via Twitter Gareth Evans explained his reasons for the short, “While here, we made the following little short sequence; partly to test out some choreography ideas I had, partly to see if we could create something non-violent my kiddo could see, but mainly [because] I really needed to fucking shoot something after 2 years without picking up a camera. The four of us made up the entire cast and crew. We shot in the Valleys. Nothing more bizarre than being at old places I used to play as a kid with Mad Dog and some plastic swords.”
“create choreography that maintains the style and rhythm set out in their prior work while staying within the parameters of a PG-13/12A audience friendly certification.”
fantastic little short film which will appease The Raid fans a like as its full of the magic we come to expect from Gareth Evans.
