The original “Raid” starred Indonesian (part-time) action star Iko Uwais and directed by Evans. It was a surprise at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2011, and the response was overwhelming. The original crew then added a “Raid 2”, which was also praised as the pinnacle of action movies.
The reboot of “The Raid” moves the story to the “Badlands”, a Philadelphia drug cave, where an undercover DEA agent tries to use a tip to catch a elusive gang boss.
Patrick Hughes previously filmed “The Expendables 3” starring Stallone, and Deadpool served as the funny “Ace Bodyguard” and “Ace Bodyguard 2”, so he quickly became popular and became one of the few action film directors who can write and direct (the first from the left). ).
He also has a “Man from Toronto,” about a killer fighting a gangster, set for release this summer.
In addition, Apple has finally decided that “The Morning News” will have a third season, and the three-year contract with Rachel and Legally Blonde can’t be wasted – Reese Witherspoon guessed when the second season was still on the air Apple will not let it go, and 80% is planning a third season.
In order to inject high-quality content into its nascent streaming platform Apple TV, Apple skipped the pilot episode and paid a lot of money to directly order two seasons of 20 episodes of “The Morning News”, led by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon starring. In order to attract the two to join, Apple offered $1.25 million per episode and signed a three-year performance/production contract with the two.
But the third season saw a change of creators, with Charlotte Stoudt replacing original producer Kerry Ehrin, who stepped back to serve as an advisor. Charlotte Stoudt has written several episodes of “Homeland” and “House of Cards” before, her strength is yet to be verified, and Apple’s ace series is a good opportunity for her to make a name for herself.
