Mystic Blade is a new movie written by Don Ferguson and is being Directed and Produced by husband and wife team, and good friends, David and Ying Ismalone. So I spent the other night in the Jungle in Central Thailand filming with a bunch of friends and stuntmen, and also with Thailands tallest man....

I
just scored a parts in 2 movies starting filming tomorrow - as typical
in this country, everything at the very last minute. One part is small
and insignificant and the other is a good action part with a good fight
scene. The small part has the benefit I'll be able to finish my latest
movie script for presentation to... an interested investor upon my return in a week or so. Brilliant. Life and career moving ahead again. I'll write more later. |

True Legend, the Chinese 3D action movie of 2010, has been released across China today in time for Chinese New Year, so you know it is a big release movie. True Legend opens across the rest of Asia about the same time, in Thailand it is the week after, on the 18th Feb that it hits cinemas, so I'll have to wait until then to see it, hopefully there is an Imax cinema in Pattaya so I can see myself in 3D too.

AWESOME! It is not often I get excited about a movie.
Solomon Kane is another character by Robert E. Howard - the creator of the Conan (the barbarian) character.
This is one movie that I am looking forward to watching, it looks like a faithful reproduction of the book character which is important for me as the character in Robert E. Howards books has always resonated with me.
He is strong emotionally, mentally and physically tough (not big and muscular like the Conan character) with a strong life purpose - just the sort of 'hero' needed by todays youth....

Recently on an Actors forum I replied to a post asking if an actor should have a personal website. Another qualified poster said it was more than important it is essential these days and talked about the old days when you would get out the Telephone book and look someone's number up.
He then went on to say when was the last time you looked up a business in the Telephone book? Years and years if I can remember rightly, probably over 10 years for me. These days I type in the business namke into Google and get the details from the web, or if that fails I use the Yellow Pages online.
You as an actor are a business, selling yourself, so yes you need to get online and findable....

New Opportunity = New showreel.
Just about everytime a new chance for a movie part that is big comes along, out I come with a new showreel... if I can... So that means I have been asked if I would like to be in a new BIG movie that everyone will know??? Can't say just yet but had an interesting social meeting the other night....
Since Bangkok Adrenaline is now out all across Thailand I can get some footage, unfortunately it has all been dubbed into Thai.... except for 2 deleted scenes that were added to the DVD edition as extra features!
Yay! Footage of me speaking English! Not dubbed into Thai, Hindi, or Mandarin as usual.
Bangkok Adrenaline In Stores (Powerkids is the DVD above)
Funnily enough the Powerkids DVD was on sale just above the Bangkok Adrenaline DVD. Too bad the Powerkids footage is useless at this point in my career....

Is Conan's movie career about to emulate the Big Bang? i.e. before there was nothing and after the Big Bang there was a whole universe (of opportunity).
Well not really nothing before hand, but for American audiences Conan is still an unknown. Which unfortunately translates to Australian audiences (and more pointedly industry professionals) equating Conan with a Zero, Indian and Asian films don't count apparently in Australia, such small minds... but that is a different article altogether, so lets get back on track...
Will Conan's career go supernova very soon shooting him in a bright light upon the American movie scene?
I have been contacted to work in a role that I believe I am suitable for, in a US movie, filming in the US, through my Australian Agent with a very well known film star. Now I have to complete the audition successfully as the next step and with any luck (luck = prior work and commitment) I'll soon be known to many millions more, and most importantly start working in movies that pay well.
That's all I can write for now. I will let you know any further developments when I am allowed to write about it.

As an actor the roles you get will be less dependant upon your abilitites than the abilities of your agent.
A harsh reality, an even harsher reality when your agent isn't very good.
So how do you get a good acting agent?

A couple of weeks ago three agents called me within a few days and I was put up for 3 different TV Commercials (TVC's). One was for Japan, one for Russia and one for Thailand.
Turns out the Russian one was only a small part so I did not need to go for a casting, just my recent photos were enough, the Japanese TVC I had to go to a casting (2 casting it turned out), and the Thai TVC my photos were enough to start with...

David Carradine, star of the age old TV series Kung Fu, was today found dead in his Bangkok hotel room, several stories are already making the rounds in the media, hopefully the media will settle on onenon-conflicting story to make the "suicide" ruling more believable.
David has 222 acting credits to his name on his IMDB page, 14 movies for 2009 alone! This is how I personally met David - in Beijing onset during the filming of the True Legend movie, in fact we had a full day of filming together, as he played my boss....

Our movie, Bangkok Adrenaline, has finished its run in cinemas in Thailand - 7 weeks total, the longest run being in my new home town - Pattaya. Bangkok Adrenaline was a cinematical success!
According to my knowledge in Thai cinema there several cut off points if your movie doesn't make monetary targets it is removed from cinema.
Bangkok Adrenaline made it past the two cut off points and was allowed to run until it stopped making profits....

Bangkok Adrenaline is finally released today 14th May 2009. 3 nights ago I attended the preview screening, held at Siam Paragon, Bangkok.
First up I was surprised that the marketing team had decided to use me as the centre piece for some of the advertising posters, apparently they see me as being a minor celebrity here and thought I would be better known to the Northern audiences, since I have been in a few big budget releases already.

So what did I think of the final edit?

Anyway Bangkok Adrenaline will be getting good coverage...

Two weeks before Christmas 2008 I was scheduled to interviewed on the internet radio station Morning Show Central at www.uncensorednetnoise.com (with over 100,000 listeners world wide), unfortunately we had some difficulty with the telephone hook up and had to reshedule the interview.
3 days before I left to Beijing, to work on the movie True Legend I got on the show, so if you ever wanted to know what Conan Stevens sounds like in person, here is your (recorded) chance...

Finally the movie that I moved to Thailand for has been released, 4 /12 years after I filmed in it we finally get to see it. For me it was very funny, a sense of deja vu, or in reality being taken back to that niave person who came and worked for peanuts in my 1st ever Thai film (to be honest though I would not have been paid anymore no matter what I did).
Back then I thought how good it would be to be seen on the big screen in my new temporary home and how good it would be to be recognised by a few avid movie fans who had watched the movie, and we waited, and waited.....

Alright everyone is doing a Vampire movie, Vampires are IN, seems to be the message even the satirical cartoon series South Park did an episode on the latest fad. Several box office smashes and everyone is scrambling to get a piece of the pie...
Now this movie is different, first it is based on a anime series (the Japanese adult cartoons), it has an Asian twist which means really good martial arts and wire work and the hero is a heroine...
Blood: The Last Vampire follows the Japanese anime storyline with the heroine, South Korean Actress and Model Gianna Jun, playing in the role of a 1/2 Vampire 1/2 Human Japanese Schoolgirl complete with cute sailor style Japanese school uniform....

After much waiting and many delays I have finally made a new showreel featuring the latest movies, this is a much needed update to my previous showreel, and much, much better than the original showreel that Ray threw together for me when we were looking for finance for Bangkok Adrenaline. As you can see most of the footage is new except some of the final wrestling which was a direct lift from my old showreel as I am pressed for time.
So why am I pressed for time?

True Legend: the upcoming movie Directed by the man behind the scenes with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Kill Bill, and the Matrix series... a true legend in his own right... Yuen Woo Ping.
True Legend (Su Qi-Er Chinese title) follows in the footsteps of Chinese movies with world wide cinema release that have gone Internationally successful, such as Fearless and Forbidden Kingdom, both of which Yuen Woo Ping was the Action Choreographer for.
I recently travelled to Beijing, China to have the great honour to work with Master Yuen on True Legend, his first Directed movie in 12 or 20 years (depending who you ask)....

About 2 months ago now I travelled to Pattaya City for a day to film in the Thai movie E-Tim Tai Nae, the Director asked for me directly as I have worked with him before, so no casting involved just a negotiation on pay and how many days they want me for filming.
E-Tim Movie Poster
Turns out that the first time I was due to film was just after I returned from my latest trip to Australia, and ended up not being able to shoot as I had contracted Chicken Pox. Luckily for me they held the part and filmed later so I was able to appear in the movie...

Film student projects, amateur video shoots, Indie films (Independant films), no budget and deferred payment movies - all basically volunteer movie projects that you can work on.
Personally I have worked on a few different types of these already, firstly for experience and secondly for footage and thirdly to make contacts.
But there is now very little chance that I will work on any of these again any time soon....

YES! Drona is releasing in 2 weeks time, more showreel for me.
Today I scoured the web for information and it seems that my name is all over the place in connection with this Drona movie, great, it will be nice to see if the website traffic from India suddenly increases in 2 weeks time... I certainly am hoping it will.
Also I found the new theatrical trailer and a couple of released photos, so I can display these without breaking my NDA.

It is looking very likely that I will be working in 1, and possibly in 2 overseas movies early next year. At this point I cannot say anymore but as soon as I am able to write more I will.

I just wrote a massive article on the movie preview and the f'n website timed out and did not save the article, I am not writing it all again, suffice to say I met some interesting people who could be some very interesting future contacts and I was happy with my 10 seconds on screen - also the movie will not be released internationally as it is far too Thai (cultural references).

First the Hanuman The White Monkey Warrior movie poster and now the Hanuman action movie trailer, and also another poster for this local produced movie, and an accompanying music video.
In the trailer I can be seen very, very briefy at the 54 second mark with the group of prize fighters (I am the biggest one of course) but am also wearing a ski mask so my face doesn't show.
In my final take I throw the hero across the room and then yell at him, to add dramatic effect (and to get my face onscreen) I pulled off the ski mask spat on the ground (in contempt) and yelled obscenities at the Hero now laying face down across the room...

Walking along Sukhumvit yesterday I noticed that the Treasured Island DVD is on the streets, apparently it has been for a while but this is the first time I have seen it.
Treasured Island is the English release title for the French movie I'lle Aux Tresors that we filmed in Ao Nung (near Krabi) and Trang in the south of Thailand, as you can tell by the beautiful beach and island scenes...

Hanuman, by Panakorn films has a solid release date finally - 12th Aug 2008, only a few weeks away, with the premiere showing one week before. You may recall I first cast for this back in Aug 2006, then the working title was 'The Big'.
Cool. Finally I am getting showreel footage, and some measure of fame.
Ads and posters are up around the city and in cinemas now with the date firmly set...
