Shrapnel Clip Teases Action & Revenge for Jason Patric and Cam Gigandet

The Lost Boys star Jason Patric teams up with Never Back Down star Cam Gigandet in the upcoming action outing, Shrapnel, and we’ve gotten our hands on an exclusive clip. Coming courtesy of Saban Films, Shrapnel promises the kind of no-nonsense action that can sometimes really hit the spot as Patric and Gigandet embark on an R-rated mission for revenge. Check out our exclusive clip from Shrapnel below.

“When Sean’s daughter goes missing on the Mexican border, he teams up with his former Marine partner (Cam Gigandet) to face off against the cartel who kidnapped her,” the official synopsis for Shrapnel reads. And it is certainly a synopsis that suggests Shrapnel will strip away the fat and serve up all manner of action movie delights.

The footage finds Patric’s character Sean Beckwith turning to his brother in arms, Cam Gigandet’s Max Vohden, for advice after his daughter is kidnapped. After offering some diplomatic suggestions, Max reveals what he would do in the same situation, and it involves lighting things up and burning things down.

Directed by William Kaufman (The Channel) and written by Chad Law and Johnny Martin Walters, Shrapnel finds Jason Patric (The Losers, Sleepers) and Cam Gigandet (Twilight, Violent Night) in the lead, with the supporting cast including the likes of Kesia Elwin (Miracle at St. Anna), Mauricio Mendoza (Final Vow, As Good as Dead), and Guillermo Iván (Vantage Point).

Shrapnel has been rated R for having violence throughout, which should allow the two former Marines to enact the bloody vengeance they want, as well as language and brief sexuality. The action outing has a runtime of just 89 minutes, meaning that there will be very little messing around once the opening credits are over.

Shrapnel is scheduled to be released in theaters, on Digital and On Demand on July 28, 2023.

This year has had plenty to offer action movie fans, offering big blockbuster thrills and smaller, more intimate outings much like Shrapnel. One of the biggest action successes of the year came courtesy of the sequel John Wick: Chapter 4, which finds Keanu Reeves’ dog-loving assassin now with a price on his head. John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin. Met with critical acclaim and massive box office success, John Wick: Chapter 4 is now the highest-grossing movie in the franchise.

This year has also seen the released of Plane, starring Gerard Butler and Mike Colter, the Netflix sequel Extraction 2, which is once again led by Marvel star Chris Hemsworth, the explosive blockbuster follow-up Fast X, director Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, and Sisu, which sees a former Finnish commando take revenge on a death squad led by a brutal SS officer.

Audiences can currently bask in the thrills and death-defying stunts of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which finds Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and his IMF team tracking down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands.

And that’s not all, with the rest of the year promising the release of such action flicks as Heart of Stone, The Equalizer 3, Expend4bles, Retribution, and Meg 2: The Trench.

From Saban Films, Shrapnel will be released in theaters, on digital, and on demand July 28th.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
