Chennai, June 15: Hollywood actor Danny Sapani, who is playing the antagonist in upcoming Suriya-starrer Tamil action-drama "Singam 2", is dubbing in his voice for the movie, in London.
Sapani has earlier starred in English films such as "Trance", "Mercenaries" and "The Oxford Murders".
"Danny Sapani is dubbing in his own voice for the film in London under the supervision of director Hari Gopalakrishnan. For the first time in Tamil cinema, a Hollywood actor is dubbing in his own voice," said a statement from the production house Prince Pictures.
Danny locks horns with Suriya in the much-anticipated sequel to Tamil blockbuster.

It's unfair to pre-judge a film based on a 42 second teaser, right? Well, I'm trying my damnedest, but the first couple of teasers from Suriya's Singam 2 are not yet inspiring confidence. This latest bit of footage introduces a new villain character played by Danny Sapani (Trance, Mercenaries), though who or what he is isn't terribly clear. There's a lot of chasing, very little actual fighting, and some yelling. That's about.It's no secret that I'm a Suriya fan, but that has largely to do with the man's screen presence and charisma and less to do with his last few films, unfortunately. Singam 2 has some big shoes to fill, and I'll be there in the cinema on day one, but my expectations continue to...

Another week, another Monday. So it’s time for the rundown of DVDs and Blu-ray’s hitting stores online and offline this week. It’s another packed week, with plenty of movies waiting to take you money, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, April 16th 2012.
Pick Of The Week
Recoil (DVD/Blu-ray)
A cop turns vigilante after his family is murdered, exacting vengeance on the killers – and then on all criminals who have slipped through the system. Recoil Review
And the rest…
The Ledge (DVD/Blu-ray)
An affair with a neighbour’s wife (Liv Tyler) ends badly when Gavin (Charlie Hunnam) is forced onto a high rise ledge and given one hour to jump by a jealous husband (Patrick Wilson). A cop (Terrence Howard) is looking to save both their lives but will he have enough time?...

The Descendants (15)
(Alexander Payne, 2011, Us) George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Nick Krause, Robert Forster. 115 mins
A sideways move from Sideways takes Payne on another tour of masculine crises, though this has mellowed and matured for longer. Family issues jolt Clooney out of his Hawaiian comfort zone. His wife's sudden coma puts him in charge of their two daughters, and brings their marriage into perspective, while his control of the ancestral estate adds to the burden. It's a well-rooted drama of great performances and big themes (and probably big awards).
Like Crazy (12A)
(Drake Doremus, 2011, Us) Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence. 90 mins
Young love sees no colour, but it must abide by visa regulations in this cross-Atlantic romantic saga, which tests a couple's endurance in an offbeat, indie style.
The Grey (15)
(Joe Carnahan, 2012, Us) Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo. 117 mins
Liam Neeson v wolves – seems like a good match.

Does what it says on the tin
15
Mercenaries is a film that does, as they say, what it says on the tin, and what's on the tin is the promise of a straight-up action film about mercenary commandoes, largely Brits, who go storming into a fictionalised, newly war-torn Serbia whose president has just been toppled. Their specific mission? Aside from shouting and firing extremely large guns? To rescue the Us ambassador and his wife, that's what. So that's one in the eye for those showoff Yanks who have to rely on our chaps to rescue their man in Belgrade. Geezer veteran Geoff Bell plays one of the tough guys. Anyway, the plot and dialogue is borderline ridiculous and the absence of acting Oscar nominations is not exactly a scandal. But director Paris Leonti puts together some reasonably serviceable action sequences on a finite budget.
Rating: 2/5

Mercenaries
Stars: Billy Zane, Vas Blackwood, Geoff Bell, Kirsty Mitchell, Robert Fucilla | Written and Directed by Paris Leonti
It would be disingenuous to suggest that I had anything other than fairly low expectations for my first screening of 2012. A low-budget, war film starring a bunch of unknown actors ‘and Billy Zane’ (a title card that actually caused titters of mirth among some of the more openly dismissive members of the audience)? How good could this possibly be?
If 462 users on the IMDb (at time of writing) are to be believed, not very good at all. It currently holds a rating of 4.4. Having seen Mercenaries, this seems a little unfair to me. Sure, it’s no classic, nor even a rough diamond, but it’s far from a stinker. The film begins with a military coup in Serbia. The low budget is evident from off, though the brutal execution of the...

As long as you have Billy Zane on your side, you’ll never be outgunned or outnumbered. Below you’re probably going to find the trailer for director Paris Leonti’s “Mercenaries”, a film that’s currently scheduled to arrive on Region 2 DVD this March. North American residents have not yet been presented with a release date, though I suspect it will probably drop around the same time. This, of course, is nothing more than late-night speculation on my part, so whatsoever you do, don’t quote me. Check out this synopsis before continuing: Andy Marlow is an ex-British S.A.S serviceman turned mercenary who is working covertly at an observation post in the Balkans after a military coup has resulted in the assassination of the Serbian Prime Minister. The coup has been instigated by Olodan Cracovic, the ex-commander of the Croat Army and wanted war criminal. During the unrest,...

And the fourth story today about a movie with the word "dark" somewhere in its title has come our way, this time for the mysterious Dark Peak, which we last told you about a few months ago during Afm.
Dark Peak is a sci-fi thriller in the vein of The Philadelphia Experiment meets The Descent and based on a true story.
Written by Alistair Audsley and directed by Ben Jagger, the film tells the story of a group of hikers on Dark Peak who encounter a terrifying, mysterious force. The one surviving member must convince his rescuers that something is very wrong, so wrong that he cannot conceive of its full impact until it is too late.
Since WWII there have been over 50 unexplained air crashes on Dark Peak in the UK.
The film is being produced by Paul Tucker on behalf of Belief Films, who has been involved in producing films such as Braveheart,...

Every day unexplained things happen all over the world. Sometimes several times in the same exact place. That's right, kids! Time to dig on a new flick that examines the unknown and is based upon "actual events".
The London and La-based Stealth Media Group, an all rights film distributor and international film and TV sales company, has boarded Dark Peak, a sci-fi thriller in the vein of The Philadelphia Experiment meets The Descent and based on a true story.
