The great news is the sequel to the film has begun filming with Gareth Evans back in the director’s chair and Iko Uwais returning as the central character Rama.

And we have some very first pics from the film for you to take a look at:

I cannot express to you how excited I am about this film and I am delighted to see Evans back as he did such a wonderful job with The Raid.

The movie will follow on from The Raid and will see Rama going undercover to bring down a crime gang.

No release date for the film has yet been revealed – fingers crossed it is as soon as possible.

Third Clip For The Raid

Now The Raid is a movie that I have been looking forward to for some time and I will be going to check it out tonight so fingers crossed it lives up to all the hype.

The action movie from director Gareth Evans hits the big screen this week and is the second of three projects that he has with actor Iko Uwais.

So if you can’t wait until the weekend to check out this action flick then we have a third clip from the movie for you to take a look at:

In the heart of Jakarta lies a rundown apart¬ment infested with druggies and drifters.

It’s ruled by a ruthless drug lord who uses the tenement to shelter his junkie customers, pushers, enforcers and brutal killers.

The apartment block is considered untouch¬able by even the bravest of police – until one early morning when, cloaked under dawn’s dark¬ness, an elite SWAT team, led by officer Rama (Uwais), raids the peril-filled structure.

As Rama’s squad races between the maze of rooms and floors, encountering a barrage of gunfire, machetes, and ruthless hand-to-hand combat around every corner, the stakes get higher and higher building to an explosive crescendo and an ultimate battle.

The Raid is released 18th May.

Another Clip From The Raid

The Raid: Redemption looks set to be one of the action movies not to miss this summer as director Gareth Evans teams up with Indonesian martial arts actor Iko Uwais.

This is the second time that the director and actor have worked together and there is a third collaboration in the pipeline.

The first clip that we showed you introduced us to our central character but this time we see him in action as the martial arts skills are on full display.

The Raid: Redemption Clip

Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans is back in the director’s chair this May what promises to be his biggest and best movie yet… The Raid: Redemption.

The movie which he penned as well as directs sees him team up with martial arts sensation Iko Uwais for this action packed movie.

And we have a new clip from the movie for you to take a quick peak at:

Deep in the heart of one of Jakarta’s most deprived slums stands an impenetrable high-rise apartment block.

To most it is 30 floors of Hell to be avoided at all cost but for many of the city’s most dangerous killers and gangsters, including the area’s most notorious crime lord, it is a fortress-like safe house protecting them from the law. Even for the bravest and most experienced police officers it is considered a no-go area.

In a desperate bid to flush these violent criminals and their leader from their haven once and for all, an elite SWAT team is tasked with infiltrating the building and raiding the apartments floor by floor, taking out anyone who stands in their way.

Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness, the SWAT members make their move and enter the block not realizing that this is the easier part of the mission. Once inside, it soon becomes terrifyingly apparent that the real problem at hand is surviving long enough to be able to get out again.

The Raid: Redemption is released 18th May.
