New Jason Statham Video or Deepfake TikTok Account? You Decide

Three and a half million likes in less than 24 hours? Sure, if you are Jason Stratham on TikTok. And it’s the first video on a brand new account. The only video on the account so far. And you are dancing while you divulge your stats.

Looking at the comments, however, nearly 70,000 of them, a large number are asking “is this real”. Deep-fakes are most definitely real. Several accounts used Tom Cruise Deep-fake video to try to spoof an official TikTok account for the star. And a few stray clips of Brad Pit at a script reading spawned a series of fake accounts trying to look like Brad’s personal “rogue” account.

But, wait, there’s also Billie Eilish who started a “secret” personal account in November 2020 and posted some fascinatingly bizarre ukulele footage, apparently just for kicks, as she surely has no need for more publicity. The account was so unique and, well, strange, that it was hard to imagine that it could be fake.

Sure enough, yesterday what appears to be an outtake from her recent music video with some hilarious captions and stickers popped up on the, mostly dormant, account and has since gone viral. All of which pretty much cements the “it’s definitely real” theory.

As for Jason Statham? We are going to go out on a limb here and say that he is following Billie Eilish’s lead and this is a real account. The fact that there is a single video with a full body dance clip of what absolutely appears to be the star is a tip-off. Secondly if this is his head deep-faked onto someone else’s body, that’s a pretty perfect body double.

Also, the original sound mix seems to indicate that there was method that went the extra mile.

What’s your take? Send us comments or your detective results and let us know if you think this is real, like we do, or if this is just some amazing wizardry at a next level of deep-fake-ness, which thousands of comment writers on TikTok seem to believe…

The Search for Justice is on and promises to have plenty of violence

The surge in film release activity, which all cinephiles welcome with open arms, comes from the need to push forward all the various productions that were previously on ice due to the pandemic.  One such movie, “Wrath of Man,” from MGM and Miramax, which will get its theatrical launch from United Artists on May 7, 2021.

The film was adapted from the 2004 French film “Le Convoyeur” also known as “Cash Truck” and follows closely to the original outline of the story. Statham plays the character Hill or “H” as nicknamed by coworkers, a seemingly cold and mysterious man working for an armored cash truck company responsible for moving millions of dollars.

Little does anyone know “H” has positioned himself as truck driver for an undercover mission to find who murdered his son. We will have to watch to see the violent surprises that result, as there will be plenty of blood spilled..


“Wrath of Man” marks the latest match up, a total of 4 films between English filmmaker Guy Ritchie and action staple Jason Statham.

In addition to Statham, he is joined by a slew of actors including: Alex Ferns, Holt McCallany, Scott Eastwood, Jeffrey Donovan, Laz Alonso, Josh Hartnett, Niamh Algar, Raúl Castillo, Post Malone, Lyne Renee, Anthony Molinari, Deobia Oparei, Tadhg Murphy, Babs Olusanmokun, Darrell D’Silva, Chris Reilly, Matthew Illesley, Rebecca Calder, Jason Wong, Alessandro Babalola, Cameron Jack, Montana Manning, Rocci Williams, Josh Cowdery, and Eve Macklin.

‘Wrath of Man’ Trailer: Jason Statham Action a la Guy Ritchie seeks to Bust Blocks in Summer Season Launch

Video

In the Director – Star pairing this marks the fourth try 

Has anyone noticed the seemingly sudden surge in new films announced and confirmed for release dates? Especially for theatrical runs? And doesn’t it feel like summer is kicking off artificially early? I guess that’s a sign of all of us wanting to kick-in the teeth of the lock-down era. Miami was just a beginning, perhaps.

Part of the reason, of course, for the sudden surge in film release activity, is the need to push forward and outward various productions that were previously on ice due to the pandemic.  One example of this phenomena is “Wrath of Man,” from MGM and Miramax, which will get its theatrical launch from United Artists on May 7. As already mentioned this is the newest, fourth match-up between English filmmaker Ritchie and action staple Jason Statham.

The first date that was set for this film was an optimistic January 15th, which just so happened to coincide with the peak of what is now being called the “third wave”, and certainly no fortuitous release date, action god or no. 

A second scheduling attempt was originally set for April 23rd until finally landing on the May 7th date. That date is traditionally one that can be a strong one for future summer blockbusters and was, luckily for “Wrath of Man” recently vacated by “Black Widow” which has been shifted by Disney to July 9th for both streaming on Disney+ and in theaters. 

Whew! Stay tuned for more updates as the changes and new confirmed releases are happening, seemingly, by the hour. Oh, and enjoy the trailer.

‘Homefront’: James Franco, Jason Statham Action film at #2 on Netflix

Video

Sometimes visiting 2013 is a cozier watch

https://movietrailers.apple.com/movies/independent/homefront/homefront-tlr1_h1080p.mov

More and more these days a search for something to enjoy on Netflix leads the the top 10 list and what others are watching and, recommending to their friends. Cause, after all, how does a movie from three, five or even eight years ago get into the top 10 or even the top 5?

You’d think it’d be not only people randomly landing on a slightly older film and checking it out for kicks, but also, after watching that they’d pass the idea along in social media or to friends “at the water cooler” that no longer exists, right?

Whatever the mysterious way that it happens, the result at the moment is this credible, decent romantic action film with James Franco and Jason Statham has ascended to nearly the top spot, at #2 as of this writing.

That’s pretty incredible, considering it was released in around 2013. I suppose it goes to show that they just don’t make ’em like they used to. Check out the trailer and see what you think.

Hobbs & Shaw Get a Good Kick-off with Thursday Opening: Official Preview Trailer

Video
https://movietrailers.apple.com/movies/universal/hobbs-and-shaw/fast-furious-presents-hobbs-and-shaw-trailer-2_h1080p.mov

Opening on August 1st and grabbing some attention this weekend, aiming for a $60 million debut, the big-budget action spin off from Fast & Furious has some work ahead…

Starring Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw it’s clear this is popcorn and top level (expensive at $200 million in production costs) Stunts and EFX, with more than a dash of comic relief.

Adding the gravitas of Idris Elba raises the overall quality of the characters, and Johnson and Statham are tried and true masters of the genre, if there is such a thing. Can entertainment be more pure? A badass duo that you can never accuse of taking itself (themselves?) too seriously. Seriously.

No need to worry about the exact plot twists or even the connection to the Fast & Furious franchise, this is pure guilty pleasure summer enjoyment, plain and simple.

Perhaps after all the cute cats we’ve all been seeing lately, a bit of fantasy testosterone might be just the thing, on a hot August night.

Basically, we are saying: check out the trailer above and if it adequately entertains, you’ll probably do no wrong in escalating yourself into a theater to take it all in.
