Cast of never back down11/15/2022 ![]() ![]() The script for “Revolt” is completely female-empowered, and they were looking for a female writer, so they hired Audrey Arkins, and they were also looking for a female director, so they reached out to me. The “Never Back Down” series had been with Sony previously with 2 and 3, and they were gearing up to do the fourth. Well, the producers Craig Baumgarten and David Zelon came to me with the offer, they knew about my work. We’re all doing what we can to survive it! Well let’s dive right into “Never Back Down 4: Revolt”. How Kellie got Involved in “Never Back Down 4: Revolt” Michael Bisping will take on villainous duties in Never Back Down 4 Revoltīollywood actress Neetu Chandra stars in NBD 4 And the apocalypse has been pretty good for me! Hi Kellie, welcome back to Kung Fu Kingdom! Great to connect with you and we hope you’re keeping well during the pandemic? She also gives us insights into other projects she has coming up, including a possible “Never Back Down 5”! Today, Kellie sits down with KFK to share a look behind-the-scenes at the making of “Never Back Down 4: Revolt”, from the demanding martial-arts action infused into it, to the challenges of making an MMA movie under the filmmaking safety protocols of the pandemic. For “Revolt”, Kellie and her cast dealt with all of the usual bumps and bruises inherent in action filmmaking, with the added challenge of having to work around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.įortunately, with everyone’s determined spirit, Kellie’s leadership, and the lighthearted presence of MMA great, Michael “The Count” Bisping, “Revolt” made it to the finish line, with fans of the series now eager to see it drop. Having worked both in front of, and behind the camera, Kellie first came to the attention of action fans with her 2016 action short “The Gate”. His decision will not just settle a score it will define who he is.The “Never Back Down” series first kicked off in 2008, and true to its title, it always returns for another beatdown in the Octagon! Continuing with “ Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown ” in 2011, and later with “ Never Back Down: No Surrender ” in 2016, the franchise is set to jump into its fourth chapter with the upcoming “Never Back Down 4: Revolt”, with filmmaker Kellie Madison stepping into the director’s chair. For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory. ![]() Roqua will take Jake under his wing, but it is up to Jake to find the patience, discipline, willingness and reason within him to succeed. It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master. He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with his mentor, Jean Roqua (played by Djimon Hounsou). While he is defeated and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Making an attempt to fit in, at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Baja (Amber Heard), Jake goes to a party where he is unwittingly pulled into a fight with a bully named Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet). Jake was a star athlete on the football team at home, but in this new city he is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler. He has recently moved to Orlando, Florida with his family to support his younger brother’s shot at a professional tennis career. Jake Tyler’s (Sean Faris) the new kid in town with a troubled past. But before getting the interview, here’s the synopsis of “Never Back Down” and a link to the movie clips I already posted. Since you all know how I interview people…you can assume correctly that I got Cam to talk about all of these projects. I actually asked Cam during the interview if he tried to work in any Cobra Kai…Īnyway, the reason I believe Cam is on the verge of being a face you’ll remember is not only is he one of the leads in “Never Back Down,” but he’s also playing an evil vampire in “Twilight” and he’s in the next David Goyer movie “Unborn.” And in “Never Back Down,” Cam Gigandet channels his inner William Zabka to play his part. While all of the leads have roles in other films, if “Never Back Down” ends up doing well, this’ll be the first film that people remember them from.Īt any rate, since a lot of you probably haven’t heard of the movie yet, “Never Back Down” is essentially a MMA version of “Karate Kid.” Obviously they aren’t exactly the same movies, but they have a lot of the same archetype characters. I think in a few years, people will look back on “Never Back Down” as the starting point for a lot of the young cast. ![]()
