Kicky Clips from the 'District B13' Sequel!
Filed under: Action, Foreign Language, Remakes and Sequels
Just yesterday I was inspired to write "Everyone should watch District B13" on my Facebook page, and then I watched the dang movie AGAIN! Basically I think it's one of the most entertaining action flicks of the past ten years, so when I came across THIS PIECE during my regular Twitch-surfing, I got very excited indeed. Looks like District B13: Ultimatum will reunite the amazing ass-kickers known as David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli; Luc Besson is on solo screenwriting duty; and the director is a Frenchman namd Patrick Alessandrin.No solid word yet on when D-B13:U will be completed (or even who'll be distributing in this part of the globe, athough Magnolia did a fine job with the first flick), but if you spend a few minutes at Twitch then you'll find four behind-the-scenes clips to flicker through. (The most recent one is the coolest, and it's the one I've embedded below.) And then after the jump, a bonus that just never gets old. (Previous reports on this movie can be found here and here.)

David Belle is the man. I've never seen a human being that so closely resembled a Super-Hero... Speaking of which, it's becoming quite popular to put Parkour in action movies these days and I'm all for it... I can't get enough of the stuff but you know who I think would benefit from a Free Running Upgrade the most? Daredevil.
Now, I liked the original a lot and I flat out loved the Director's Cut. It's probably one of my top five favorite Superhero flicks, (as unpopluar as that statement it apt to make me) so I would love to see a sequel.
That said, I'm not a TOTAL moron and that little bit of common sense I do possess tells me that is never going to happen... But Marvel seems all too happy to reboot any less then successful attempts they have made in the past and so I hope and pray that The Man Without Fear gets another shot at the big screen... And when and if he does, I think this is the type of action they should include in the film. Parkour is perfectly suited to his abilites and even more so to Hell's Kitchen. I even heard on this very websight that Jason Statham is eager to don the horns, He's pals with these cats and in great physical shape, I bet he could pull it off. That said, I would just kill to see Belle or Raffaelli or any of those Traceurs pull stunt duty. (Incidently, Raffaelli has doubled for Statham before, right? It's perfect)
But enough about that... I gotta see these clips. Thank's for the head's up, Scott.

It had better kick as much ass as the first one.
