Russia's Action Superstar in Man of East

This is one of those fun little trailers for a movie you'll probably never see. It's for a Russian film called Man of East aka Invincible aka Nepobedimyy aka badass Russian action hero movie. This is essentially a film about Russia's version of James Bond or even John McClane - some guy named Vladimir Yepifantsev who is a huge Russian action star. I don't even really know what to say about the story in this, because it's all in Russian, but I just know that I suggest everyone check it out, as it's pretty badass. And if you're bored by the first half, don't worry, the last half picks up quite a damn bit - cars, guns, sunglasses, and all!

Watch the foreign trailer for Man of East:

Man of East is both written and directed by Oleg Pogodin, of a few previous Russian films, including The Red One: Triumph. Man of East will hit theaters in Russia starting on October 23rd, but it doesn't have a US distributor and won't be showing up over here for quite a while. The poster is featured below.

This looks to be Funny but kickass. Kinda Transporter feel to it. The poster looks awesome. I would love to see this make it to the states.

almighty, do you think it has a transporter feel because it has a near identical poster?

The style, music, and tongue-in-cheek wit made me feel like I was watching a Russian Guy Ritchie direct the latest Quantum of Solace trailers.
Darrin

Vladimir Yepifantsev used to be a really cool dude. In the post-USSR era he had a late night TV show called "Drema" - they would play music videos by Aphex Twin, Laibach, Diamanda Dalas and like and in between the vlips they'd read and reenact some really messed up stories often written by him, really messed up dark humor with a lot of fake blood - Dario Argento style stuff. They would record the show in one of the Moscow's strip clubs and have strippers dance in the backglound to some messed up industrial music or even Kraftwerk. He would also read out loud some children books in the same setting. Super weird show - really good - they got shut down after a half a year or so. Then he started to direct some theater plays. Really brutal. He made his version of Macbeth (if my memory serves me right). Got famous for epatage on stage. Like this video he made - thats a spoof on Tide commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhzpe7QxlGw And now he wants money and fame (dont we all) - and star in this kind of crap. I bet he loves it.

the poster is almost 90% the transporter poster... except for the car he drives, he's more mcclain than bond... for the action, i'll take a peek on this one.
