Patrick Ewald Announces Epic Pictures Group acquires Parkour Skills
(1888PressRelease) Patrick Ewald, There is nothing quite like this film in the market. When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew that this was a really special movie.
Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA – Epic Pictures Group has just closed an acquisition of the Swedish parkour action film, SKILLS, directed by Johannes Pinter. Deal was negotiated directly between the producer of Timelock films, Tomas Amlov, and Epic Pictures Group CEO, Patrick Ewald.
SKILLS is a teen-action-drama that focuses on a various action sports such as parkour, skateboard, street dance and martial arts. The target audiences are teenagers and adults who like action films in general and action sports in particular.
According to Wikipedia: Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK), also parcours, or l’art du déplacement (1) (English: the art of displacement) is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one’s path by adapting one’s movements to the environment.(2) It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible. Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed. The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one’s environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails. The term freerunning is sometimes used interchangeably with parkour.
Many people recognize the parkour style from the opening chase scene from James Bond’s Casino Royale.
Currently shooting, film will be completed after Cannes. Epic Pictures will be showing buyers a trailer cut from the rough footage.
“There is nothing quite like this film in the market. When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew that this was a really special movie. I am a huge fan of parkour and I find it one of the most exciting and thrilling urban sports. It is like looking a tightrope walker at 100 times the speed.” says Patrick Ewald, CEO of Epic Pictures Group.
The movie stars one of the world’s leading parkour-artists, Swedish Marcus Gustafsson, as well as one of Sweden’s greatest female skateboarders, My Magnusson. Martial artist Tim Man, seen in ONG BAK 2 and STREETFIGHTER: LEGEND OF CHUN LI, is also included in the cast. Director Johannes Pinter has previously directed the horror film SLEEPWALKER.
Timelock Film AB is a small Swedish production company focusing on development and production of feature films, in the comedy-, drama- and action genre, targeting the young audience. We also provide post production and script consultant services for TV- and feature film production. The company was founded in 2001 and has a background as vast background in producing shorts. The short/novella-film “THE OTHER SIDE” won the Swedish Filminstitute Award 2003, and participated in competition in Locarno.
Skills synopsis: Kelvin is an average teenager struggling with his loyalty to his friends, conflicts with his father, and practicing his main interest in life – parkour. After his father is shot and ends up in a coma during a police case, Kelvin starts his own search for the perpetrator. Kelvin soon finds an underground world of sub cultures with their own rules. Kelvin is forced into a violent battle of skills in an urban gladiator game. A game that not only forces him to stretch his parkour talents, but also questions his moral boundaries – how far is he willing to go for family and friends?
Writer/Director – Johannes Pinter: Debuted with the dark thriller “Sleepwalker” in 2000. The feature won the New Blood Award in the French thriller film festival in Cognac, and was nominated for Best Movie in the Sitges International Film festival in Spain. Oscar winning producer Mark Johnson (“Rain man”, “Narnia”) picked up the American remake rights for “Sleepwalker”. As a writer, he penned two versions (uncredited) for the American actioner “Pathfinder” directed by Marcus Nispel. His latest writing job was the adaptation of the Swedish bestselling novel “Odjuret” (“The Beast”) by authors Roslund and Hellstrom (“Box 21″). Pinter is also an editor, with several features under his belt from countries like Norway, Ireland, Bulgaria and of course Sweden. He is one of Scandinavia’s most renowned trailer producers. Among the titles with trailers signed Pinter is Swedish “Let the right one in”, “Arn – the knights templar” and several “Wallander” movies, as well as Danish “Flame and Citron”, Russian action-thriller “Newsmakers”, Norwegian blockbusters “Max Manus” and “Kautokeino”, and horror franchise “Fritt vilt” (“Cold prey”). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0750259
Producer – Tomas Amlöv – 35 years old computer-geek retrained as a movie-producer. Among the films I produced is THE OTHER SIDE that highlighted the Swedish immigration policy and won the Swedish Film Institute, short-/novellofilm award in 2003 as well as participated in competition in Locarno international film festival.
DoP, Ola Magnestam: Constantly engaged cinematographer of TV- and short films. The images for the 2009 student-Oscar winner ELKLAND are one of many strong feats. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1327520/

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
