Former Mma star Gina Carano, who rose to fame following her starring role in Steven Soderbergh’s 2011 action-thriller film Haywire – although she had previously appeared in low-budget actioner Blood and Bone alongside Michael Jai White – returns to the action genre, and a leading role, with In the Blood, the latest film from actor/director John Stockwell (Cheaters, Crazy/Beautiful).
In the Blood sees Ava (Carano) and Derek (Gigandet), a newly married couple, honeymooning in the Caribbean who are befriended by a local hustler, Manny (Cordova), who talks them into going to a night club where they get into a fight with the locals. The next day, whilst out zip-lining with Manny, Derek gets into an accident and is taken to hospital. However when Ava shows up looking for her husband,...

Gina Carano is the only selling point that In the Blood, a predictable yet enjoyable action flick from Into the Blue helmer John Stockwell, really needs. After all, a hero who’s charismatic, easy on the eyes and capable of kicking some serious ass is hard to come by. Carano fits the bill quite nicely, and she’s the sole reason that action aficionados will (and should) check out In the Blood.
Starring as Ava, a newlywed with a rough past who goes on the hunt for her husband (Cam Giganet) after he disappears following a zip-lining accident on their Caribbean honeymoon, Carano gets her first real opportunity to prove herself as a leading lady (I’d argue that Soderbergh’s touch in Haywire made the film more about him than her). Luckily for In the Blood, there’s more to the actress than just her fists. Though the film’s script,...

Blood Crush: Stockwell Returns to Exotic Paradise for B Movie Thrills
Considering that In the Blood was scripted by James Robert Johnston (The Howling Reborn; Joy Ride 2) and Bennett Yellin (Dumb & Dumber films) plus directed by actor/director John Stockwell, you might be surprised at how competently structured it is, even as it operates solely on the fumes of generic derivatives, plumbing the depths of any number of B action film tropes. Cashing in on Gina Carano’s headlining presence, it can’t quite manage to escape feeling like the poor man’s version of Haywire 2, though an intriguing supporting cast distracts from the silliness of it all as it glides along to a truncated denouement.
Opening with Ava’s (Gina Carano) narration about how her father turned her into a brutal killing machine and how she remembered his death, a scene of brutal violence segues to 12 years later in Arlington,...

Danny Trejo (Machete) and Stephen Lang (Avatar) are in negotiations to join Gina Carano (Haywire) in a new action thriller called In the Blood. The movie is being directed by John Stockwell from a script witten by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston and then polished by Sean Finnegan and Gregg Parker.
The movie was set up for Mma champion Carano, and the story centers "on a wife whose husband disappears while they are vacationing in the Caribbean. The grieving wife passionately and recklessly pursues the men she believes kidnapped and killed him." So it's like Taken, but the badass character is a woman. According to THR, Lang will play Carano’s father, "who raised her to be skillfully self-sufficient and brutally tough." Trejo will play a thug named Big Biz who will face off against Carano.

Although Steven Soderbergh's Haywire has essentially bombed at the box office, earning $18 million on a $23 million budget, it looks like Gina Carano may still have a career ahead of her as an movie star, albeit not an A-list one. The former Mma fighter will be receiving the inaugural Chick Norris Award at this year's ActionFest for Best Female Action Star of the year, and now it has been announced that she will also be starring in a new movie for director John Stockwell (Blue Crush). The movie is called In the Blood, and it is described as an action-thriller in the vein of Taken. The plot synopsis is as follows: "Blood is set in motion when a husband disappears while vacationing in the Caribbean with his wife, to be played by Carano.

The recent action movie Haywire hasn't fared as well at the box office as it did with critics (though it has made back its budget), but its star, Mma fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano, has already lined up another action project.
THR reports that Carano has joined the cast of the action-thriller In the Blood for director John Stockwell (Blue Crush, the upcoming Dark Tide). Carano will play a wife whose husband disappears while vacationing in the Caribbean, so she recklessly pursues the men she thinks are responsible. "This role will showcase not only Gina’s fighting skills, but also her acting abilities as her character struggles to reign in her violent past," said Stockwell.
In the Blood was written by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston (Joy Ride 2). Production is set to start in Puerto Rico in early spring or summer. Carano's Haywire stunt team is in discussions to reteam with her on In the Blood.

The critical reception for Steven Soderbergh’s “Haywire”, which sees Mma star Gina Carano make her debut acting performance as Mallory, has been generally very positive, with no less esteemed a critic than Dr Mark Kermode declaring it his movie of the week on its release. Carano has been much-lauded as well, managing to convince in the acting scenes as well as when kicking Michael Fassbender and Channing Tatum in their pretty heads.
It is good to hear therefore that Carano seems to have landed herself a follow-up role, this time in “In The Blood”, an action thriller to be helmed by John Stockwell, who has previously given us Crazy/Beautiful and Into the Blue. In The Blood will see Carano playing a grieving widow, whose husband is kidnapped and killed while they are on a cruise and who goes off in search of those she believes to be responsible.

Much of Haywire’s strength lied withing Gina Carano’s ability to kick the male cast’s ass. Carano’s acting ability was another issue. So while the movie itself couldn’t be as explosive at the box office as Carano’s fighting, the actress will get another chance to throw some punches in a new actioner titled In the Blood. The movie will follow Carano’s character a wife, who sets out to find her husband, when he is kidnapped by pirates while the two are vacationing.
The movie seems to be in the same vein of Taken, but rather than have Liam Neeson take the lead its Gina Carano who takes the generally male dominated role of kicking ass. Which is perfectly okay by me. According to THR, John Stockwell (Into the Blue, Blue Crush) will direct Into the Blood, using a script by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston...

Though Steven Soderbergh's Haywire failed to catch fire at the box office, everyone agreed that debuting star Gina Carano established herself as a force to be reckoned with. And now the former Mma fighter will star in the action-thriller In the Blood, according to The Hollywood Reporter. John Stockwell is set to direct. Stockwell, himself a former full-time actor who first sat in the director's chair for 1987's Under Cover, parlayed the success of 2001's teen romance Crazy/Beautiful into a pretty decent career as the helmer of Blue Crush, Into the Blue, and Turistas. None of those are particularly original, but they show a distinctive flair for mainstream entertainment, even when the script lets them down.

While audiences may not have flocked to it (their loss), Gina Carano proved in "Haywire" that she could be a compelling on-screen presence and one helluva of an action leading lady, a nice place to be, particularly when the industry has so few women in that role. And while we're unlikely to get any further adventures involving Mallory Kane, Carano has been recruited to crack some more skulls. The Mma fighter will continue her movie career by starring in the action thriller "In The Blood." Penned by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston (the pair who brought you "Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead"), the story is said to be in the vein of "Taken" (of course), and will follow a woman who is vacationing in the Caribbean with her husband, when he suddenly disappears. She then goes on the warpath seeking vengeance against the men who she belives kidnapped and killed him.

Oh what a difference a hit movie makes.
After making her feature film debut with Steven Soderbergh's "Haywire" last month, former Mma star Gina Carano has signed on to star in John Stockwell's "In the Blood."
The action thriller follows a husband who disappears while vacationing in the Caribbean with his wife (Carano). But this lady is no damsel in distress — the grieving wife passionately and recklessly pursues the men whom she believes kidnapped and killed him.
Penned by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston, the story is being described as in the vein of "Taken," The Hollywood Reporter reveals. Sounds good to us.
The director explains, "This role will showcase not only Gina's fighting skills, but also her acting abilities as her character struggles to reign in her violent past."
In addition to Carano, 8711, the stunt team responsible for "Haywire"'s killer action sequences, is also in talks to join this go-round.
After making her feature film debut with Steven Soderbergh's "Haywire" last month, former Mma star Gina Carano has signed on to star in John Stockwell's "In the Blood."
The action thriller follows a husband who disappears while vacationing in the Caribbean with his wife (Carano). But this lady is no damsel in distress — the grieving wife passionately and recklessly pursues the men whom she believes kidnapped and killed him.
Penned by Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston, the story is being described as in the vein of "Taken," The Hollywood Reporter reveals. Sounds good to us.

Director: Joe Nimziki.
Writers: Joe Nimziki, and James Robert Johnston.
Cast: Landon Liboiron, Ivana Milicevic and Lindsey Shaw
DVD Release Date: October 18th, 2011.
The Howling: Reborn does nothing to reinvigorate the dying werewolf genre. They have sadly become a creature of romance fiction, representing unbridled passions and carnal desires. In folklore they can be people who are paying penance for their sins or simple country folk cursed by gypsies. These were creatures that were once feared.
In the films of today, they are merely representations of kinship and they exude a different kind of sexuality that not even Dracula could emulate. It is not just a gang war where the leaders are vying for the affections of a girl. The romantic angle can hardly be avoided, and for those fans of Twilight, they may like this film. It cleverly blends the "Smallville" formula with shades of Harry Potter. There is romance,...

The Howling: Reborn marks the eighth instalment in the series that all began with a little horror film, based on a novel by Gary Brandner and directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Hole), that showcased some fantastic make up work with some amusing tongue-in-cheek humour. Now, I’m no expert on the following entries into the franchise – I’ve only caught Howling III, and that just so happens to be one of the worst film’s I’ve ever seen - but a reboot of the series had me intrigued.
It had been a good while since I saw a terrific werewolf film – the last great one was 2002’s Dog Soldiers – so I decided to check this one out.
The end of high school is just around the corner and Will Kidman (Landon Liboiron) is still figuring out how to approach his long-time secret crush,...
