This high-tension action thriller — stars Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum and was directed by Steven Soderbergh. Yet all anyone wants to talk about is the film’s lone female: Gina Carano.”

Ewan McGregor: (on Carano)That girl is a star, just you wait and see…The movie is amazing, but at the end of the day, who doesn’t like to watch a girl kicking some ass?”

Haywire trailer 2 & co-star Michael Fassbender on the fightscene

Posted by: p0d on November 10, 2011

FassbenderI remember it clearly…’She is supposed to pick up a vase and it breaks away, and the stunt guy said, ‘She’s going to grab it and hit you on the side of the head. But the one thing that’s important as she swings toward your head is you don’t look at her. You turn your head away and take the hit.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.’ Of course, Gina picked up the vase and I looked right at it. It was like a camera bulb had gone off…He(his character) makes his first maneuver on her at the door, and it should be a quick kill but it all goes wrong. And then it’s a matter of finding anything, something hard or that has a sharp edge. It’s an anything goes type thing. These fights are messy. Yeah, it was fun. A few bruises though…I suppose the life [these spies] are leading seems to be an exciting one, so there are elements of sex and death. (referring to the triangle choke) I mean, I just put my head where they tell me to.

Interview: Bullett Magazine – Gina Carano: A Knockout Both In and Out of the Ring

Posted by: p0d on November 9, 2011

Bullet Magazine’s interview with Gina Carano for the winter 2011 issue:

bulletmagazine2bulletmagazine1bulletmagazine3bulletmagazine-candid
The mixed martial arts champion is a literal knockout who wields her body like a weapon in the cage. Why, then, has Gina Carano stepped outside the ring for her acting debut, as a vengeful covert agent in Steven Soderbergh’s action-thriller Haywire (an explosive cross between La Femme Nikita and The Bourne Identity)? Two words: adrenaline rush.

BULLETT: What convinced you to give acting a shot?

GINA CARANO: When I was a little girl, I used to think, If somebody only knew what I was capable of. I didn’t even know what it was at the time, but when you dream big, you eventually attract big things. I don’t look “Hollywood,” and so I figured that if something were to come to me, it would probably come from a director asking me to be a part of their project. And that’s exactly what happened, which is really crazy. [Laughs.]

You did all of your own stunts for Haywire. Do you think that forced your co-stars—Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, and Channing Tatum—to consider you in a different light?

AFI Festival ‘Haywire’ screening and star panel: videos, pics and reviews

Posted by: p0d on November 7, 2011

The AFI fest’s secret screening took place yesterday and the film was none other than ‘Haywire’. It’s star, new action heroine Gina Carano, director Steven Soderbergh, noted actors Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender were the special guests on hand.

“…A handsome, black-haired hardbody who wears an evening dress as easily as she does a hoodie, Carano exudes the sort of self-confidence and physical wherewithal that leaves no doubt she can prevail in any situation…In this, Haywire entirely and winningly succeeds...The script makes no attempt to assert its plausibility or realism; it is, instead, refreshingly frank about what it is, a simple, workable framework for the melees and mayhem…The fine use of locations, elegantly mobile shooting style and hair-trigger editing are all in line with what one expects from Soderbergh…The director shrewdly determined what she could and perhaps couldn’t do, and she delivered with a turn that makes other actresses who have attempted such roles, no matter how toned and buff they became, look like pretenders.” – Todd McCarthy (HollywoodReporter.com)

Viacom buys Bellator, Will Start Airing on Spike TV in 2013

Posted by: Jen on November 2, 2011

bellator-mmaViacom bought a majority stake in Bellator.  Bellator which is now the #2 MMA brand will soon have shows on the Viacom owned Spike TV in 2013.

Spike TV’s current deal with the UFC gives them rights to televise taped UFC programming however they are not allowed to air any other MMA events in 2012.

The UFC may not have realized that the danger of doing a deal with FOX was it opened the door for another MMA company to join with Spike TV.   The UFC however has been competing with all sorts of MMA brands throughout the years.  The UFC enjoys high Pay-Per-View buy rates which is what has make them profitable.

Overall some healthy competition should be good for the MMA fighters and the fans.
