Shooting will starts in North Carolina on June 29th fora new action thriller Check Point, directed by Thomas J Churchill and produced by Niko and AJ Perez.
The premise:During a routine camp out, a local vagrant discovers plans for an invasion in America. When he tries to notify the local Sheriff about his discovery, the Sheriff dismisses his claims and has him locked up for loitering. When the Sheriff notices odd interactions with other towns folk he begins to look into the vagrants' claim of a sleeper cell living among the locals within this small town. After evidence of a beheading is exposed, others begin to fear that the insurgents attack on hometown USA. Questions and tempers begin to rise. Why this little beach community with it’s Norman Rockwell way of life? A town where everyone knows one another... or so they thought. When the truth is blind and justice seems lost, It will take an army of five unlikely heroes banding together to infiltrate the insurgents and foil their invasion plans. War is Hell and Hell comes home at the Check Point.
Check Point is a film likely to prove controversial with its story-line , one that feeds off the cold-war worries of films like Red Dawn... and nowadays of both those who believe that American interests are being subverted within their borders by outside forces as well as those who are concerned amateur militias and hysteria could prove just as big a problem.
The cast is full of familiar faces: Former pro-wrestler Bill Goldberg battled Jean-Claude Van Damme in Universal Soldier: The Return, William Forsythe from The Rock and most recently Boardwalk Empire, Kenny Johnson appeared in The Shield and Chicago Fire, The original 'Hammer' Fred Williamson appeared in Take a Hard Ride, Inglorious Bastards, and of course From Dusk Till Dawn, Tyler Mane starred in Rob Zombie's Halloween and was Sabertooth in the original X-Men film and the lovely but lethal Michelle Lee was in Mortal Kombat Legacy .They all bring all manner of experience, talent looks and lethal fighting ability to play on the movie.
We'll have to wait until 2016 to see if might makes right...
