Eric Jacobus in ‘Dogs of Chinatown’

All I have to say is wow. Wowie wow wow! I just received head’s up on and notice of a teaser (see below) for a new noir martial arts movie from writer-director Micah Moore and producer Blake Faucette. The title is DOGS OF CHINATOWN. The star is Eric Jacobus of The Stunt People. The action is hot.

When a war breaks out between the Italian Mafia and Chinese Triad, Boss Wu needs someone to infiltrate the Italians. Enter Jack (Jacobus), a depressed loner at the end of his rope. He is groomed into the Triad’s top assassin, a position that garners him respect and appreciation. But just when things are looking up, Jack falls for the Triad boss’ favorite mistress Jin. The star-crossed lovers soon find themselves in the crosshairs, and Jack must challenge the Mafia and the Triad to protect the woman he loves.

To many modern martial arts action fans on the net, Eric Jacobus of The Stunt People needs no introduction. He’s already proven himself to be one of America’s most talented screen fighters through a series of self-produced short films released online leading up through his feature-length indie actioner CONTOUR. Now, Jacobus looks to be moving to the next level, whether Hollywood is ready for him or not.

DOGS OF CHINATOWN co-stars Huyen Thai, Bill Oberst Jr. and Ray Carbonel. The film recently began post-production and is now being shopped at AFM through Crimson Wolf Productions. Distribution inquiries should be directed to John Rushton at rushton@criwolf.com. [minislides]
