RedBelt

Prophet your favorite Teruo representative reporting live from the Egyptian theatre in Hollywood for the premier of a Mixed Martial Arts film titled “Red Belt”.With an all star MMA cast like Randy Couture, John Machado, Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini, Max Martini and acting anchors such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Paymer it was deff interesting.

The story…
Redbelt is an upcoming action movie written and directed by David Mamet. As of July 2007, the film is in production, with many of the action sequences being filmed at the Pyramid in Long Beach. The film will be released in the USA on May 9, 2008.
The film concerns Mike Terry (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and self-defense instructor who imparts upon his students the skills to survive on the street, rather than prevail in sports combat. A series of circumstances brings Terry in contact with popular movie hero Chet Frank (Tim Allen) and a legion of Hollywood movers and shakers. Terry soon finds himself the victim of a con and, combined with a destitute financial situation, is pressed to enter the ring for pride and profit.
Mamet, himself a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and UFC aficionado, has described Redbelt as a samurai film in the tradition of Kurosawa 1. He has employed the resources of several members of the MMA community in the making of the film; Randy Couture and Enson Inoue have acting roles in the film, as does Jean Jacques Machado's brother John Machado who also planned some of the fight choreography.
David Mamet has earned the rank of purple belt under the tutelage of Renato Magno, who also served as the film's jiu-jitsu consultant.

Ok so the movie was on medium status it was more drama than action. I needed to see a few more arm bars for me to really respect this joint. The fact that I was Muchado and family’s guest means that that’s as much criticism I’m gonna give.lol

The best part of this premier was the old school low budget food services. They had carnival style hot dogs,pretzels and cookie stands. The red bull sponsored full bars deff didn’t hurt though ya dig.lol

Shout out to Kene G for the behind the scenes access. yeee
