I ran across info on this film over at Guro Inosanto's website. IMDB has a page started and will probably feature updates as they arrive.

The original script had the main guy being a speical ops fighting under ground fights after returning home from the war. Hes pressed into fighting ufc mma for some bad guys and starts kicking ass. That was all that was reviled. but sounds like they changed the script and added Tim Allen hmmm he kicked ass in Galaxy Quest doing a great James T Kirk inpression. But A man that trains MMA I don't think so. Sorry geeked out there for a few :lol:Also if the fights are good I line up and watch it.e

Hi Marc & Cindy,

Yes, Marc, Guro is working with David Mamet. David is a really nice guy and good friend.

Guro is the Grandmaster, the "Redbelt."
Love,
Paula

One of my favorite films. Everything is so understated. It's very well done.

I think it was on Extra play him quite a compliment about training him and making sure he had the look and the feel of his role down pat. This is where David Mamet and Eric Haney started to create the Unit for CBS.I hope that this upcoming film rocks and pumped up about Guro Inosantos involvement this will be something to see.
