(PRWEB) July 11, 2004 -- DS Productions in partnership with Veni Vici Entertainment announce the formation of Kix Pix, a Toronto-based motion picture production company specializing in action films and multinational co-productions. Kix Pix first project, DANGEROUS DAYS for DRAGON DANCER VIGILANTES" combines martial arts and ballroom dancing with wire work and digital effects to bring a new dimension of beauty to an old genre of violence.
Bob Sapp, the Tokyo based American fighter-performer, the most popular TV celebrity in Japan, is attached to Dangerous Days in a feature role. A pundit described Bobs popularity in Japan as so high, it might be matched in America only if one combined Muhammad Ali with Elvis Presley.
The multi-racial, multi-cultural cast for DANGEROUS DAYS is headed by David Stevenson, a Canadian-born actor, singer, dancer, musician, and stunt man with African and Trinidadian roots. The story involves an African orphan adopted by a Japanese trader who is married to a Chinese woman. The boy is reared with a half-Japanese, half-Chinese sister. They become martial arts experts as well as ballroom dance champions and travel the world competing in ballroom dance competitions. When gangsters in Japan murder their parents, they devote their lives to avenging their murder, traveling the world as dancers while in secret, as The Dragon Dancer Vigilantes, pursuing and liquidating all links to the killers.
Andy Halmay, head of Veni Vici Entertainment, which is also developing the new CRTC licensed digital cable channel, The Global Village Theatre Channel, is in talks with potential co-producers for DANGEROUS DAYS in South Africa and Japan.
Kix Pix expects The Dragon Dancer Vigilantes to develop as a franchise with several sequels. Concurrently, Kix Pix has three additional action films on the drawing board to bring to the youth of the world films to fulfill the corporate slogan: Kix Pix for a fast Entertainment Fix"
These include Carters Car," a car built to function as an avenger for nerdy drivers frustrated by every conceivable road transgressor. "The Super Soccer Twins," a brother-sister team of soccer players with supernaturally powerful feet and legs; and Captain Schlemiel," a hapless, accident prone kid who becomes imbued with Superman-like powers after having some rare Tibetan chicken soup while lost in the Gobi desert on his honeymoon. He can fly faster than a speeding bullet but he still drops things, breaks things, forgets things, confuses things, falls off chairs, and matches the Keystone Cops of silent films when it comes to farce.
