Kellie Madison Takes the Director's Chair in 'Never Back Down: Revolt' Available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, Tuesday, November 16, 2021.
Kellie Madison has been one of the coolest and most authentic action film enthusiast and maker we have ever met. Madison, who we first encountered on her 2016 film The Gate, continues to gain notoriety and respect in the American film industry that is almost 40 years behind China when it comes to serious, action film heroines.
Now, my old buddy and I play catch up on her latest film Never Back Down: Revolt, a new addition to the Never Back Down franchise. Where as the previous two featured Michael Jai White in them, this fourth installment now features, another Michael, former UFC Middleweight Champion, The Count, Michael Bisping as the antagonist.
In this installment Never Back Down: Revolt, centers around Anya, a woman (Olivia Popica) who is kidnapped and forced to compete in an elite underground fight ring. She must battle her way out in order to regain her freedom. However, Janek (Bisping) and Mariah (Brooke Johnston) have other plans for the fighters they are trafficking. Rounding out the cast are Diana Hoyos (2020 Best Actress winner in Colombia for Enfermeras), Nitu Chandra (The Good Maharaja, Shooter), and James Faulkner (Atomic Blonde, Paul Apostle of Christ) who add to the intensified story telling a posterior kicking action.
Madison and I discuss some of the issues that she previously faced about directing certain films, the struggle of balancing femininity and strength because of her...female attributes and how she has gained the respect of all her cast and crew on Never Back Down: Revolt. She even suffers through my weeds versus flowers analogy on the differences between athletes and artists.
