Runaway Features are pleased to announce a picture wrap on SAS hostage thriller He Who Dares, described as a cross between The Raid and Die Hard.
Synopsis:
On Christmas Eve a group of ruthless masked terrorists kidnap the Prime Ministers daughter, fortifying themselves in an underground car park rigged with explosives. Crack SAS operative Chris Lowe and his team are sent in and must take the building one level at a time.
Paul Tanter (The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan) directs a script from GBH writer James Crow. Patrick and Anthony Maxwell produce alongside Tanter. The film stars Tom Knight (Kick Ass 2), Simon Phillips (White Collar Hooligan), Ewan Ross (Age of Heroes) and Lorraine Stanley (London To Brighton). UK release is scheduled for Christmas 2013.
Paul Tanter comments “I am very pleased to be bringing this gritty action thriller to the market. After his bad guy role in the highly anticipated Kick Ass 2, I can see Tom Knight shaping up as a star of the future and is the perfect lead as the heroic SAS Captain. Jude Poyer’s fight choreography background in Hong Kong martial arts film has brought awesome fight scenes to a very hard hitting British film.”

Civil War: The BRWC Review
Matt 16th February 2014
Google the names Simon Phillips and Paul Tanter associated with this film in conjunction with the words “accident” or “explosion” to see the reckless disregard the producers of this film had for their cast and crew. A full weight door is blown out of a doorway, narrowly missing the lead actress. The crew was not notified of the materials in use, so their (personal) equipment was not protected.
The production company keeps shutting down video posts of the explosion “for copyright reasons”, has yet to pay many of the crew, and refuses to pay for equipment damaged due to the producer’s negligence.
If the producer does not care about the health and safety of his cast and crew, he does not deserve your $ at the box office, video store, or online rental. Don’t pay producers who unnecessarily risk the lives of the people on their productions.
