Michael Jai White and Sony bring ‘Blood and Bone’

With Sundance just about to hit Park City, Sony snatched up the North American rights to the undergrund fighting drama ‘Blood and Bone’ starring Michael Jai White. The film was directed by Ben Ramsey (Love and a Bullet) and the cast includes Eamonn Walker, Julian Sands, Nona Gay and Kimbo Slice.

Story centers on an ex-con (Michael Jai White) who takes the underground fighting world by storm in his quest to fulfill a promise to a dead friend. Michael Andrews penned the screenplay.

Sure, the story sounds a bit like ‘Bloodsport’ but I think it may still have something to look forward to… that something is Michael Jai White. After all, White is a bad ass who actually knows, and practices multiple martial arts — Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, Kobuo, Goju Ryu, Tang Soo Do, Wushu and Kyokushin. Yeah, you tell him his movie sucks…
