Antonio Banderas is ready to go three for three with his creative collaboration with Ambi Media Group, the production company headed up by Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi.
That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that after working together on both Black Butterfly and the Andrea Bocelli biopic The Music of Silence – two projects currently brewing in post-production – Banderas has signed on for Beyond the Edge, a new action-thriller to be directed by Aleksandr Boguslavskiy.
Moviegoers have become accustomed to the Spanish great headlining one drama after the next, but Banderas has dabbled in the action genre before, most recently for Sylvester Stallone’s bonkers Expendables franchise – a series that will purportedly continue with a fourth and final installment. This time around, the actor will assume the role of a deft master of fraud, with the early logline teasing what’s in store for Antonio Banderas’ protagonist.

Sir Edmund Hillary's conquest of Mount Everest with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay suggests a different era entirely, one in which the map still had soft edges and major scientific discovery still conferred some measure of celebrity. Small wonder, then that filmmakers Leanne Pooley and Matthew Metcalfe would want to retell that story (even if they have to give it a Mountain Dew-approved extreme sports title) and evoke the reverence that the accomplishment merits. Beyond The Edge is not lacking for reverence, but as with so many "great men" biopics, the presentation is considerably less exciting than the subject matter.

To mark the release of Beyond the Edge on 14th July, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on DVD.
In 1953, the ascent of Everest remained the last of Earth’s great challenges. Standing at over 29,000ft, the world’s highest mountain posed a fearsome challenge and had already claimed thirteen lives in previous expeditions. Faced with treacherous winds, sub-zero temperatures and battling altitude sickness, the British expedition team members Sir Edmund Hillary, a modest beekeeper from Auckland, and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced mountain Sherpa, finally achieved the impossible and became the first men to stand atop Everest. News of their conquest was announced on June 2 1953 as Queen Elizabeth II prepared for her Coronation.
Both a classic triumph of the underdog story and a gripping, cinematic experience, Beyond The Edge is a tale of human endurance, tenacity and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Following its world premiere at Toronto,...

If you're in one of those places right now that's getting beaten down with the summer heat, the upcoming documentary "Beyond The Edge" might be a good visual cool-down. It will take you to the chilly heights of Mount Everest, all in 3D, and telling you the true story of one of the greatest expeditions to one of the world's most notorious peaks. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set out to conquer the 29,000 foot world wonder in order to become the first men to put their feet on the top of Everest. And director Leanne Pooley re-enacts this tale, mixing contemporary and archival footage, recordings, vintage interviews and much more, to present a portrait of the historic climb. And as you'll see in this exclusive clip, Hillary and Norgay's journey was a treacherous one, with risks and dangers facing them almost every step of the way. "Beyond The Edge" opens on Friday,...

We're used to sweeping vistas of Everest, crevasses blue at the bottom with chill and shadow. If it would have been a surprise at the beginning of Beyond the Edge for the narrator to announce that “above 20,000 feet [on Everest's highest slope] is what we call the death zone, because you are slowly dying,” then by the time he does, two-thirds of the way through Leanne Pooley's documentary about Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay's 1953 ascent, it is no longer. What's surprising is the miniscule, the mundane—and the relationship between the two men. Before he became famous as a mountaineer, Hillary was a beekeeper, explorer and Rnzaf navigator. Like any other well-to-do post-war New Zealander, he spent a great deal of time in twill and well-man...

This is the @puremovies review of Beyond The Edge, directed by Leanne Pooley and starring Chad Moffitt. The latest cinematic retelling of Colonel John Hunt's successful 1953 expedition is an ambitious combination of period recordings, dramatic staged scenes from the Southern Alps, new footage from mountaineer-cameraman Mark Whetu's recent journey to the top, with logistical and geographic animations throughout. Unfortunately the consequence is an unsettling mutant snowscape, which lacks the ability to support enough insightful depth to create any enduring pertinence. This time-worn story is retold without meaningful probing, fresh technical disclosure and with the warmth to match the mountain itself. Sir Edmund Hillary, formidable Kiwi beekeeper-cum-superhero, is played by the largely silent (and large - 192cm) Chad Moffitt. While it's quite gratifying to watch him stride across the snow to the unbridled feist of the soundtrack, it doesn't fill the cavernous personality-shaped lacuna which stretches the length of the film.

Beyond The Edge is a tale of insurmountable odds. As a documentary recounting the 1953 expedition to the tip of Mount Everest, which saw Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Tenzing Norgay become the first to reach its summit, it takes quotes collected from the years since the journey and blends them with dramatic reconstructions of key points in their story. Reenactment has almost become an artform in its own right within the documentary format; in showing us something constructed as artifice, we’re given a rare chance to glean the truth. But it’s not as old as you’d think. So where did the trend originate from? How has it impacted how we make and – more importantly – watch documentaries?
The popularisation of reenactment can easily be traced back to 1988, when Errol Morris’ The Thin Blue Line first wowed audiences and critics. The film revisited a murder case from 1976, in which Randall Adams...

★★☆☆☆The most recent in a spate of mountaineering documentaries that have attempted to traverse the UK theatrical and home entertainment market of late (from the compelling The Epic of Everest to the misconceived The Summit), Beyond the Edge (2013) is the first to utilise 3D stereoscopy for its storytelling needs. An uneven and frustratingly assembled reconstruction of Sir Edmund Hillary's historic 1953 Everest climb, Kiwi director Leanne Pooley demonstrates plenty of reverence for her subject and his Nepalese Sherpa companion Tenzing Norgay, but does become something of a laborious trek for anyone not enraptured by Everest or its collection of intrepid would-be conquerors.

One year on from Shackleton’s Captain, documentarian Leanne Poole’s gaze remained within a similar frozen and inhospitable sphere of big adventure as she turned her gaze to the story of the expedition that successfully ascended to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953.
Ahead of the theatrical release HeyUGuys had the opportunity to speak with Leanne about her reasons for tackling this story now, the challenges of bringing Beyond the Edge to the screen, and creating a geographical and historical journey for her audience. She also shared with us her thoughts on both her identity as a filmmaker as well as the pursuit and realisation of stories within the documentary genre.
Why a career in filmmaking? Was there that one inspirational moment?

Despite hinting at an Anglo-centric core, it soon becomes apparent that Beyond The Edge is a documentary-film about Edmund Hillary’s achievements as a mountaineer rather than Britain’s post-war achievements as an intrepid, all-conquering nation. The British Colony’s ‘last hurrah’ – as it was contemporaneously touted – was fulfilled by Kiwi and a Nepalese Sherpa.
Comprising stock footage, voice over work and cinematic scenes that feature silent actors, this documentary-cum-drama finds its pace as the expedition moves into its more critical stages. Of course, the higher Hillary (Chad Moffitt) and Tenzing (Sonam Sherpa) climbed, the less stock footage there was.
This is perhaps the film’s biggest downfall. While the balance between the old, grainy footage and the gleaming, high-definition shots was neat towards the start, it invariably swayed towards the contemporary as we reached the summit, and while this could have been an effective visual device, heightening the tension...

Sixty years ago, the 29,000-foot peak remained one of Earth’s greatest unconquered landmarks and had already claimed thirteen lives in previous ascent attempts. But after methodical team selection and training methods, British expedition member Edmund Hillary, a 33-year-old beekeeper, and brave mountain Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became partners on a dangerous challenge against the elements and fear.
Despite risking their lives with nascent technology and the ever-increasing threat of altitude sickness, the pair became the first men ever to stand atop the great peak, with their conquest announced in June 1953, in the days preceding the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
The most successful documentary of all time in New Zealand, it’s not just a visually splendid piece but also a stirring meditation on human endurance, bravery and the indomitable will of nature.

The 3D team, which shot Avatar, set out on location to Everest for eight weeks, to recreate the epic tale of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s conquest of Mt. Everest in 1953. The new footage has been merged with film and photographs of the 1953 expedition taken by Lowe and cleaned up, and retro-fitted into 3D – in the exact same way James Cameron converted his film Titanic. The result in merging the footage is seamless. The film is directed by Canadian-born filmmaker Leanne Pooley, who has directed over twenty features, including the documentaries Haunting Douglas, The Promise, Try Revolution, and Shackleton’s Captain. Her documentary The Topp Twins – Untouchable Girls won the People’s Choice Documentary Award at the Festival. Beyond The Edge will have its first screening at Tiff on Friday, September 6th and will be seeking distribution. Watch the first trailer below.
