Sadiq & Co. | Career, Relationship or Family?

SYIKIN
No! No. You pilih. Mana satu? Your career? Atau your family?

SYIKIN
Good life apa kalau I kena makan sorang-sorang, shopping sorang-sorang, tidur sorang-sorang? You nak mewah. Macamlah kita kebulur kalau you tak buat overtime shift!

Janin | Habis Pengambaran

Alhamdullilah, filem Janin sudah pun selesai pengambaran di Melaka. Sudah 3 minggu rasa nya. Pada mulanya tak sabar nak beraksi depan camera, pertengahan produksi pulak tak sabar nak habis, akhir produksi "Dah nak habis ke? " Nak buat camne dah habis! wrap! Jom baling tepung!!! Itulah suasana nya. Sebab semua cast & crew stress. Have fun! Enjoy! Dah Haaabis....

4 minggu merupakan pegambaraan yang penuh cabaran dan dugaan di tempuhi. Shooting bulan ramadan (alhamdullilah lah sebab banyak setan kena kurung) selamat lah sket insya-allah.

Pelbagai aksi-aksi lari dalam hutan tgh malam, jumpa toyol kat hutan lagi, dengan special effects Ella Sandera, berdarah-darah eh jap..berlumuran darah-darah. Seronok mmg seronok, kerja tetap kerja. Jadi tunggulah tahun 2009 biler Grand Brilliance releasekan date di layar perak.

Nervous? Selagi tak habis kuar wayang, memang nervous. Apa sebab? Lakonan? Jalan cerita? Tapi saya percaya director Yeop mampu menghasilkan yang terbaik. Oh yeah, jangan lupa saksikan filem arahan pertama Yeop Hitler Zami, Dunia Baru The Movie.

Nak tgk gambar? Nah Galeri gambar-gambar bersama artis-artis Janin di Melaka.

Sape jer yang berlakon dalam filem nih. Macam banyak orang baru jer? Ramai yang baru dan yang veteran. Hairi Othman and Eja leading, Pak Uda (Zami Ismail), Kuswadinata, Ghazali Buyong, Zulkifli Zain, Kisma Johar ... Yang baru pula, Riz Ainuddin, Alak, Amir Farhan, Fikhree, Yasmin Isa, Fynn Jamal (Yang dalam Anak Pontianak tuh), Rahilla.

Semoga filem nih meletup. ;)

MagiX | Episode 4 | Artis Jemputan

The embed option in NTV7's flash application is not working. How annoying. Hope they are fixing it. Been trying and trying to embed an episode here in blogger and it seems not to be loading.

It's great to see some new content...video content on NTV's website. If you miss my episode of MagiX where Ezat had to catch the paint bullet with his mouth. Then you gotta check this clip out. Enjoy

MagiX | Ezat De Zid

In March I posted a brief introduction of a friend, fellow talent and aspiring magician of KL Motion Pictures, Ezat De Zid. 7 months passed, MagiX, made it's debut on NTV7 tonight at 830pm (Thursday 6 Sept) featuring the man himself as host and magician, Ezat De Zid.

Great selection of sounds with Pop Shuvit introducing the opening theme song with "Pumped Up The Stereo". Few local acts made feature sounds such as Nice Stupid Playground with "Who & Two", The Otherside Orchestra with "Healing Gravity" (a favorite of mine from this episode) and Pop Shuvit again with "Pumped". I manage to speak to the line producer, Kai and he said to expect more sounds to be injected in this season from local acts. Great job man. Keep supporting local acts.

In episode 3, I was invited as guest artist. The task? Ezat will try to catch a signed paintball bullet from my paintgun. Catch? For real? Yeah catch ...with his mouth. We stood at least 20 meters apart. At first I got abit worried, as I have been hit at close range before. The pain is agonizing, and I'm expected to shoot Ezat. Whateverlah! He ask for it. *shooot*

You guys gotta see it on TV next week (20 Sept) to believe it. I was left stunned. He caught it. ;

Janin | Riz Ainuddin as Khir

Life's as a talent can be hectic at times..well, most of the time. Especially if you're not JUST a talent, I've gotta juggle time between family, business, makan sessions with the friedchillies crew and photography assignments. If you haven't seen my porfolio yet. Check out my collection of photography from my travels to food.

It's been nearly coming to three (3) months I have not trim nor cut my hair which I normally do every three weeks or so. Subsequently, I've kept a beard and mustache aka Jambang among us Malays. Lol! I never look so mess-up! and unshaven. Occasionaly, when I can't take it any longer, I just had to clip it off with my trusted clippers. Ok! Now I feel a bit more decent.

Why doing this? Actually, I'm visualizing my character as a villlage fisherman name Khir in my new upcoming Grand Brilliance and KL Motion Pictures film Janin written by Wan Hasliza and directed by Hitler Zami. He recently finished shooting for Dunia Baru The Movie.

Janin will be hit, I can feel it. The story is so strong yet subtle yet so emotionally attached. I was totally moved after reading the script. It's a story about a female Toyol.

Toyol? Sorry? Ok, toyol is mythical spirit in the Malay mythology of South-East Asia. It is usually called upon or evoke by a bomoh (aka witch doctor) from a childs grave or fetus and given the task of stealing valuebles from people. More about Toyol.

I'll be acting alongside Eja and Hairi Othman as the leading male and female actress. Production will begin in two weeks today. Will keep you guys updated after I'm done shooting. ;)

The KL Samurai | Official Statement

It's official. I've been holding this role for months after meetings and negotiations to tell the world. Riz Ainuddin is officially the 'The KL Samurai'.

Quote from the press statement taken from the website. The KL Samurai.

Based on his talent and determination, Riz Ainuddin shall represent a new version of a Malaysian hero. "Riz has the basic charisma, look and personality that can be further enhanced so he would be able to deliver the arrogant, manipulative and mystical character of the 'KL Samurai' in the film successfully" states the Project Director.

Riz is currently undergoing a special samurai 'kenjitsu' and 'mutojutsu' training under the guidance of Master Haja Mohaideen of Akademi Wajadiri Malaysia (AWM) as part of preparation for fight scenes and duel in the film.

Riz will be playing the lead role of Johan Ahmad Takada, a Malay-Japanese CEO who hates his Japanese blood but at the same time being haunted and possessed by the samurai spirit of the past.

Versi Bahas pulak. :)

Berdasarkan bakat dan kesungguhanya, Riz Ainuddin akan mewakili versi baru hero Malaysia. "Riz mempunyai karisma, rupa dan personaliti asas yang melayakan beliau untuk mempertingkatkan agar beliau dapat membawa watak jejajak 'KL Samurai' yang angkuh, manupulatif dan mistikal dalam filem tersebut dengan jayanya" kata Pengarah Projek.

Riz kini sedang menjalani latihan khas samurai 'kenjitsu' dan 'mutojutsu' dibawah pimpinan Master Haja Mohaideen dari Akedemi Wajadiri Malaysia (AWM) sebagai sebahagian daripada persediaan untuk babak aksi dan lawan tanding dalam filem berkenaan.

Riz akan memegang watak utama sebagai Johan Ahmad Takada, seorang Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif berketurunan melayu-jepun yang membenci darah keturunan Jepunnya tetapi dalam masa yang sama dihantui dan dirasuk oleh roh samurai zaman silam.

I'm gonna working with the best people in the industry to date. I have so much to research and learn till the targeted shooting date. Am I nervous? Nope. I'm more nervous looking forward for the film to be screened. :)
