Now, I'm not up enough on my Spanish film to say with confidence that upcoming feature Extremo is the absolute first martial arts film ever produced in that country but it is certainly one of very few if not the first out of the gate and it looks as though it should be a very impressive piece of work. Based around the skills of martial artist Teo García and written by Antonio Trashorras - best known as the writer of Guillermo Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone - the film is gearing up towards production now but they have already put together a pre-production teaser that showcases Garcia's skills and the shadow-drenched, very noir influenced world they intend to create for the film and the pre-production clip is already more polished than a good number of feature films. With Trashorras writing and Garcia's obvious skills this has the potential to be something pretty special ...

Nacho and Teo, two very close friends living in an orphanage, are always getting in trouble. Though they sealed a blood pact to be friends for life, soon Teo is adopted by a Japanese couple and Nacho stays behind in the orphanage. Twenty years later, Teo is now a celebrated businessman bodyguard in Barcelona after escaping from the Japanese mafia. Nacho, now a rich man into a lot of shady businesses, has become an occasional street fighter in betting fights. When they meet up again by chance, things will not turn out to be the way they would have expected…

You'll find the teaser in the Twitch Player below the break.
