There is all kinds of MMA talent in movies that are coming out these days so I wanted to make a list with a little about them and when they may be done. Please make a comment if you have anything to add or any insider info on the movie.
Owned - Jason Miller, Dean Lister and Cung Lee (Don Frye added as appearance guy for auditions)
“Owned is an exciting sci-fi action thriller set in the future which is more than an MMA movie. It is a mix of ‘Die Hard,’ ‘The Matrix,’ and ‘A History of Violence.”
