Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Dexter: Original Sin and Dexter season 7.Harry Morgan's (Christian Slater) days as a Narcotics detective in Dexter: Original Sin saw him hunt for Hector Estrada, but the prequel show didn't explain just how important the drug kingpin is. The cast of Dexter: Original Sin includes several characters from the original series. Major characters like Harry and Debra obviously pop up in the story of Dexter's early days as a serial killer, but there are also some more minor figures who play a much more important role in the prequel series. Some of them only appeared in a few episodes of Dexter's eight seasons, and viewers may have forgotten who they were.

One character who was somewhat forgettable in Dexter but should prove to be indispensable in Original Sin is Hector Estrada. In Dexter: Original Sin episode 2 and 3, Harry recruited Laura Moser...

The National Geographic Channel announced today it is no longer moving forward with a scripted TV series based on the 2012 action film Act of Valor. Here's what the network had to say in a brief statement.

"Ngc is unfortunately not moving forward with Act of Valor in favor of other scripted projects we have under consideration that will be announced soon."

The series was first announced in September 2012, when Relativity Media and the Bandito Brothers production company revealed they were developing the movie for the small screen. National Geographic Channel gave the series a green light in October, although creative differences reportedly arose between Relativity and the Bandito Brothers.

The network had a formalized deal in place with Relativity, but the studio had no formal agreement with the Bandito Brothers. In the months that followed, the network, studio and production company all had differing ideas of how the show should be crafted.

Navy SEALs movie Act of Valor is to be adapted for television. The film starred Roselyn Sanchez (Without a Trace) and Nestor Serrano (24) opposite real-life SEALs. Production studio Bandito Brothers and distributor Relativity Media have re-teamed for the new TV version, Deadline reports. Act of Valor attracted generally negative critical reviews but opened at the top of the Us box office in February, earning $$24,700,000 (£15,475,000) in its first weekend. Relativity's (more)...

Relativity Media and the Bandito Brothers, the team behind February's "Act of Valor" film, are shopping around a TV series version of the feature to both broadcast and cable networks says The Live Feed.

The original film mixed real life U.S. Navy SEALs and Navy Special Warfare Combatant Crewmen with actors like Roselyn Sanchez, Nestor Serrano and Emilio Rivera. Though the central story was fake, dealing with a mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent, the techniques and combat tactics used in the field were authentic.

Shot on the cheap, the film still managed to pull in a modest but profitable $80 million worldwide. With the show, the aim is to create "something more visceral than any other show on television" according to RelativityREAL CEO Tom Forman.

Bandito is also producing "React", a similar grounded in reality series about a secret black ops task force. That project is in development...

Chicago – “Act of Valor” is a woeful miscalculation on every conceivable level. To call it a movie would be inaccurate. You know those slickly photographed, stupendously smug army recruitment videos that often appear in pre-show movie theater ads? Imagine one of those videos stretched to two hours and passed off as entertainment. It’s like a Michael Bay knockoff without the aliens.

After co-directing 2007’s documentary short, “Navy Swcc,” Mike “Mouse” McCoy and Scott Waugh were asked by the Navy to make a movie about the SEALs. Through their research, McCoy and Waugh decided that the only way to make an accurate film would be to cast real-life Navy SEALs who can shoot real guns and perform real stunts. Yet for all the “reality” on display, McCoy and Waugh have no idea how to make their film feel the least bit authentic.

Act Of Valour

Review by Dan Clark of Movie Revolt

Stars: Alex Veadov, Roselyn Sanchez, Nestor Serrano, Jeffrey Barnachea, Drea Castro | Written by Kurt Johnstad | Directed by Mike McCoy, Scott Waugh

The simple premise of Act of Valour has sparked some controversy. Some see a film made by the U.S. Military that casts real life Navy Seals as an opportunity to see a true reflection of the American spirit while others see it as nothing more than a propaganda piece. Personally I feel the idea of casting real life Navy Seals in a film has some potential. With their knowledge and background we could get a film that replicates the trial and tribulations they actual go through on a daily basis. Action that wipes away the cleanliness and polish we have come to expect, and injects a sense of realism to provide something new and different. However that wasn’t the case at all.

Box Office February 24-26, 2012. Act of Valor premiered in the Number One spot at the box office this weekend with $24.7 Million. Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds premiered in Second Place with $16 Million. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was Third with $13.4 Million. Safe House was Fourth with $11.4 Million. The Vow was Fifth with $10 Million for $103 Million so far. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, This Means War, Wanderlust (which premiered this weekend), Gone (which premiered this weekend), and The Secret World of Arrietty rounded out the top ten respectively.

Act of Valor is a 2012 American war film directed by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh, and written by Kurt Johnstad. It stars Alex Veadov, Roselyn Sánchez, Nestor Serrano, Emilio Rivera, and actual active duty U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Navy Special Warfare Combatant Crewmen.

Act of Valor

Starring Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, and Nestor Serrano

Directed by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh

Rated R

When attempting to make a movie about Navy SEALs, directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh had a problem; how do you capture the essence of a true Navy Seal with an actor?  The answer was clear... you don't.  So they took four months to convince eight real Navy SEALs to be in their film, in exchange for not using their names in any of the credits.  And to try for even more authenticity, live ammunition was used in several of the action scenes.

Yeah, there wasn't a whole lot of messing around here, especially when you use the real thing.

Our eight SEALs are faced with a daunting task, starting with a mission to Costa Rica to rescue CIA agent Morales (Roselyn Sanchez), which leads to an even more challenging...

Tmp explores the shadowy and oft-unrecognized world of the U.S. Navy Seals, one of will, heart, violence, and the dogged determination of our country's most feared and fearless soldiers.

Synopsis: At a moment's notice, a Seal team must be ready for any mission handed to them.  From covert reconaissance to delicate interrogations, from rescue scenarios to full-blown counter-terrorism, the SEALs contend not only with the brutal mental and physical rigors of thier often unrecognized duties, but also the heart-wrenching emotional strain from leaving loved ones behind as they fufuill their sworn oath to defend their country.

Directed by: Mike "Mouse" McCoy and Scott Waugh

Written by: Kurt Johnstad

Cast: Alex Veadov, Roselyn Sanchez, Nestor Serrano, Emilio Rivera, numerous active duty U.S. Navy SEALs and Special Warfare Combatant Crewmen

Delivery:

It's difficult to describe Act of Valor from any one particular viewpoint lest one lose sight of the overall picture,...

Asked by the Navy to create a film to honor the fallen Seals since 9-11 who gave their lives to protect our country, Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh took six months to gain the active team’s trust and begin to understand exactly what they do on a day-to-day basis. As the directing pair’s brief interview playing before my Act of Valor screening explained, once it became time to make the movie neither could fathom doing it with actors who simply could never understand the emotional complexity of such a job. Who besides the actual man could wrap his head around being a 6 foot tall hulk of an Operator barking orders while deployed and a humble, tender father of five back home who leaves them behind with love and duty coexisting in his heart? No one.

So the filmmakers worked hard and cajoled a group of active Seals—who...
