Action thriller Braven, shot in Newfoundland and starring Jason Momoa, premieres Friday


READ MORE

Another film project shot in Newfoundland featuring movie star Jason Momoa hits select theatres this week.



‘When I saw photos it was an easy decision and a no-brainer.’
– Lin Oeding


Braven is an action thriller about a son and father who have to protect their family at a wilderness cabin from a group of drug runners.


“It’s a cool film set in beautiful Newfoundland. The film actually takes place somewhere on the Canadian border but Newfoundland is just a stunning backdrop,” director Lin Oeding told CBC’s Here Now.


The thriller is also produced by Momoa, along with his partner Brian Mendoza, through their Pride of Gypsies banner.


Oeding got his start in the industry on Walker, Texas Ranger, and worked on the movies The Equalizer and Straight Outta Compton, and came to scout Newfoundland as a location in November 2015.


“When I saw photos it was an easy decision and a no-brainer, as Newfoundland is a gorgeous place,” said Oeding.




Momoa approached Oeding about directing Braven and both agreed Newfoundland would make the most sense to film given the scenery — and because Momoa was already in the province filming the Discovery Canada series Frontier.


Head-bashing at Leo’s fish and chips


The trailer for Braven gives a sneak peak at some scenes that should look familiar to any Newfoundlander, such as the winter backcountry and one clip that shows a man’s head being violently slammed into a table at St. John’s fish and chips spot Leo’s Restaurant.

Oeding said to make Braven a reality, some of the crew were drawn from Newfoundland’s burgeoning film industry, such as locals who had worked on projects like CBC’s Republic of Doyle.


Newfoundland a ‘stunning background’


The Hollywood director said coming from Los Angeles to Canada’s most eastern province during winter was certainly a shock, and he quickly had to get geared up with a Canada Goose jacket and snow pants.


But Oeding sees a lot of potential in Newfoundland for future Hollywood films given what’s already been filmed on the island over the last several years.


“There are places like Newfoundland or other parts of the world that people don’t know of yet. But I’m sure when this movie comes out a lot of people will see this stunning background and go on the internet and see where it’s shot,” he said.

Besides the Newfoundland scenery as the backdrop, Oeding said anyone who likes Momoa’s work or just a good action film in general should enjoy the 94-minute ride that Braven provides.


“It’s going to be a fun film and audiences are going to see Jason kicking butt,” he said.


“I think everyone can relate to a father who, at the end of the day, just wants to protect his family when it’s in danger.”

Kerala authorities estimate rebuilding after flood will cost $3bn

READ MORE New Delhi, India – The cost to rebuild Kerala following the severe flooding that hit the southern Indian state will exceed $3.7bn, authorities said. Almost 500 people were killed and a million left homeless after the worst floods in a century hit the coastal state in May. The torrential rains destroyed tens of thousands of homes, ruined crops and washed away roads and bridges. At the state assembly on Thursday,  Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the economic losses would exceed $3.73bn. Last month, the central government announced it would provide 6bn rupees ($84.6m) in assistance to the state, far less than the 20bn rupees ($282m) it requested. Much to the dismay of state officials, the government has also rejected offers of foreign aid from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Around 50,000 people are still living in over 300 camps across the state. More than four million jobs have been impacted by the floods so far, while 3.3 million jobs are currently...

With Trump's deadline looming, Canada waits for news on steel tariffs

READ MORE The countdown is on as Canada waits to learn whether it will face steep U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs in March of 25 per cent on steel imports and 10 per cent on aluminum, but granted temporary exemptions to certain countries. In the case of Canada and Mexico, Trump’s administration tied both countries’ tariff exemptions to the successful renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. That exemption period officially ends May 1, and it’s not clear yet whether the White House will extend the exemption for Canada —  the U.S.’s largest foreign supplier of steel and aluminum. “The president has not made any decision yet,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox Business Network in an interview that aired Monday. His cabinet colleague Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told Bloomberg that the White House wil...
