Let's get ready to SUMO!!!
Sawadeekap from Bangkok, It's me after a blistering hot launching ceremony of BRAVE / BERANI near the world trade centre here.We have been shooting for almost three weeks and the tempreature here in bangkok is 40 degrees celcius consistent.
Mak aii berkuap telor eden ni haa (excuse the expression)!!! But the launch went really well All 7 television networks from thailand and all the press from here showed up and we are confident we are going to be famous here eventhough h sepatah haram of what they are saying kita tak faham!! they might be saying " if you see this people walking the streets of ratchada do not approach them because they are muslim terrorists" for all we know! hee hee.
Awie as a Pailang / gangster 'JOHN' dalam filem BRAVE tengah makeup menunggu scene beliau.
Gua mengangkat tong minyak dengan mudah aje selepas training mengangkat berat selama enam bulan.
Sharifah Sofia yang berlakon sebagai 'MEAW' tergamam dengan kekuatan gua.
Stunt double gua yang akan melakukan semua scene-scene yang terlalu bahaya. Nasib baik ada dia..
But yeah very excited about this movie but not as excited like the twin double excitement happening in my heart in anticipation of the release of SUMOLAH this may!!!...
Akhirnya... gua akan melahirkan jugak.....Sebelum di bangkok ni however, gua baru je balik daripada LOS ANGELES dimana gua dapat bersua muka dengan..... (cue music) Hugh Laurie from the hit series HOUSE, M.Night Syamalan, Wes Craven director of the SCREAM movies as well as the nightmare on elm street series, Mark Wahlberg talking about his latest movie Shooter, Seorang rapper bernama MIMS, Charlie Sheen of platoon,spin city and two and a half men and a few more minor celebrities.
Fuhhh gua rasa macam groupie siot... actually perangai gua pun exactly macam groupy. Me and a few friends whom i shall not name, just in case diorang tak bagitahu wife or girlfiend diorang yang kita pegi jalan kat malam di sana, manage to go to the Viper Room! a club owned by johnny Depp. Tapi yang amat meriah sekali bagi saya adalah dapat pergi ke Laugh factory untuk menyaksikan live stand-up comedy. Semasa di sana gua juga sempat perform accapella dengan group barbershop quartet ni kat california adventureland. that was quite exciting pasal bila habis nyani tepi jalan tu baru gua sedar berapa punya ramai orang tengah tengok gua and the cheers and applause buat macam gua nak buat concert kat sana pulak. tapi gua rasa pasal diorang ingat yang meyanyi tu tourist amatur aje... diorang tak tahu gua berguru dengan pengetua AF5 selama 6 tahun tanpa satu album dulu. But for ur viewing pleasure here is some photos of the trip... enjoy
The Bronson gate kat paramount pictures . mungkin satu hari gua akan melalui gate itu untuk menyain kontrak bagi mengarah sebuah filem hollywood.
Hasnul Rahmat dan Gua, posing didepan sebuah kedai runcit di san pedro. Nasib baik polis tak ingat kita orang ni hispanic yang nak rompak kedai tu.
Member barbershop quartet yang menyanyi dengan gua di tepi jalan di theme park, California Adventure park.
Jalan manakah nak dituju? katakan kepadaku... katakan padakuuu..
Bersama pemenang-pemenang anugerah skrin di pintu masuk Universal Studios.
Cover album baru gua. STEAM KODOK.
Hasnul dan Gua di backlot Warner brothers studio... itu set tu bukan rumah betul. Memang terror mat salleh ni menipu.

SUMO-lah vs Spiderman vs Pirates of the Carribean!
Ok check it out guys, i know a lot of you are going omigod! SUMOlah, open on the same month as Spidey and Pirates of the carribean!, possibly the two biggest film on planet earth this year but you know what guys, i have great belief that this year a simple malaysian film with a lot of heart like SUMOlah will be able to make us all proud and stand tall among the giants.
Sumolah di sumbatkan pada bulan may, tapi dengan sokongan awak semua kita boleh buat filem ini filem terbesar untuk Malaysia tahun ini, JIKA AWAK SUKA FILEM INI... BAGITAHU SEMUA RAKAN-RAKAN AWAK. Let everybody know. Tell them to go watch it in the cinemas. VCD atau DVD tu bonus.... cuba tengok di panggung.
We took a big risk investing greatly in this movie to prove that, people will appreciate it if filmmakers put the effort to up their production values and couple it with good story telling. We are ready to kasi pecah panggung bulan May ini, we hope you guys are too... It is the era of Malaysian movies my friends. Movies made for all Malaysians. The power IS IN YOUR HANDS.
SUPPORT US SO WE CAN KEEP MAKING GREAT MOVIES.
Here is a sneak peak of my new movie in thailand BRAVE / BERANI.

Apa sudah jadi dengan Afdlin Shauki??
Assalammualaikum, apa khabar kodok-kodok semua. Lama sepi menyeliputi blog ini.
sebab utamanya adalah saya telah melalui bermacam-macam jenis pengalaman dalam perjalanan saya untuk melahirkan Filem http://www.sumolah.com. Saya tak pernah menyangka yang the politics of the film industry went so deep. Having said that, i would like to announce on the blog today that the Launch of http://www.sumolah.com will be either the 10th or 17th of MAY. But MAY is confirmed. So bagitahu semua kodok-kodok semua. Thank you everyone for your support and love. Insya' allah http://www.sumolah.com will be worth the wait.
SUMOLAH BULAN MAY NI!!!! WOOO HOOO
Apa lagi nak cerita... Ohh bulan Januari dan Februari aktiviti gua di penuhi oleh penggambaran filem cuci. filem arahan Hans Isaac yang pertama dan kita mengharapkan yang terbaik buatnya. Pelik jugak bekerja dengan beliau sebagai pengarah kerana untuk empat filem sebelum ni gua direct dia, sekarang kena terima arahan dari beliau. Tapi kawan-kawan tetap memberi kepercayaan kepada hans kerana he's got his own way of doing things. Cuci adalah mengenai empat orang budak kampung yang suka mencuci dari kecil dan bercita-cita untuk satu hari mencuci KLCC. Pictures coming soon. tengah proses.
Gambaq-gambaq kat bawah ni however merupakan gambar still bagi projek terbaru gua di Thailand, BRAVE.
er
Hingga ketemu lagi.... gua akan berblogging dari bangkok lepas ni.
power to the people.
