Take Flight

The date is finally set! February 18, 2009 will be the official release date of B13 – Ultimatum. As the sequel to the David Belle starring Banlieue 13, B13 – Ultimatum is already the most anticipated Parkour featuring film in history. Included below is the film’s first released trailer, and if it reveals anything about the movie it clearly exhibits the fact that this sequel is going to be full of even more thrilling action than its predecessor. With building leveling explosions, breathtaking choreography, eye popping acrobatics, nail biting chase scenes, and of course David Belle, B13 – Ultimatum is sure to be one of the most exciting films of year. We think it will be deserving of much more prestigious accolades but only time will tell in that regard. For now we hope that this teaser and our previously featured behind the scenes episodes will be enough to tide you over for the two arduous months until its European release.

After not appearing since Episode 7, David Belle has returned from his hiatus from the behind the scenes features of B13 – Ultimatum! And what a return it is! This time he and Cyril are doing a jump so big so that the crew had to implement safety equipment. Whether, though, David would actually need the cardboard landing zone to do the jump is still being debated.

The behind the scenes look at B13 – Ultimatum continues on MisterParkour.com with episode #14 of the series. In this episode Cyril continues the fight from featurette 13, but now he has moved downstairs to confront the drug packagers. Unfortunately, in addition to packaging drugs they are also good fighters. Go figure :\

The action continues with another behind the scenes glimpse of the upcoming film B13 – Ultimatum due for release in February of 2009 and starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli. This 13^th featurette continues this series’ tradition of unveiling exciting action sequences in the film for anticipatory audiences. Cyril is back in the club and this time he is dodging bullets and swords in order to stay alive. The large white guys make the end of this episode vaguely reminiscent of a scene in the original Banlieue 13. This time, though, Cyril doesn’t rely on cinder blocks to take his man out. An expensive painting should do just fine.

This 12^th behind the scenes look at the highly anticipated Banlieue 13 sequel B13 – Ultimatum is an interesting mix of Chinese men, female dancers, and explosions. With all of these characteristic this featurette further develops the plot lines of the film in a way no one could have expected. The one thing that could have been expected, however, is that Cyril Raffaelli is right there in the middle of it all.

The behind the scenes series of the upcoming film B13 Ultimatum continues with featurette 11. Establishing a surprising plot twist of sorts, this episode introduces the first female action-actor in either of the B13 films. She is none other than the talented Elodie Yung, and she plays the character of Tao in the film. Watch out for her hair!

In this featurette the crew returns to Paris to the Galliera museum to shoot one of the final sequences in the film.

This is “episode 9” of a series of behind the scenes looks at the upcoming film B13 – Ultimatum. If you haven’t gotten the vibe from Banlieue 13 or the other featurettes in this series, most of the citizens in District B13 don’t like the police. Further evidence of this fact is shown in this feature. With that said, in this episode there is more talking than anything so we hope you can speak French.

Here is the 8^th behind the scenes look of the highly anticipated B13 – Ultimatum to be released in February of 2009. If this featurette is any indication of what is to come, this film will be packed with more explosions and action than the original Banlieue 13.

Here is episode 7 of our behind the scenes look at B13 – Ultimatum. In contrast to some of the other sneak peaks this featurette is comparatively mild.

A video like this, although not showing any major action, reveals more of the story and continues to build excitement for this film. If that by itself isn’t enough for you though, David throws in a smooth move and a vault that is, as always, well worth studying.
