Take Flight

District 13 Ultimatum (B13U) is coming to DVD! Starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli, B13U was the most highly anticipated Parkour film ever made when it released in February 2009 in Europe. Since then the film has debuted around the world and is finally being released on DVD in the United States. In accordance with the exciting release we have worked hard to make sure our customers can be the first to own the DVD.

At Take Flight we have always been and always will be huge supporters and promoters of Parkour films and projects involving David Belle. Banlieue 13 and B13 Ultimatum are the top two on both of these lists. Fortunately we have some strong relationships with various companies that allow us to sell products from these movies that others can’t. This is true in the case of our posters, and it is now true with the B13U DVD. Even though the movie doesn’t release until April 27^th, we have it in our store for pre-order purchase for Traceurs worldwide!

District 13 Ultimatum officially releases on DVD on April 27^th, and you can pre-order it now through our store for only $19.95. All orders placed for the DVD will be shipped ‘rush’ on this date, and all pre-orders will receive FREE shipping.

Banlieue 13 Ultimatum was released in U.S. theaters today! We couldn’t be more excited for he U.S. Parkour community as a whole for this film’s debut and of course for ourselves here at Take Flight because we get to watch it too!

Banlieue 13 Ultimatum (aka District 13 Ultimatum – U.S. Title-) has been out in Europe since February of 2009, and is finally now on the big screen in America. Now that the movie is out you simply have to go and see it! This movie is only the second time David Belle has graced the presence of a theatrical release in the United States as a star of the film. And if the guns, explosions, fight sequences, and chase scenes aren’t enough to keep you strapped to your seat for the duration, David’s athleticism, talent, and fearless performance most definitely will. The film is on limited release so we recommend going to the following Fandango link to find a theater that is playing it near you.

We have already mentioned it twice on the Take Flight Facebook page, but this will be the first time we have written about it here: Banlieue 13 Ultimatum starring David Belle, the sequel to the iconic and pioneering Banlieue 13 released in 2004, is set to release in the U.S. in less than a month! Initially released in France on February 18, 2009, the movie has premiered in countries around the world and is now set to debut in the U.S on February 5^th.

We have never been more excited for a film’s release! To see David return to the big screen with co-star Cyril Raffaelli in a story written by the internationally acclaimed director and producer Luc Besson, is so momentous an occasion that we have decided to dedicate the entire month to the film. For the next 29 days we will be posting daily looks at the film, including pictures, videos, and interviews, on our Facebook fan page for our followers to watch, discuss, and share.

Banlieue 13 is considered to be the greatest Parkour film of all time. Setting a new precedent for athleticism and true to life action within the creative capabilities of film making, the sequel Banlieue 13 Ultimatum is sure to be a continuation of what was started in the original. We hope you join us in getting amped for this film’s release, and most importantly, set the day aside in your schedule to go see the film when it is finally unveiled on February 5^th.

With the official release of B13 – Ultimatum now complete we have decided to bring our behind the scenes look at the film to an end with this final featurette. This video features David Belle, Cyril Raffaelli, and the movie’s director Patrick Alessandrin talking about the film in addition to more previously unseen footage from the making of this exciting motion picture.

Yesterday we posted a David Belle focused behind the scenes look at the recently released blockbuster B13 – Ultimatum. The video below is the compliment to that video; a behind the scenes look at the film focused around David’s co-star Cyril Raffaelli.

More of a fighter than a runner when compared to David, Cyril added a dynamic to the film that made him a perfect co-star to David. The differences between the two actor’s styles are shown incredibly well when this video is contrasted with the previous video. Watch and enjoy, and if you would like to watch that previous behind the scenes look featuring David Belle please click here.

The most anticipated Parkour featuring film in history, B13 – Ultimatum starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli, is being released today in theaters around the world.

All the excitement over B13 – Ultimatum got us thinking about the first Banlieue 13 released in 2004. We went through our archives and quickly realized that we only had one of the two main chase scenes in the film in our MisterParkour.com library! So, without any further ado, here is the highly underrated and underappreciated second chase scene from Banlieue 13 featuring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli. This sequence, although relatively simpler than the most famous sequence of the film (seen here), is as good as, if not better in some ways than, its predecessor. Although the talent and magnitude of the performance of the scene can only be fully appreciated upon multiple viewings in slow motion, David displays a raw athleticism in his jumps and movements that make this scene breathtaking and inspiring. Featuring some classic moves from Cyril as well, this scene was a fantastic way to bring Banlieue 13 to its cinematic climax.

With less than a month before the highly anticipated February 18^th release of B13 – Ultimatum, another official movie preview has been released! A whole 40 seconds longer than the first B13 Ultimatum trailer, this one practically puts its counterpart to shame as it is packed with way more excitement and jaw dropping moments than the first. If you have any doubts about the action level of this film or the physical performances of David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli wait until about 1:08 in the trailer. Then strap in and hold onto your seat. B13 – Ultimatum is going to be one wild ride.
