A fun-filled exclusive interview with entrepreneur turned actor, writer, producer CHARLIE CLARK talking about the family-friendly action-adventure comedy of the summer, GREEN GHOST AND THE MASTERS OF THE STONE.
SYNOPSIS: In a Texas border town, car salesman Charlie (CHARLIE CLARK) moonlights as a masked Lucha libre wrestler going by the name “Green Ghost.” When unknown assailants arrive seeking an otherworldly emerald, Charlie discovers that he has superpowers. As he learns to fight from the unconventional Master Gin (action film legend DANNY TREJO), Charlie is told that he’s part of a secret warrior “triad of light” with his childhood friend Marco (KUNO BECKER) and Marco’s sister Karina (SOFIA PERNAS) led by La Nana (RENEE VICTOR). Together, they’ve been chosen to protect humanity from Drake (MARKO ZAROR), the embodiment of the Mayan apocalypse. As a stargate is opened in a Mexican pyramid, Drake seeks the power to destroy humankind — and Charlie, linked to the power of the emerald, is the only one who can stop him. Charlie must harness both his physical and mystical strength to save humanity and go from Gringo to Green Ghost. In the style of comedy martial-arts movies of the 1970s and ’80s, director Michael D. Olmos’ GREEN GHOST AND THE MASTERS OF THE STONE is a comedic anti-hero action movie filled with adventure for the entire family.
In the vein of the comedy martial-arts films of the 70s, GREEN GHOST AND THE MASTERS OF THE STONE is directed by Michael D. Olmos, written by Charlie Clark, Michael D. Olmos, and Brian Douglas, and stars Clark as Charlie aka Green Ghost, Sofia Pernas, Kuno Becker, Elpida Carrillo, Dale Dye, MMA fighter Marko Zaror, screen legends Pepe Serna and Renee Victor, with a scene-stealing (okay, film stealing) performance by Danny Trejo as Master Gin.
Melding two cultures and bringing in a sci-fi archaeologic element to the film, GREEN GHOST AND THE MASTERS OF THE STONE incorporates much of Charlie Clark’s own life and personality into the film and the character of Charlie/Green Ghost, while under Olmos’ guiding hand, the action is fun, visuals pop thanks to some wonderful VFX and use of neon color, and you are entertained from beginning to end.
Involved in every aspect of the production, mild-mannered car dealership owner turned actor/producer CHARLIE CLARK covers it all in this exclusive conversation while spilling the beans on how hard it is to be a “martial arts Lucha Libre action star.”
