PopGeeks Interviews Rob Baard, Director and Star of ‘The Ninja: Immovable Heart’
The Ninja : Immovable Heart stars action movie legend Danny Glover, but he leaves the dangerous stuff to Australian martial-artist Rob Baard, who handles it quite nicely as you can see. Baard also directed the film, which is coming to DVD and digital Tuesday, March 3 from Uncork’d Entertainment. We recently chatted with Baard to find out more about the film and the filmmakers’ plans to make it a major franchise including comics, clothing and TV.
