Real life Hollywood couple Natasha Blasick and Martin Blasick will appear together onscreen in Paying Mr McGetty, an action comedy premiering on Sept. 11 at the 2016 Burbank International Film Festival. It stars martial arts world champion and action star Don “The Dragon” Wilson and R. Marcos Taylor who skyrocketted to fame portraying Suge Knight in Straight Outta Compton. The feature film is directed by Michael Baumgarten (Smitty, The Martial Arts Kid) and produced by James Wilson (The Martial Arts Kid).
The Blasicks relish the chance to work together on-screen. Natasha, star of Paranoid Activity 2 and Playing With Dolls, says “We’re always supporting each other and sharing what we’re doing. So, even though it feels like we’re working together all the time, it’s really refreshing to go to the set and do the same job. It was very easy and fun.”
Martin Blasick, better known as a gold record awarded songwriter/composer with credits including Princess Diaries 2 and Magic Mike, jumped at the chance to act with Natasha. “Natasha and I rehearse her scenes from all her projects so often we’ve become good scene partners. She’s such a great actress it’s an honor to act with her.”
The pair previously worked with Baumgarten and Wilson in The Martial Arts Kid where Natasha played a femme fatale and in which Martin contributed the song “Breaking Away”. Says Martin, “I really appreciate Micheal trusting me to play Nick and to put together a comedic Russian accent.” Natasha says, “Michael likes to throw actors into situations where creativity can blossom. I liked improvising as the camera rolled. I played around with a bit of danger.”
The Blasicks are excited to attend the Paying Mr. McGetty premiere. Says Natasha “The Burbank Film Festival is a wonderful gathering of talent. We’ll walk the red carpet and soak up the moment together.”
