Scott Adkins, Djimon Hounsou Teaming for Action-Thriller ‘One Last Fight’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAlex Ritman Martial arts movie hero Scott Adkins (“John Wick: Chapter 4,” “Undisputed 4: Boyka”) and Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou (“Gladiator,” “Blood Diamond”) are teaming for upcoming action-thriller “One Last Fight.” The film has been announced by London and Rome-based Brilliant Pictures, which has acquired worldwide sales rights and will be launching the project at the European Film Market in Berlin. “One Last Fight” follows British ex-Muay Thai champion turned instructor Marcus (Adkins) and his wife Ammara, who are running a training camp in Bangkok.
While mourning the loss of their child, Marcus discovers that Ammara’s younger brother Chet, a promising Muay Thai boxer, owes money to a local crime boss — forcing him to participate in a series of brutal underground fights orchestrated by charismatic Nigerian gangster Tiga (Hounsou).
As Marcus tries to help Chet get out of trouble, he is coerced by Tiga into replacing Chet in the illegal arena, plunging him and his family into a dark world of visceral violence with much more at stake than he’d ever imagined.
The film is being directed by Isaac Florentine (“Acts of Vengeance,” “Undisputed 2”) from a screenplay by Karim Chériguène and Yvan Gauthier.
