The Big Picture Jean-Claude Van Damme is snapping back into action in a string of exclusive images for the action star’s upcoming movie, Darkness of Man. In his latest high-octane performance, the legendary actor will appear in the role of Russell Hatch, a former Interpol operative who has seen better and more fulfilling days.
Along with Van Damme steering his latest vehicle from the driver’s seat, Darkness of Man also features an ensemble cast that includes Shannen Doherty , Kristanna Loken , Spencer Breslin , Emerson Min , and Kirk “Sticky Fingaz” Jones . James Cullen Bressack, the filmmaker behind other high-octane titles including the Mel Gibson and Kevin Dillon-led Hot Seat and the Bruce Willis and Chad Michael Murray-fronted Fortress, directed the feature from a script he co-wrote with Alethea Cho.
Our exclusive set of images begins to lay the building blocks for what audiences can expect to see when Darkness of Man arrives on digital on May 21. While Van Damme may be down-and-out in one picture that shows him stuck in a hospital bed, the others reveal that the hero is back on his feet in no time, tracking down his enemies one by one.
