The Big Picture Get into the mind of Jean-Claude Van Damme in an exclusive to Collider extended sneak peek of the action star’s latest film, Darkness of Man. The movie is now available for purchase on digital, and our close-up look serves as the perfect backdrop teaser of the gritty drama that audiences will be jumping into. Directed by James Cullen Bressack , the film also features performances from Shannen Doherty , Spencer Breslin , rap artist Sticky Fingaz, Kristanna Loken , and Emerson Min.
Van Damme’s Interpol op, Russell Hatch, is walking the mean streets of Los Angeles in our exclusive Darkness of Man sneak peek. After checking on a dear friend and taking a box filled with donated goods to a church, Hatch blows off some steam at a dingy pool hall with a tall pour of whiskey. All the while, the agent’s inner monologue runs, keeping viewers connected with what’s going on in his mind.
The seven-minute extended look at Darkness of Man paints a picture of how audiences will meet Van Damme’s latest character - a man down on his luck, jaded by his time on the beat, and dealing with it all by draining every last drop of the bottle. To be fair, he has a lot to feel sorry about, as Hatch is haunted by ghosts from his past after one of his informants is killed.
Who’s Behind ‘Darkness of Man’? Produced by JCB Pictures, Robotic Donut, Sandaled Kid Productions, and VMI Worldwide, Darkness of Man will be the latest title distributed by Saban Films. Its director, Bresssack, has long leaned into the action-thriller-crime genre, working with names like Chad Michael Murray and Bruce Willis on both Survive the Game and Fortress, as well as with other action legends, including Steven Seagal in Beyond the Law.
