Scott Adkins (Wolf Warrior, Zero Tolerance) is reuniting with William Kaufman (Jarhead 3: The Siege) for The Returner, a fantasy action film that echoes both Death Wish and The Crow. The film will be written and produced by Chad Law (6 Bullets, Close Range).
According to Deadline, Adkins will star as Piper, the owner of a speakeasy who refuses to sell Al Capone’s booze during Prohibition and pays the ultimate price. After Piper and his family are murdered, he mysteriously returns from the grave; a revenant, he has nine lives to exact vengeance — and possibly rewrite history.
Be sure to read about Adkins’ other forthcoming projects, which include Hard Target 2, Eliminators and Undisputed IV – not to mention a role in Marvel’s Doctor Strange.
