After his notable stuntwork in films such as Lucy and Now You See Me 2 – not to mention his breakout starring role in Jailbreak, indie flick The Division and the recent Nightshooters – Jean-Paul Ly will soon be showing more of his amazing martial arts skills in the sci-fi actioner Rift, from writer/director Haz Dulull (2036: Origin Unknown).
Rift follows a nihilistic police officer who goes to extreme measures to protect a young boy who has the ability to tap into multi-dimensions across space and time (via FCS).
The film is just one of the many projects Ly has in-the-works. You’ll soon be seeing more of him in 14 Fists, Vengeance 2 and Kenneth Brannagh’s upcoming Disney adaptation of Artemis Fowl.
Production on Rift is scheduled to start next year. Until we hear more, here’s a look at some proof-of-concept footage:
