“Ascenders” Promotional Poster
A new action series starring martial arts star Scott Adkins (Accident Man, Incoming) is currently being shopped to buyers. The series, titled Ascenders, is to be directed by Adkins’ frequent collaborator Jesse V. Johnson (Savage Dog, The Debt Collector) and developed by Ehud Bleiberg (Close Range) and Gregg Bishop (Dance of the Dead).
Read on for the full the details (via Stanley White):
Ascenders is a ten-hour supernatural action-thriller epic series. The series is designed with worldwide appeal in mind, featuring an international ensemble cast. Drawing inspiration from The Terminator, The Walking Dead, and Lost, as well as the works from Agatha Christie, Ascenders combines fist-pumping action, gripping suspense, and deep character development, all against a dark and original supernatural backdrop.
A dead doctor escapes from Hell with a group of damned souls and returns to the world of the living to solve his own murder. However, the Netherworld sends a pack of demonic bounty hunters called Reapers, who are unstoppable gun-toting agents of death, to hunt them all down and bring them back to Hell.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: With a handful of films currently under his belt – including Seized, Avengement, Abduction, Triple Threat, Ip Man 4 and The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud – Adkins is without doubt, one of the most active action stars in the business.
We’ll keep you updated on Ascenders as we learn more. For now, we leave you with a classic fight scene from Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning:
With great charity, I refuse to be a crank on said issues today!
