Martial arts star Scott Adkins (John Wick 4, Ip Man 4, One More Shot) is re-teaming with director Adrian Bol for WestEnd Films’ Breaking Cover. The pair worked together in 2020’s Legacy of Lies.
The upcoming actioner follows an seemingly ordinary back-office worker (Adkins) whose father-daughter hunting trip turns into a relentless fight for survival, when they stumble upon an execution in an isolated North American forest, and the father’s past as a covert operative is unearthed (via Screen Daily).
Director Bol describes Breaking Cover as a “relentless, immersive survival thriller” and will use “handheld, steady cam, and drones to ensure the camera never stops moving. The audience will feel every pulse of danger, every moment of desperation, fully immersed in this high-stakes journey”, the source adds.
Breaking Cover starts shooting in May. Until then, here’s the Trailer for Bol/Adkins’ previous collaboration, Legacy of Lies:
I hope this goes well. Legacy of Lies was really disappointing after all the news articles out there hyped it up. Even Tim Man couldn’t save it. I wonder if this will be a film where Adkins doesn’t rely on martial arts to survive.
