THE MOVIE: In New Orleans, a mysterious man looks to unite two warring gangs against the lawmen who have been using them to advance their corrupt agenda. Directed by Universal Soldier: Regeneration’s John Hyams and starring Cung Le, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Peter Weller.
Updates: Check out an interview with Cung Le here. In addition to horror, After Dark is now producing action films in collaboration with Joel Silver’s Dark Castle Entertainment. One of the titles announced will be Dragon Eyes, which is scheduled to be released later this year. Cung Le uploaded a documentary to YouTube which is mostly about him training for his UFC fights but if you fast forward to about 21:58, you can see some new footage from Dragon Eyes. Teaser poster, courtesy of impawards. To me, it sorta looks like a fan made poster. Whatever the case, it will do for now.
The UK Blu-ray/DVD is coming April 09, 2012. UK trailer is now available. It looks like May 11, 2012 will be American audiences’ first chance to see Dragon Eyes via Video On Demand or in select theaters. The film will be part of After Dark’s new Action fest, the details of which you can read over at Beyond Hollywood. Other films to look forward to include Scott Adkins in El Gringo and a Dolph Lundgren thriller called Stash House.
BREAKING NEWS: New extended trailer.
Whoa. Cung Lee in a movie with Van Damme and Peter Weller, directed by John Hyams? I’m there. Cung Lee is the real deal. When he fought Donnie Yen in “Bodyguards & Assassins,” that was the first time I was ever scared for Donnie!
Would losing to Silva in the UFC hurt his film career much??? Cung was doing good up until the final minutes of Rd 2 and he just gassed out and got caught with vicious Knees… If he would’ve won that fight, his film career would’ve sky rocketed!!!
Asian guys never win in the UFC.
@NegativeCreep, are you sure about that??? Korean Zombie just knocked out a Canadian dude in almost less than 7 sec giving him one of the fastest KO in UFC history… Did you mean, Asian American because you are right, not much success but only time will tell…
Cung Le is extremely talented and good for him that the Hong Kong movie industry is putting him in movies,at least in cameo appereances in True Legend.They need to put bring back Keith Vitalli,Cyntyia Rothrock,Loren Avedon,Robin Shou and at least put them in the mix.
I heard they are already cooking up a sequel for this movie.
Thanks for the latest news on this recently completed Van Damme film,for hopefully we’ll hear something about Van Damme’s long delayed THE EAGLE’S PATH hopefully getting a release(whether it on DVD/Blu Ray or in theaters) sometime later this year.
No problem. We had a small update on Eagle Path a couple of weeks ago here: http://www.cityonfire.com/jean-claude-van-damme-is-on-the-eagle-path/
Basically, there’s going to be some re-shooting, but the movie will eventually get released.
This film looks sick! Im hoping to pick it up soon! Hurry up and let’s get this film out!
Looks good.Cung Le has some good kicks.
Cung Le said North America release is in May.
I’ve been telling my bro’s that the new good movies start coming out in May. Man, I can’t wait for these! This is going to be a strong year for action movies.
