"Admiral" Theatrical Poster
Netherlands-based filmmaker Roel Reiné is primarily known for making straight-to-DVD sequels to theatrical hits like, Death Race 2, The Man with the Iron Fists 2 and The Scorpion King 3. Considering budget constraints, Reiné is one of the very few B movie directors who manages to pump ’em out with quality in mind.
We’ve gotten word from XLrator Media that Reiné’s newest film, titled Admiral (no relation to the similar-themed Korean film of the same name), will be available on VOD and iTunes on February 23, 2016, in theaters (limited release) on March 11, and on Blu-ray and DVD on April 5th.
Here’s what you can expect from Admiral: When the young republic of The Netherlands is attacked by England, France and Germany and the country itself is on the brink of civil war, only one man can lead the county’s strongest weapon, the Dutch fleet: Michiel de Ruyter. The film stars Frank Lammers, Sanne Langelaar, Barry Atsma, Egbert Jan-Weeber, Rutger Hauer and Charles Dance.
Judging from the Admiral’s impressive trailer, it’ll be interesting to see how Reiné’s Hard Target 2 (with Scott Adkins taking over for Van Damme) comes out. It’s no wonder why producers keep coming back to this guy for more sequels.
