“Darkness of Man” Theatrical Poster
We’ll soon see martial arts superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme (Welcome to the Jungle, Until Death, Black Water) in Saban Film’s Darkness of Man (aka Born to Kill), an upcoming thriller directed and written by James Cullen Bressack, who is perhaps best known for helming the 2019 Steven Seagal/DMX actioner Beyond the Law, and 2022’s Hot Seat, starring Mel Gibson/Kevin Dillon.
The film is written by both Bressack and Alethea Cho, with input from Van Damme. Bressack is also producing, alongside Jarrett Furst (Fast Vengeance).
Set in Los Angeles, Darkness of Man sees Van Damme play Russell Hatch, an Interpol operative who takes on the role of father figure to Jayden, the son of an informant killed in a routine raid gone wrong. Years later, Hatch finds himself protecting Jayden and his uncle from a group of merciless gangs in an all-out turf war, stopping at nothing to protect Jayden and fight anyone getting in his way — including supposed allies with hidden agendas and nefarious intents (via THR).
The film also features a supporting cast that includes Eric Roberts (Best of the Best), Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines), Kris Van Damme (Black Water), Peter Jae (Blackhat), Spencer Breslin (The Kid), Emerson Min (Black-ish), Sticky Fingaz (Blade) and MMA star, Nick Diaz. Also, be on the look out for appearances from Shannen Doherty (Mallrats) and Cynthia Rothrock (The Blonde Fury).

Pretty cool trailer! I like the Don Siegel/Walter Hill/Wayne Kramer vibes I’m getting here.
Hope it turns out the way it’s supposed to!
