The bond is strong between action star Louis Mandylor (The Doorman) and martial arts senstation Scott Adkins (John Wick 4, Ip Man 4, Triple Threat). The two have co-starred in a number of titles including 2018’s The Debt Collector, 2019’s Avengement, 2020’s The Debt Collectors, as well as the upcoming Skyline: Warpath.
But now, their professional relationship is moving into the next level with Odyssey Motion Pictures and Well Go USA’s Death March, an upcoming actioner that’ll see Louis Mandylor, for the first time ever, directing Adkins. Of course, Mandylor is no stranger to being behind the camera (he has 8 films to his directorial credit, which include the recently released 3 Days in Malay), so he has some experience to play around with.
Death March takes place during WWII and centers on a British SAS officer (Adkins) who is captured and forced to fight in a Japanese internment camp. Judging from shots we’ve seen, the film promises to deliver the action goods, especially for martial arts fans (is that a Karate dojo fight scene we see?).
Co-starring alongside Adkins are Peter Shinkoda (Mortal Kombat: Legacy), Gabbi Garcia (Unbreak My Heart), Michael Copon (The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior), Donald Cerrone (Lights Out), Gary Cairns (Day Labor), Shane Kosugi (9 Deaths of the Ninja), Atsuki Kashio (Black Swindler), Kansuke Yokoi (The Locked Room) and Sol Eugenio (1521: The Quest for Love and Freedom)
Although it hasn’t been confirmed, we suspect that Masanori Mimoto (Hydra, Baby Assassins), who also stars, may play a role in the film’s action choreography. Additionally, Stephen Renney, who has worked on stunts in films such as Monkey Man and Renfield, is also contributing to the film’s action department.
Death March will be released by Well Go USA at a soon to be announced date. Until then, we leave you with the Trailer for 3 Days in Malay (so you can see Mandylor’s handy work as a filmmaker), as well as some official stills from the film:
