Phil Tan (Lethal Weapon 4), whose stunt/choreography work includes 1990’s Martial Law, 1996’s Bloodsport 2 and the recent Bullet Train, is handling the film’s fight choreography.
Absolute Dominion is currently in post production. Originally, Netflix planned to distribute Absolute Dominion, with Blumhouse Productions producing, but for reasons unknown, both companies have dropped out (via Variety) and the film is currently seeking distribution.
