If you’ve ever seen the fights that sometimes break out after a UK football match, you know that sports fans over there can be a testy bunch. Unsurprisingly, the widespread violence related to the sport has proved to be a source of inspiration to filmmakers. Back in 2005, Punisher: War Zone helmer Lexi Alexander directed Elijah Wood in Green Street Hooligans. The film managed to spawn a direct-to-video sequel in 2009, which moved the action to a prison.
Well, it looks like things are about to get even bloodier in Green Street Hooligans: Underground as action extraordinaire Scott Adkins has been called in help fill out the cast. This is actually the first British film that the England-born Adkins has been a part of. James Nunn, the filmmaker behind Fantastic Fest ’12’s breakout hit Tower Block, is handling directing duties. Today Scott Adkins posted several pictures from the film shoot on his Facebook page. Expect more news on this movie as it becomes available!
