“The Raid” Theatrical Poster
Writer/director Gareth Evans (Apostle, Merantau), the mastermind behind The Raid franchise, has his next film lined up: a thriller titled Havoc, which will star and be produced by Tom Hardy (Mad Max Fury Road).
The film will also star Timothy Olyphant (Live Free or Die Hard), Forest Whitaker (Bloodsport), Justin Cornwell (The Umbrella Academy), Luis Guzmán (Carlito’s Way), Jessie Mei Li (Last Night in Soho), Yeo Yann Yann (Wet Season), Quelin Sepulveda (Meeting Place), Sunny Pang (Headshot, The Night Comes for Us), and UFC mixed martial artist Michelle Waterson (via Variety).
After a drug deal gone wrong, a bruised detective (Hardy) must fight his way through a criminal underworld to rescue a politician’s estranged son, while unraveling a deep web of corruption and conspiracy that ensnares his entire city (via Collider).
An addition to Hardy producing, Havoc will also be produced by Evans’ own One More One Productions, along with Severn Screen’s Ed Talfan and XYZ Films’s Aram Tertzakian.
Havoc will be the first (2nd, if you count Apostle) of multiple projects Evans will be doing with Netflix. We’ll keep you updated as production progresses.
Not to be confused with Havok from the Marvel comics, I take it.
Ooooh, boy. I find myself suddenly aroused.
This is going to be awesome!!!!
Right?! Luis Guzmán’s gonna be in a Gareth Evans movie. 😂 What world am I living on?
