Events at Cannes have been a turning point for some film fans highly keen on all things ado with action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Having made a splash this year with buzz for the launch of his Rodin Entertainment sales banner and announcing another slate of film prospects, his latest offering now brings us a pulsating look at Braqueurs helmer Julien Leclerq's new thriller, Lukas, otherwise hailed in our territories as The Bouncer.
Lukas, a nightclub bouncer in his fifties who's taken punches, literally and figuratively, struggles to raise his 8 year old daughter. One day, Lukas loses control during an altercation with a client and ends up in jail, while his daughter gets placed under the care of social services. But things take an unexpected turn when Interpol recruits Lukas to bring down a Dutch ringleader operating from Belgium in exchange for his daughter's custody.The first official teaser and accommodation poster have both arrived and very befitting with one another in terms of mood and tone. Darkly-lit scenes with a visage of blue on its stronger contours lends it a refreshing noir look for a French production and to Van Damme's benefit, looks damn good as well.
Ocean Films Distribution is releasing it in France on August 22 with further dates pending in other territories.
