Well, everyone has already made headlines with this news, and we are late (we are always looking for new short films for you. Just kidding), but we cannot help but write about it. Scott Adkins will star in the film adaptation of English comics, and in what company...!
The first news was the message Scott Adkins on his Facebook account that he has signed up for the role of his dreams - the disaster man from the British comics of the same name Pat Mills and publishing houses Toxic!, which young Scott was engrossed in in 1991.
Further more. According to the news agency Deadline, film director "Disaster Man" (Accident Man) became a stunt coordinator, screenwriter and director Jesse W. Johnson (“Hooligans 3”), who has currently completed active work on the action movie "Wild Dog" starring Adkins, Marco Zaror, Cung Le and Juju Chan.
Well, after the names of the acting ensemble began to appear, the community of fans of action films, as they say, was “bombed.” The cast includes people well known to us: Michael Jai White (“Never Give Up 2-3”), Ray Park ("Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace") and Amy Johnston (“The Gate,” “Women’s Fight Club”). In addition, famous actors joined such a stellar “fighting” company Ashley Greene (Twilight franchise) and Ray Stevenson (“Thor 1-2”, “Punisher: War Zone”).
The fight scenes in the film are staged not just by anyone, but by Tim Man himself. He also got one of the minor roles.
The script, which Adkins himself co-wrote with Stu Small (TV series “Prison Break”), tells the story of Michael Fallon, a professional killer and cleaner who sees no obstacles in eliminating his target. But one day a member of his own team kills Michael’s beloved girlfriend, Beth. From now on, Fallon wants to take revenge on his offenders, gradually turning from a villain to a hero.
The film is being produced in the UK by a film production company. Link Entertainment, through which the shooting "Disaster Man" should begin in November this year in London.
Thus, for 2017, one intriguing action film with Scott Adkins became more. Everyone is waiting for the exit fourth film franchises "Undeniable", in addition, an action movie will appear in 2017 "Wild Dog" and a thriller by Andrzej Bartkowiak Altar Rock, where Adkins played one of the roles.
In the meantime, you can admire a couple of photos from the training sessions of Scott Adkins, Ray Park and Tim Man.
A big guy has joined the cast of Accident Man Martin Ford, who already worked with Scott and Tim on the film "Boyka: Undeniable".

The company was just great, the topic was interesting. The director is, of course, so-so, but certainly no “The Expendables” is needed when “Triple Threat”, “The Stoic” and this film are planned for next year.
For some reason Ray Park has become overweight, he needs to dry out.
I am pleased with the participation of such actors as Ray Stevenson and David Paymer, who are not DTV stars like Michael Jay White.
Just curious - no one knows how this super hero stands out from the rest, what superpowers he has?
Dmitriy,
He has no superpowers and is not a hero. He is a very tough assassin who arranges his murders to look like accidents or suicide. + he is a martial artist.
He is in many ways a parody of James Bond. He is selfish, a fan of dark humor, he is cooler and stronger than everyone, and the most beautiful girls fall in batches at his feet.
Thank you for paying attention to this project. and seriously the Russian name of the project is MAN-CATastrophe? Isn't the correct (direct) translation Accident Man?
TIMMONS,
Accident - often used as "Accident"
Yes, I know. that's why I asked. but I checked in Google translation, and found out that CATASTROPHE is one of the translation options for this word. and “Accidental Man” doesn’t sound very good. and MAN DISASTER sounds cool and promising.
