BLACK LOTUS: Don’t Miss The Official Trailer For Rico Verhoeven’s Feature Debut Action Thriller Ahead Of Its NL Release!
If you’re as new to the trailer below as I am then consider yourselves happily reminded of the awesomeness ahead that is action thriller, Black Lotus. The film stars eleven-time world champion kickboxer Rico Verhoeven in his feature acting debut from a script by Tad Daggerhart and directed by Todor Chapkanov.
In Black Lotus, Verhoeven plays the role of special forces officer Matteo Donner. After his best friend died while on a joint mission, he roamed the world struggling with guilt. Back in Amsterdam he ends up in a one-man war in the streets and on the canals of the city. Between explosions, flying bullets and crashing cars, Donner has only one goal: to rescue the kidnapped daughter of his dead friend.
That’s the description per the film’s announcement mid-production. I first caught wind of this project from a source close to it and was left in the dark for most of the way until a teaser arose in December which our own Mike Garcia shared. This trailer however has been up since January and I’m gonna have a word with Mike about that… Maybe get Rico to choke him out for sleeping on this? Hm… we’ll see.
I’m kidding…maybe!
Black Lotus also stars Marie Dompnier, Paul Peter Franzen, Rona-Lee Shimon, Swedish Magnus Samuelsson, Simon Wan, Kevin Janssens, and Roland Møller. The movie opens in Danish cinemas from DFW on April 13.
