LATIN DRAGON: RESURRECTION: Fabian Carillo Returns In Follow-Up To 2004 Original Actioner, Art Camacho To Direct
Actor Fabian Carillo (Latin Dragon, Double Tap) is joining forces with filmmaker amd stunt multihyphenate Art Camacho (Ruthless, Lazarus: The Awakening) for a new production slate kicking off in 2026. First of the lot will be Latin Dragon: Resurrection, marking Carillo’s first return to the IP since starring in the original 2004 film directed by Scott Thomas from Screen Media.
“Working with Art is like lightning in a bottle,” says Carrillo. “We speak the same language when it comes to action. With Latin Dragon: Resurrection, we’re pushing the limits of choreography and storytelling to give fans the raw, authentic intensity they’ve been waiting for.”
According to an announcement last week, Latin Dragon: Resurrection is described as “a gritty international action thriller following a retired covert operative as he uncovers a deadly conspiracy linking the Mexican cartel, the Russian Bratva, and a secret black-ops program known as Resurrection.” The rest of the description reads as follows: “Hunted by assassins and betrayed by his own allies, he must survive a relentless war of revenge and corruption before the last surviving members of his team are erased forever.”
The project currently remains in the development phase; Further casting announcements still pending for what is being billed as “an elite ensemble cast” for “a raw, grounded action thriller blending tactical combat, emotional stakes, and brutal realism.” The slate in question will also see the involvement of an unnamed “Marvel comic book icon and a world-renowned Mexican wrestling legend,” according to the announcement.
“Fabian is a rare talent who does his own heavy lifting,” says Camacho. “Our goal was to create a gritty, high-stakes world where the action is as much a part of the character development as the dialogue.”
The inaugural action flick also starred Lorenzo Lamas, Gary Busey, and Joyce Giraud, along with Robert LaSardo, James Hong and Pepe Serna. Familiarize yourselves with the original in the trailer below, and feel free to follow along for more info:
