If you can’t get enough of The Raid star
Iko Uwais — and let’s be honest here, he’s quickly become one of the must-watch
action movie badasses in the world — you’re going to be getting a lot more of
him shortly. And he’s just lined up another project we can’t wait to see,
called Headshot.
According to Twitch, Uwais — who, along with his stunt team,
is also handling the fight choreography — plays a young man who washes ashore
with amnesia caused by serious head trauma. A young doctor nurses him back to
health, but eventually his shady past comes back to haunt him and kick ass
fight scenes follow. Yes, please.
Directed by the Mo Brothers (Macabre,
Killers), Headshot is expected to start
principal photography at the end of the month. It will also star Sunny Pang and
Julie Estelle, who you may know better as Hammer Girl from The Raid 2. Again, this sounds damn near perfect.
In addition to Headshot, Uwais also has
some as yet undefined role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
that we’ll get a look at later this year (unless he’s buried under layers of
makeup, which seem likely), and he’ll co-lead Peter Berg’s Mile 22 with UFC champ Ronda Rousey and Mark Wahlberg, which should film
before too long.
