Accident Man Exclusive Trailer for Action Packed Comic Adaptation
The Accident Man trailer showcases a violent romp that adapts a comic book series from the creator of Judge Dredd.
Accident Man is a comic book movie that's looking to capitalize on the ultraviolent R-rated cinematic floodgate that was lucratively busted open in 2016 by Deadpool.
The movie culls its concept from a surprisingly esoteric source in a story series written by Judge Dredd creator Pat Mills with Tony Skinner that was originally presented in Toxic!, a defunct UK-based anthology comic book series that published on a weekly basis back in 1991. The project is headlined by perennial action star Scott Adkins (Doctor Strange, The Expendables 2), who plays titular Accident Man Mike Fallon, a brash hitman specializing in making his victims’ fates look like accidents. However, Fallon becomes humbled by tragedy after his girlfriend Beth is killed. Consequently, he embarks on a violent quest for revenge.
Accident Man will make a deceivingly accidental release to DVD, Blu-ray, and digital on February 6, 2018.
Per the official synopsis:
Accident Man was directed by stunt-coordinator-turned-helmer Jesse Johnson (The Package, Pit Fighter), who worked off a script by star Scott Adkins and Stu Small (the upcoming The Pay Up). Adkins is also onboard as a producer, joined by Craig Baumgarten (Universal Soldier series), Ben Jacques (iBoy), and Erik Kritzer (All Nighter).
Ashley Greene co-stars. While her existing comic book movie experience resides in providing the voice of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in the last spate of Batman video games, this movie represents a potent opportunity to finally break out from the shadow of the Twilight film series. She’s coming off a role in the DirecTV exclusive series Rogue and will next appear in the comedy Antiquities.
Also amongst the main cast are Ray Stevenson (the Thor films, Black Sails, Dexter), Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite, The Dark Knight, Spawn), Ray Park (the G.I. Joe films, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, X-Men), David Paymer (The Good Wife, Perception, Drag Me to Hell) and Amy Johnston (Lady Bloodfight, Raze, Dracula: Reborn), an action-inclined stuntwoman who worked on the aforementioned Deadpool.
