The trailer for Cung Le’s new movie Dragon Eyes has just been released. Jean Claude Van Damme co-stars with Cung, along with Peter Weller (Robocop star), Dan Henderson, Trevor Prangley, and Gilbert Melendez. Dragon Eyes comes to DVD and Blu-ray on April 9, 2012.
BEVERLY HILLS, CA — (Marketwire) — 12/07/10 — Artist International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Studios International (PINKSHEETS: HYWS), client John Hyams has signed on to direct the mixed martial arts crime drama “Dragon Eyes” for Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis’ Dark Castle Entertainment in conjunction with After Dark and IM Global. “It’s a testament to John’s talent to be offered back to back jobs, including a 3D theatrical reboot of the ‘Universal Soldier’ franchise months after his directorial debut,” said Dave Brown, President of Artist International’s Motion Picture Literary Department. “John is quickly becoming a brand and we’re honored to represent such an emerging talent; it’s exciting to think what’s next.” The film, which stars champion fighter Cung Le, is scheduled to begin shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this month.
“Dragon Eyes” tells the tale of a man (Le) who unites two rival gangs from New Orleans’ poverty-stricken neighborhoods to fight back against the corrupt law enforcement officials who have been exploiting them to combat each other. The film is a modern American version of Akira Kurosawa’s “Yojimbo.”
Following the completion of “Dragon Eyes,” Hyams will helm “Universal Soldier: A New Dimension,” marking his return to the franchise after his directorial debut, 2009’s “Universal Soldier: Regeneration.”
