Nicolas Cage has been tapped to star in the forthcoming sci-fi martial arts movie, Jiu Jitsu.
Cage will lead the film directed and written by Dimitri Logothetis. He joins the previously announced Alain Moussi, who has collaborated with Logothetis in the latter’s last two Kickboxer movies.
Per the official logline: Every six years, an ancient order of expert Jiu Jitsu fighters faces a fearsome alien invader in a battle for Earth. When war hero and master Jiu Jitsu fighter Jake Barnes (Moussi) refuses to face Brax, the indomitable leader of the invaders, the future of humanity hangs in the balance. Injured and suffering from severe amnesia, Jake is captured by a military squad who have descended upon the planet and is rescued by Wylie (Cage) and a team of fellow Jiu Jitsu fighters who must help him recover his memory and regain his strength to engage in an epic battle that will once again determine the fate of mankind.
Cage’s list of credits is long, but you can see him next in Jason Cabell’s Running with the Devil.
