According to
Deadline, Netflix has now picked up exclusive distribution rights for the newest project from the director of
The Raid: Redemption, Gareth Evans. The film is called
Apostle and has been described as a period revenge thriller about a man who tries to rescue his sister from a mysterious cult on a remote island. The cult wants a ransom for her return, but – as anyone that has seen
The Raid can tell you – that’s a decision they’ll learn to regret. The specific period the film takes place in isn’t clear yet, but it will be a departure for Evans who’s previous movies have all been modern stories.
Legion star, Dan Stevens has already been cast for a while, but this newest announcement also comes with word that Michael Sheen, Lucy Boynton, Bill Millner, and Kristine Froseth. It’s set to start shooting in April, but there’s currently no release date announced. Considering most production schedules, it should be expected in the second half of 2018.
That was my favorite short in VHS 2!
