Nicolas Cage is set to star in the forthcoming sci-fi martial arts movie, directed and written by Dimitri Logothetis (Kickboxer: Retaliation and Kickboxer: Armageddon). 

Cage will star opposite the previously announced Alain Moussi, who starred as the lead in Logothetis’ Kickboxer: Retaliation.

Here’s the feature’s 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.

“After we successfully reintroduced the Kickboxer franchise to a new generation of martial arts fans with the sixth and seventh entries in the series, we set out to up the ante with a sci-fi martial arts franchise that could bring the same kind of intensity and longevity to a new arena,” Logothetis said of Jiu Jitsu.
