Looking absolutely bonkers (as expected), the next sure-to-be cult hit starring Nicolas Cage (Mandy, Color Out of Space) is the upcoming sci-fi martial arts action film Jiu Jitsu, and IGN has this week debuted the official trailer.
In the film...
"An ancient order of Jiu Jitsu fighters faces a vicious race of alien invaders in an epic battle for the survival of Earth."
The lengthier, more descriptive plot synopsis reads, "When Jake Barnes, a master Jiu Jitsu fighter, refuses to face Brax, an indomitable alien creature, the future of humanity hangs in the balance. Injured and suffering from severe amnesia, Jake is captured by a military squad unequipped to fight the merciless intruder who has descended upon the planet."
"Jake is rescued by Wylie, and an ancient order of Jiu Jitsu fighters who must help him recover his memory and regain his strength in order to band together and defeat Brax in an epic battle that will determine the fate of mankind."
It's basically Predator, but with less muscles and more martial arts, with an extra cheesy sheen.
Cage stars alongside Alain Moussi, Frank Grillo, Rick Yune, Marie Avgeropoulos, Juju Chan, and Tony Jaa.
Jiu Jitsu is co-written and directed by Kickboxer: Retaliation's Dimitri Logothetis.
The film debuts in theaters, On Demand and Digital on November 20th. Check out the trailer and poster art below.
