According to Matt Staudt, the co-founder of Game Up Nutrition (a CBD brand founded by the Diaz brothers), Diaz also had a hand in choreographing one of the film’s fight scene.
Martial arts legend Jean-Claude Van Damme (The Last Mercenary) is set to star alongside Kristanna Loken (Mercenaries) in the action thriller Darkness of Man directed by by James Cullen Bressack (Survive the Game).

Set against the backdrop of L.A., Hatch finds himself protecting Jayden and his uncle Mr. Kim from a group of merciless gangs led in an all-out turf war. In a resulting fight to survive, Hatch will stop at nothing to protect Jayden and fight anyone getting in his way, including supposed allies with hidden agendas and nefarious intents.
