‘The Raid’ Director’s Next Movie is ‘Apostle’ Starring Dan Stevens
Gareth Evans’ Raid flicks are fucking phenomenal. Glorious white-knuckle strikes to your genitals, and you thank him for them. Evans’ next flick is going to be Apostle, starring Dan Stevens. Apparently dude was in Downtown Abigail, but more importantly he fucking ruled in The Guest.
The Raid and The Raid 2 rank among the most confident and satisfying action movies ever made, so yes, news of whatever director Gareth Evans is up to next should interest you. Although The Raid 3 still exists as a blip on the horizon, his next project looks like it will be a period action movie titled Apostle, with The Guest’s Dan Stevens set to star.
News of the film’s existence came our way via The Hollywood Reporter, who say that Apostle is a period action thriller about “a mysterious man who travels to a remote island in search of his missing sister.” And since this is a Gareth Evans movie, this mysterious man turns out to be someone you shouldn’t mess with:
In the film, the man attempts to rescue his sister after she’s kidnapped by a religious cult, which is demanding a ransom for her return. But it soon becomes clear that the cult will regret the day it baited this man, who digs deeper and deeper into the secrets and lies upon which the commune is built.
