“The doctor will never let us go. Not until the next upgrade.” Saban Films has unveiled an official trailer for a vengeance super soldier action thrillers called Dark Asset, another one of these direct-to-VOD action movies. Written and directed by Michael Winnick, it’s being released everywhere in September for anyone ready to watch. While attempting to pick up a woman at a bar, a mysterious man weaves a tale involving spies, implanted microchips, and about the dangerous military scientist who is pursuing him. Little does she know, this stranger is actually telling her the truth. This clever, fast-paced, action spy-thriller is about a John Doe super soldier who has escaped from the military program that has transformed him into a lethal living weapon. This stars Byron Mann as the John, with Robert Patrick, Helena Mattsson, Shani Rigsbee, Sabina Gadecki, Truong Ngoc Anh, and Erica Muñoz. Of course, if you want to watch an awesome super soldier sci-fi movie, I’d rather recommend Leigh Whannell’s Upgrade instead of this. The amount of times they mention “upgrade” in this trailer makes me wonder if they’re clearly making this wink.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Michael Winnick’s Dark Asset, direct from YouTube:
In this adrenaline-fueled action film, an ordinary soldier becomes the subject of a top-secret experimental program. Under the guise of enhancing his combat abilities, they have transformd him into a “lethal living weapon.” As this John Doe delves deeper into the project, he uncovers the horrifying truth behind the program’s objectives and the dark intentions of his creator. Fueled by a thirst for justice and driven by a desire for vengeance, the soldier breaks free, embarking on a relentless mission to dismantle the program while navigating a dangerous web of betrayal, conspiracy, and high-stakes action. Dark Asset is written & directed by filmmaker Michael Winnick, of the films Deuces, Shadow Puppets, Guns Girls & Gambling, The Better Half, Code of Honor, Malicious, and this year’s Disquiet previously. From a story by Michael Winnick and Terri Farley-Teruel. This hasn’t premiered at any fests or elsewhere, as far as we know. Saban debuts Winnick’s Dark Asset in select US theaters + on VOD starting September 22nd, 2023. Into this?
