Nicolas Cage to battle fearsome alien invader in sci-fi martial arts movie Jiu Jitsu

Nicolas Cage only just wrapped director Richard Stanley’s The Color Out of Space, in which he plays a character faced with a dangerous otherworldly force. And now the ever-busy Oscar winner has signed on to face an alien threat in the martial arts action saga Jiu Jitsu, from Kickboxer: Retaliation filmmaker Dimitri Logothetis.

The film is set in world where every six years, an ancient order of expert jiu jitsu fighters faces a fearsome extraterrestrial invader in a battle for Earth. For thousands of years, the fighters who protect Earth have played by the rules… until now.

When Jake Barnes (Alain Moussi), a celebrated war hero and master jiu jitsu fighter, 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. After a brutal alien attack, he’s rescued by Wylie (Nicolas Cage) and a team of fellow 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 once again determine the fate of mankind.

Jiu Jitsu is based on the comic book of the same name, which Logothetis wrote with Jim McGrath.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
