Vanessa Hudgens Joins Mads Mikkelsen in Action Spy Thriller THE BLACK KAISER

Vanessa Hudgens is set to star next Mads Mikkelsen in the upcoming spy action thriller film The Black Kaiserwhich will be directed by Derrick Borte (Unhinged).

The project is based on the Dark Horse graphic novel Polar by Victor Santos and the film’s screenplay was written by Jayson Rothwell. In the story, “the Black Kaiser (Mikkelsen), the world’s deadliest hit man, uncovers a deadly conspiracy protecting a powerful syndicate of assassins and becomes their No. 1 target.”

Here is the description from the graphic novel:

Snatched from retirement by an assassination attempt, the world’s deadliest spy – the former agent known as the Black Kaiser – is a wanted man who is wanted… dead! On a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser clashes with an expert in psychotic torture and stabbing and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission ends only if he dies or kills everyone to get it… and he’s not in the habit of dying. A fiery espionage action-adventure in the grand tradition of Jim Steranko and Frank Miller, this graphic novel from Victor Santos (Mice Templar, Filthy Rich) is a fast-paced, brutal revenge story that Newsarama says is “like ice-cold like its name.” It was originally a silent webcomic, but Santos crafted a script as tough and intriguing as his art for this hardcover collection.

The project is a production of Constantin Film, JB Pictures and Dark Horse Entertainment and is produced by Jeremy Bolt AND Roberto Kulzertwo of the manufacturers behind the Resident Evil franchise. The film should be shot this fall.
