Universal Pictures has released a crazy and fun trailer for a wild and violent action film titled Monkey man, which is a movie that wasn’t on my radar at all. The film was directed by Dev Patel (Leo, millionaire from the slums), who also stars in Jordan Peele-product project.
This film originally took place on Netflix, but Peele apparently loved what Patel did with the film so much that he pushed for the film to get a theatrical release, which is what we’re getting. It seems like the movie is the kind of movie audiences would want to see on the big screen!
The film’s description says: “Patel makes a stunning tour de force directorial debut with an action thriller about one man’s quest for revenge against the corrupt leaders who killed his mother and continue to systematically victimize the poor and powerless “.
The story is “Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon who embodies strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who eke out a skinny living in an underground Fight Club where, night after night, he wears a mask as a gorilla, he is beaten bloody by the most popular fighters for money.
“After years of pent-up anger, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the city’s sinister elite enclave. As his childhood trauma reignites, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of revenge to settle scores with the men who took everything from him.”
Dev Patel also developed the original story and wrote the screenplay Paul Angunawela AND John Collee (Master and Commander: The Other Side of the World).
The film is said to be packed with thrilling and spectacular fight and chase scenes, and the film’s international cast includes this Sharlto Copley (District 9), Sobhita Dhulipala (Made in heaven), Pitobash (Million dollar arm), Vipin Sharma (Hotel Bombay), Ashwini Kalsekar (Ek Tha Hero), Adithi Kalkunte (Hotel Bombay), Sikandar Kher (Aarya) AND Makarand Deshpande (RRR).
Monkey man is produced by Dev Patel, Jomon Thomas (Hotel Mumbai, The Man Who Knew Infinity), Jordan Peele (No, go out), Win Rosenfeld (Candyman, Hunters series), Ian Cooper (No, us), Basil Iwanyk (John Wick franchising, Hitman movie), Erica Lee (John Wick franchising, Silent night), Christine Haebler (Closed, Crow Bones) AND Anjay Nagpal (executive producer of Bomb, greyhound). Serving as executive producers are Jonathan Fuhrmann, Natalia Pavchinskya, Aaron L. Gilbert, Andria Spring, Alison-Jane Roney AND Steven Thibault.
Monkey man will only be released in theaters on April 5, 2024.
