Starring in sequels to earlier theatrical titles is becoming a habit for martial star Scott Adkins (Close Range). First was Undisputed 2 and Undisputed 3 (another sequel is currently pending), then came Green Street 3: Never Back Down, and just recently, it was announced that he’d be doing a Hard Target 2.
Now, Adkins is back at it with Jarhead 3: The Siege, a similarly themed, but unrelated sequel to the first two Jarhead movies. This one revolves around a group of Marines who must protect a US Embassy in the Middle East when it suddenly comes under attack from enemy forces.
Judging from the newly released trailer to Jarhead 3: The Siege, those looking for Adkins to show off his fighting ability may be left disappointed – because it looks like it’s more about gunfights and explosions than weaponless action – but then again, you’ll never know what the full movie has to offer.
Jarhead 3: The Siege is directed by William Kaufman (One in the Chamber) and also stars Charlie Weber (Vampires Suck), Tom Ainsley (Versailles), Erik Valdez (Paint It Black) and Dante Basco (Blood and Bone).
Jarhead 3: The Siege is expected to be released – presumably straight-to-dvd – early 2016.
