Dutch kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven is set to star in, and co-produce The Black Lotus with Tom de Mol and Marcel de Block, the duo responsible for producing The Hitman’s Bodyguard.

According to THR, The Black Lotus — inspired by action classics such as Man on Fire and Taken — will see Verhoeven play an ex-military operative on a revenge mission to save the woman he loves.

Verhoeven recently had a supporting role in the recent Kickboxer: Retaliation, which starred Alain Moussi, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Mike Tyson.

Producers are currently seeking a director and writer for a 2019 shoot.
