“We need to make sure he doesn’t make it into the top 50.” Giant Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for an indie martial arts action thriller film titled Absolute Dominion, the latest feature made by Punisher: War Zone director Lexi Alexander. This will be out on VOD in May to watch. It’s sort of a contemporary reboot of Bloodsport or Mortal Kombat, set in the near future involving a grand tournament. In 2063, desperate for a solution to save humanity from a global holy war on religions, the world’s governing bodies establish a fierce, no-holds-barred martial-arts tournament to determine a champion whose faith will govern humanity and restore peace for the future. Created by an internet personality (played by Patton) the event is called The Battle Of Absolute Dominion. All qualifying belief systems will send one representative to compete, the last fighter standing wins Absolute Dominion for one faith. Can you guess which one is going to win from the trailer? The film stars Désiré Mia as fighter Sagan Bruno, Andy Allo, Mario D’Leon, Alex Winter, Olunike Adeliyi, and Patton Oswalt. With fight coordination from Phil Tan (known for Bloodsport 2, Martial Law, Showdown in Little Tokyo, Lethal Weapon 4). Looks like a good time – fights better kick ass.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Lexi Alexander’s film Absolute Dominion, direct from YouTube:
