Action-Comedy Film Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme
Blue Fox Entertainment has released the official trailer for The Gardener, an action-comedy film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The movie blends political satire with thrilling action sequences, offering a unique and engaging cinematic experience. Originally released under the French title Le Jardinier, the film is now set for its English-language premiere, expanding its international reach. Directed by David Charhon and co-written by Vincent De Brus and Sebastien Fechner, the film features a diverse cast led by Van Damme, alongside Michael Youn, Nawell Madani, Carla Poquin, and rapper Kaaris.
The plot centers around senior civil servant Serge Schuster, played by Michael Youn. Schuster unexpectedly discovers that he has been placed on the Prime Minister’s secret assassination list, a plan designed to eliminate potential threats under the guise of national security. As a target of a government-sanctioned deadly operation, Schuster fights to protect himself and his family from unseen enemies. His last hope lies in his quiet, mysterious gardener Leo, portrayed by Van Damme, who, despite his unassuming appearance, possesses remarkable skills.
The Gardener combines dark humor, political intrigue, and exhilarating action scenes, offering a fresh take on this genre. Van Damme’s portrayal of Leo is both tough and unexpectedly charismatic, delivering both thrilling action sequences and moments of dry humor. The film also explores themes such as corruption, loyalty, and the absurdity of bureaucratic power, all wrapped in a fast-paced, stylish package.
Scheduled for a global release on June 6, 2025, The Gardener is expected to draw a wide audience, especially fans of cross-genre films. Blue Fox Entertainment’s push for the film’s English-language debut highlights its potential for broader appeal and reignites interest in Van Damme’s career resurgence. The trailer teases a thrilling and unconventional journey through politics, family dynamics, and unexpected heroism, promising an exciting ride for moviegoers worldwide.
