A mythic monster is back and deadlier than ever in The Black Demon: Atlantis, the follow-up to 2023’s The Black Demon.
The sequel is directed by cinematographer Carmen Cabana (“Resident Evil,” “Ms. Marvel,” “Narcos: S2”) and written by Aaron Benjamin (The Nest), Boise Esquerra (The Black Demon), and Cabana.
The Black Demon: Atlantis stars Jack Kesy (Hellboy: The Crooked Man, Deadpool 2) and Julio César Cedillo (Sicario, “Narcos: Mexico”).
New cast additions include Harold Torres (Silent Night, Memory), Vanesa Restrepo (“Surviving The Cartel,” “The Surrogacy”), and Anthony Del Negro (“Running Point”).
The new film is set in “Atlantis, a remote maximum-security prison in the Pacific Ocean. Undercover DEA agent Jerry Simms (Jack Kesy) arrives at the offshore fortress run by the enigmatic Warden Reyes (Vanesa Restrepo) after his operative (Anthony Del Negro) mysteriously disappears while investigating inmate deaths tied to Diego Núñez (Harold Torres), a feared cult-like killer rumored to wield ancient powers.
“As mutilated bodies surface around the prison and whispers of blood rituals spread through the cell blocks, Atlantis spirals into fear, violence, and chaos. Forced to rely on Chato (Julio César Cedillo), a haunted inmate who knows the prison’s hidden underworld, Jerry is pulled into a desperate fight for survival when the legendary Black Demon tears into Atlantis, turning it into a nightmarish war zone.“
Producers include Javier Chapa for Mucho Mas Media (The Long Game, Rosario starring Emeraude Toubia and David Dastmalchian) and Arianne Fraser, Delphine Perrier, and Caleb Ward for Highland Film Group.
“Helmed by visionary cinematographer Carmen Cabana, The Black Demon: Atlantis is big in scale and wide in scope and will feature spectacular action sequences full of tension and suspense,” said Highland Film Group COO Delphine Perrier.
Josh Lucas (The Forever Purge) starred in The Black Demon back in 2023.
Production on Atlantis is currently underway in Colombia.
