Jason David Frank's final film project, Legend of the White Dragon, will be getting a theatrical release this fall! The news comes from Bat in the Sun Productions, Bascule Productions Ltd, and Falling Forward Films and they also released a poster that is sure to get fans excited.
While there isn’t an exact release date yet, the press release states that the film will be in theaters "in conjunction with what would have been Jason David Frank's 50th birthday," which would fall in September.
The press release shares: "When Jason David Frank tragically took his own life late last year, it became the filmmaker's mission to honor his legacy by completing the film the way Frank envisioned it. Frank was a beloved actor who still has a great emotional impact on fans around the world. He was a world-renowned and acclaimed martial artist, who brought the same passion to his performances on the screen. In this film, Jason David Frank plays Erik Reed, a complex character that really allowed him to showcase his incredible range as an actor.”
The film’s filmmaker and co-star Aaron Schoenke said in a statement: "We are proud to have worked with such a talented actor, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share his final performance with the world. Having been on this journey with Jason for 10 years, I know he would be beyond excited to know that Legend of the White Dragon will be opening in theaters."
Producer Sean Schoenke added: "Despite the tremendous loss, the production team has worked tirelessly to complete the film and ensure that it meets the high standards that Jason set for himself. The result is a powerful and moving tribute to his talent and dedication."
Scott Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Falling Forward Films said: "We are honored to be helping to bring the last film of such a talented artist to worldwide audiences. We hope that fans of Jason David Frank will love to see the collaboration of so many celebrated actors together in Legend of the White Dragon."
In the film, Frank plays Erik Reed, “a disgraced hero who goes into exile following a horrific event known as The Aftermath, which left a city destroyed. Blamed for the catastrophe, the city's protectors were stripped of their titles and hunted.”
"After being a fugitive on the run for three years, the White Dragon has returned to the city he fought to protect. He must now clear his name and save the family he keeps in secret before the mysterious Dragon Prime unleashes his own revenge on the White Dragon."
When previously talking about the project Frank said: "The audience, I think, is going to really relate to Erik Reed because he's completely different opposite than Tommy Oliver. And I think if they can imagine what my... It has no relation at all, but I'm saying as far as my audience, it's a deeper, older, I wouldn't say version of Tommy Oliver at all. It's a completely different character. But what they're going to see is Jason David Frank in a more mature role, meaning that he's... I can finally express on television, that's not for kids, nothing that's PG-13."
He added: "For example. I don't think our older characters could ever relate or express themselves as a regular teenager would nowadays. A lot of teens or kids deal with depression, especially during this quarantine stuff. No one really thinks about the depression aspect of it. So I feel that they can relate to more realistic life, meaning that we all have problems that we deal with. You're going to see that in Erik Reed. We all have regrets that we got to deal with. Believe it or not, everyone's life is a little complex, that maybe only you can understand."
Legend of the White Dragon also stars Mark Dacascos (John Wick: Chapter 3), King Bach (Walking Dead, Greenland), Michael Madsen (Kill Bill 1 & 2, Sin City), David Ramsey (Arrow, The Flash), Aaron Schoenke, Jason Faunt, Rachel Brooke Smith, Ciara Hanna, Kevin Porter, Mayling Ng, Cerina Vincent and Jenna Rae Frank.
